Sue Kedgley, Green Party MP and author

Interviewed by

Tim Lynch

Sue Kedgley, is currently the Chairperson of the New Zealand Parliament Health Committee, a Green Member of Parliament for 9 years and her most recent book, is titled Eating Safely in a Toxic World.

The interview covers, food labeling, irradiated food, poor quality food in hospitals, retirement villages and prisons, diet and sugar drinks, deteriorating teeth, education to what is a good diet and political party politics. Also, Codex and TGA effects from Australia where we get an insight to the state of affairs of Health across NZ and the way out, by growing our own vegetables in our own back yard.

Sue tells us as it is, in the way food is processed and consumed in NZ and the huge challenge around changing food and eating habits. Particularly, ways that empower the individual and family to once again take charge of our choices on what we can do, to get closer to our food source and become a strong healthy nation once again.

During the COVID lockdown crises, NZ as a country hunkered down as a team of Five Million as the Prime Minister called us. We essentially did what we thought\n was in the best interests for the nation as a whole. However, after a short time there came from the academic realm, another voice that said hold on\n a moment, the statistics coming in seem to be not telling the full story, so let’s take another look at what's really happening?\n
\n

This voice was Dr Simon Thornley who courageously stated that the facts were indeed not clearly stated. He also noted that Professor John Ioannidis of\n the Department of Epidemiology from Stanford University in the US was finding the same slanted stats and later on - Prof Carl Heneghan of\n Oxford University, in the UK also noted this.

When Simon looked at the early evidence at the first stages of the lockdown - of who were in hospital or were very unwell the statistics showed people\n dying who were actually expected to die in a short while anyway - as a result of old age or other comorbidities - such as heart problems, cancer and\n other ends of life ailments.

The statistics that he was able to gather showed by far the majority of people who were dying were in the 80s to 90s. This was supported in a Sky News\n Broadcast on the 20th of September they said that …. Back in July a statistical anomaly was spotted which changed the way COVID 19 deaths were\n counted. Previously Public Health England included any death of a person who had previously had Covid 19 as a Corona virus fatality even if they had\n recovered from the virus and died of another cause - and the person who spotted that was professor Carl Hennigan from the University of Oxford - who\n has been quite critical of the UK lockdown, going a step further stating that the British PM was surrounded by mediocre advisors!

In the interview, Simon lays out the anomalies and says that we in NZ need to be cautious, protect the elderly in particular and open up the country which\n means schools as well.

There are a good number of profound points covered in this ranging interview and the big one is that this Covid is very much like a very severe\n flu. Saying that this virus is not as deadly as we had initially believed. \n

https://youtu.be/SgixfAGVwT4 Simon on ‘Plan B’\n

The Interview:

Simon talks about when a virus kicks in it expands and reaches a climax at the top of the bell curve and then falls away. That is even with no intervention - saying that the virus eventually burns itself out - this is what we call herd immunity.\n

This is the way we recover from 99%of virus afflictions - that’s basically it.

So he says that the strategy that needs to be on the table, which Sweden was discussing was ‘herd immunity’ and sheltering the vulnerable - we knew for\n example that people in rest homes, in hospitals, were very susceptible to the virus - certainly people over the age of 65 - much more than people under\n that age … so that was a reasonable strategy …and he (like me) got behind the NZ Govt’s initial response to protect hospitals and rest\n homes and avoid the spread of the virus in hospitals. However, Simon said that the response went further with slogans - like “we are going in hard\n and early” and “we are going to eliminate the virus” and he said we know that the hospitals were never under threat in NZ. That even in the height\n of Covid - there was spare capacity.

Simon says that he sees that Covid19 has taken this ‘exalted status’ - and it concerns him - given its overall importance that in many ways there are many\n other important challenges within the health domain. Mental health and suicides which was mentioned towards the end of this interview.

We talk about Turkey and they locking down only the young and the elderly and having everyone between 20 and 70 stay at work and they had the same death\n toll - per % of population - virtually the same as Switzerland, even though the Swiss followed the conventional lockdown procedure.

Simon mentions that the Turk’s obviously were paying attention as to who was really at risk. Saying he is not sure about the young ones - the children and that his reading of the situation is that they are even at a lower risk of anything happening in terms of severe outcomes. Especially when compared with middle age people etc, that keeping the economy going seemed very sensible.\n

The Icelandic Experience - In Iceland they tested a considerable number and they found many with - Asymptomatic infection - so people\n there were testing positive with Covid - but without symptoms - so that was crucial information as we initially thought that everyone with Covid had\n severe symptoms and were going to need hospital treatment and may end up being fatal.

So this was important - and there are big questions as to why - and the knock-on effect around our planet is - why the degree of lockdown\n when Iceland showed up anomalies and people with Covid - did not fall ill? \n

Also Iceland opened up its borders and they seem to have readjusted their risk to some degree to the virus …. That their tourism industries are\n recovering …Listen\n

Also talked about was the CVC https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html in\n the USA and the rewriting of Covid deaths down to 6%. - you will have to listen \n

He states this ratio is of high interest and that is simply about the number of people who die of Covid and also who die because of Covid - stating there is a distinction there … and he says the definition is INTERESTING - divided by the total number of people who have\n Covid and initially the WHO stated this was very important that this was high - much much higher than what we would expect for influenza - for example\n about 3.4% for example - where we expect influenza to be about 0.1% or 1 in a thousand - so the WHO was saying - 3 to 4 in a hundred were dying compared\n to 1 in a thousand with flu - however listen to how Simon covers this and you will hear that the fatalities of Covid have\n been ‘dialing down’ more and more that they are now getting closer to the range of seasonal influenzas.

Listen as Professor John Ioannidis of the Department of Epidemiology from Stanford University is quoted as saying the fatality rate is about 3 in a thousand\n - the CDC is a little bit higher than that, at 0.6% - so he says we are seeing a ‘dialling back’ of the fatality rate from the virus.

Note that the age of deaths by Covid in NZ is virtually the same as for normal or natural mortality as he compared this for the year 2019 …Listen … that the distribution was virtually exactly the same. as the ages of the people who had died with Covid in NZ.

Simon mentions that this virus is not as deadly as we have initially believed - (Listening to this interview is better - it’s only 22 meg) \n

Prof Carl Heneghan Oxford Prof - Watch - evidence based medicine - Sky TV interview https://youtu.be/dxm2HZp8c3A\n

The Professor even states that “the British PM was surrounded by mediocre advisors”

That corona viruses and flu are seasonal - so listen

Love, connection and being with family and kin - is very important, if not imperative.\n

We hear that within the public health community there is a perception that by locking everyone down this is one-way they see as keeping us safe etc …\n like risk-free… by intervention - but there is also a knock-on effect as there is a major loss of connection - that people need to be with each\n other and experience love and family and warmth, plus touch being imperative for family and community.

But also stated is that we now know that locking down has very serious implications - such as in England - not only to the economy - but with Covid that\n people who are suffering from diabetes and cardiovascular to cancer, strokes - you name it - are now not receiving the attention that they previously\n received as Covid has cornered everyone's attention.

Here in NZ 50,000 people have gone on the unemployment benefit and being unemployed takes away people's feelings of self-worth. Paid Employment is very\n good for mental health. Not enough money for decent food - results in poor nutrition and also poor thinking and decision making.

As a result, he says - the lockdown is going to increase inequalities in NZ.

The NZ Govt itself did an analysis through the Productivity Commission on extending the lockdown for another 5 days in relation to the costs and it was\n clear to the economists writing that paper that they came to the conclusion of 95 to one - compared to the benefits - and this is information that the Govt was writing itself.\n

But this information was eventually swept aside … and it only came out through an Official Information Act Inquiry.\n

Govt insiders are thankful that there is another point of view addressing the Official Narrative.\n

Simon also mentions that he has had some contact with people in Government and they are glad that they are hearing another point of view - because they\n are concerned that New Zealanders are in many ways only getting a one-sided story.

This was startling - the PCR test is only about 70% successful. Putting the swab up your nose.

That microbiologists had to battle the NZ Government from sending infectious patients being sent back to rest homes - this is a shocker …\n NOTE this was an important factor in NZ’s apparent success, in keeping infections at bay.\n

VACCINES

The frail and the elderly have never responded well to any vaccine.

That fast-tracking a vaccine still could take years - saying the Mumps vaccine was the fastest, being produced at 4 years.

That ultimately we will have to live with the virus - ultimately

Hydroxychloroquine - has had some good results, especially the latest Belgium study. But we still need more research. Yet, very recently\n seven States in the USA have given the OK for Doctors to use it.

This was a very exciting interview for me - because Simon had an understanding that was considered outside the conventional viewpoint. The only thing was\n that there was only a certain amount of time to cover these questions.

This 6 minute video gives us another insight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB0MEjHgkfM&feature=youtu.be\n

At that time human biology and the Schumann resonance for our planet was roughly 7.83cycles and all biota on earth were all in harmony. It was not until\n the Soviets put a man in space that cosmonauts and later astronauts had to have a little power pack attached to them running this frequency because\n if they are removed from this frequency of 7.83cycles - they will rapidly become very ill and eventually die.

So other than lightning and the Schumann resonance there was ‘nothing’ above this, so all the way up to invisible light there was ‘nothing’ and all was\n in harmony. But now we humans have almost completely ‘filled up’ all that ‘frequency’ range or space, with ‘artificial, mostly digital signals.’ Like\n being inside a ‘low powered’ microwave oven.

The Coming of Radiation

This all came about via the industrial revolution that leads to the so-called ‘enlightenment’ as we found the atom once again that the ancient Greeks had\n mentioned plus electricity and radio wireless and X rays etc and with it came the periodic table - the understanding of wavelengths and today we now\n have a multitude of ‘layered’ (ordered) frequencies all around us at present. This has resulted in many ways of an unrelenting (unknowing) technocratic\n industry that has built up, but especially over the last 30 years, with a ubiquitous global enterprise of using microwave radiation 24/7/365. However, what this rush has done is that it’s having a knock-on effect regarding health - to not only humans, our families, but to animals, and pets, plus birds, insects, and trees.

Where it all started with innocence and unknowingness - since the end of the Second World War certain scientific groups even within the world's militaries\n have realised that there are consequences. That in more recent times the commercialisation of these radio waves has meant that a great amount\n of money can be made from exploiting this ‘medium’ hence the ubiquitous mobile phones as just one of the new technologies that are on the global market\n these days.

Yet we are falling very short of ‘independent research’ done to find out the safety of this technology, however, Paul does tell us how the military took\n this tech to such a level that it was deemed by the US and allies to be the way forward using /national security’ as the reason to extract as much\n operability out of this expanding realm. He also says that the industry itself conducts its own safety standards and critics say that this is like\n having the fox guard the henhouse.

And the big question we need to ask … w is why not enough safety information in the public arena?

Electricity

He also mentions electricity which scientists do not have a full explanation as to what it is other than we can use it. Research the battle between DC\n - Direct Current that Edison used as against the - AC Alternating Current that Tesla brought to the world - that today powers every home basically\n on our planet. Yet, there is also such a thing as ‘dirty’ electricity and that is the radiation that it gives off - even in the average home today.\n Which is being ignored by the Electrical industry as well as Government and health officials.

Paul says in his days at school, he is 62 now and when he went to school hardly anyone was ill. Maybe a couple of kids would pull their inhaler out after\n a run around the paddock, that was it. Now he challenges us to go into any school in NZ and check out the health of those children - stating that there\n will in all probability be over 50% having an issue.

Dirty Electricity

Paul talks about a modern family home that he visited with various meters and found that it was overloaded with dirty electricity - that the two infants\n had been unknowingly living inside a wireless storm and were behaving erratically and waking up 3 to 4 times at night - even having video baby monitors.\n So after registering on his metres all the high amounts of radiation in the house they turned off the monitors and the power to the wifi and modem\n etc so that only the fridge was on at night etc - and within days the children became happy, healthy little infants. This shocked the parents - because\n they had no idea and this example is important no it is imperative for all parents to check out what is happening in our home and do it sooner than\n later. Following Building Biology and Ecology guidelines are important. Especially for building a safe home. (this was an abridged piece here. Clock\n radios emit radiation beside your bed etc. - Listen

Meanwhile academics and so-called scientists defer to archaic guidelines as well as with the deployment of 5G - they fall back on the WHO, the same organisation\n that is run by Dr Tedros with all its contentious connections etc, to Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates and all that is COVID.

ECO - The word has been misappropriated

The word eco in new buildings is being abused - it is more about economy than ecology. It's a star ratings system etc - = how can we save money - but doesn’t\n encompass health … (where are you at the NZ Green Party?) CFL light bulbs - compact fluorescent light bulbs have issues and now we have migrated\n onto LED lights - WARNING - not good for your health - as it does not give out a balanced spectrum of light. Do your own research\n ….’white’ is not a native colour for LED.

The human body is electrical - yes we are cellular, but we are also atomic and subatomic beings.

Humans are exceptionally electrical in our own bodies far much more than orthodox medical Doctors will be trained to understand or that the conventional\n medical system gives us credit for. (remember we are an energy field of atoms harmoniously oscillating in time and space in harmony with the Shumann\n resonance and this new technology of LED - is oscillating at exceptionally high frequencies - (you have to listen to this. These latest light bulb technologies are not good for your/our health

Paul says some people are more sensitive than others … But at a basic level - we are biological beings and that electricity is part of our makeup at a subatomic level - so we are all being affected.

It, gradually over time decreases our immunity system - it erodes our health and vitality … search GS meter Graham & Stetzer meters - check\n this out. https://www.stetzerelectric.com/store/microsurge-meter/

People especially in the Western world are becoming more unhealthier - earlier - hence the increase of people now becoming electro sensitive. Being able\n to pick up the wireless wavs wherever there is intense radio waves or computer usage etc.

Working in an office full of technology - can wear you out over time …. especially in a city office block

Saying - Sitting with a computer beside your desk and cables with your feet touching them - may be up to 10 or 20 or 30 volts - and that is very negative to your health - day in day out ….

Also mentioned.

Solar power comes in for questioning as the ‘inverters’ are the problem - there is a huge output of dirty electricity - you have to be\n awake to where your inverter is put. It is not biologically safe. Shield it or keep it away from the house.

Microwave ovens are toxic …. because the shear strength of the magnetron that is inside the unit -and then there is the poor shielding\n that is around it. (I, Tim have never owned a microwave oven.)

Mobile Phones

That now we have gone from 1G to 2G to 3G, 4G and going into 5G the tech corporations are becoming very clever and sophisticated as to how they pulse and\n modulate these frequencies … and they have had to do that to carry the increasing amount of data that they can now ’ship’ through the air waves\n - throughout busy cities, malls, sport and rock stadiums big events - where many people are intensely gathered - NOTE you/we are in the middle of it all.

So that the effect on our human biology is that the increased velocity of data - is becoming stronger and stronger and … even stronger - but worse and worse for the human inhabitants of this planet, not to mention flora and fauna and all biota inhabiting the biosphere.

Listen … that during the 2nd World War where radar played a huge part for the Allies in winning the war against the Nazis. It was when\n radar operators began to die due to the intensive frequencies that they were experimenting with.

But he said that this was not the first case of electro sensitivity as it all started in the 1890’s with the first case - when they started having telegraph\n along the railway lines that some of the telegraph operators began to become ill - Listen

Plus the old telephone exchanges where the operators connected all the calls by pulling and pushing in plugs to give the connection - they too were affected\n by electro sensitivity and became ill.

Unknown to Us

After the 2nd World War - the Russians said that this new technology of radar was quite harmful and they went one direction and the US went another way,\n with the Americans saying that military superiority was imperative, for both their communications and weapons. That unknown to you and I, there was\n quite a debate between both of these two countries ‘behind the scenes’ and even today the Russians standards are 100 x less than the Western standards\n - and China as well - which means their technologies in their countries are 100 times safer than what is being unleashed on the Western world. Which\n translates - that less is better for everyone's health, but we in the West are being ignored and overridden. Hence this radio program and all the 5G\n interviews are being done.

So that those two countries that are not known for good human rights have far more stringent safety guidelines for their own populations, than we in NZ and Australia - and the West have.

The Thermal Argument with 5G

Listen to how the heating or thermal effect was focussed on and never expanded upon - hence we have the fraught and cunningly employed idea that\n 5G only affects the skin - they based their standards on the ‘thermal effect’ on the largest organ of our body. Thus it has become dogma. That our\n NZ Govt and Health Department has totally bought into. (So it’s just not Covid)

You will have to listen as there is too much to convey.

The multi Governmental agency that overlooks this - note there are no Medical MD or biological professionals on these boards.

They are essentially all technocrats.

There are thousands and thousands of studies showing a biological effect - but all are being ignored.

In the US there have not been any in-depth studies of this issue for probably 30 to 40 years.

ICNIRP the International Commission For Non Ionising for Radiation Protection

- is a non elected old boy network - and is corrupt as they come. www.icnirp They are the insiders\n who make the rules

So now with a military standard, the US tech people have decided to make consumer devices - phones based on a military standard. Listen

In NZ the Building Biology and Ecology guidelines are slightly concerning at 10 microwatts per square meter and significant concern at\n 1,000 watts per square meter - but the NZ Government Standard is 10 million microwatts per square metre - so this is how much the NZ authorities care\n about New Zealanders health.

http://www.bbe.org.nz/

Testing of NZ Cell towers and in one instance in a residential area Paul got 200,000 microwatts per square meter. Saying - this is outrageous.

Listen to autism growing in the USA - 1970 about 1 in 10,000 and when it became more prevalent it became known as a rich white\n person's disease Then in the 1990s’ - about 1 in a thousand about 5 years ago it became one in 50 and it’s now trending to 1 on 25.

But, what has happened since that time is cellular networks and microwave radiation and wifi etc has massively expanded over the country listen …

To laptops - men and badly damaged sperm. Plus cell phones in men's trouser pockets Could this be the reason for the enormous increase\n in autism?

2020 hindsight is going to be too late for a lot of people … your choice … please network this to all your loved ones, family, and friends

The 4th Industrial Revolution

We are inside it now and it is ubiquitous

Listen and learn about the battle between the power companies and the Telcos - as to who is going to win the gateway to your home? This is fascinating

5G is not here yet - we are being conned - it's only 4 and 3/4 G but they are saying that it is 5G and it is safe - don’t be conned.

The current 4.3/4 system has increased from 5 megahertz to 100 megahertz yet cary 10 x more data - plus extreme fast speed - but there is only a certain amount of connections that they can facilitate per tower - so that means they are going to need a lot more towers in the street. Like 20 times.

Don’t allow trees to be cut down in the cities and towns in NZ

THIS MILLIMETRE WAVE TECHNOLOGY IS 100% unproven to be safe.

The military is using 5G as a doorway to crowd control systems and as a weapon.

This is a new technology and satellites are going to be beaming down millimetre waves too.

The Bio Initiative Report - Paul says is good https://bioinitiative.org/whats-new/

Since this interview that took place on Monday 31st, we find that the CDC, the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention in the US have now stated that only 6% of US deaths have been from COVID19 alone. The other 94% had at least one other health issue at the time (or more) then along came the coronavirus that led to their death. This was basically due to their now weakened - immune system.

This fact has been known to many people like ‘silenced' frontline doctors and activists for some time now - but denied or censored by omission by MSM, hence the uproar today - as to question how large is this coverup by the so-called health ‘authorities?’

Tim covers this subject a little more at the end of this interview where he adds to this narrative.

With regard to this Interview:

It’s obvious that everything to do with vaccines, in particular, is difficult for all doctors - globally. The reason being is Big Pharma - as it controls\n both Medicine and Doctors, especially if they speak out on issues, specifically with alternatives or doubts. This is when the ‘controlled' Medical\n Association' will instantly 'strike Doctors off' from practising if they dare to question.

But … ironically the Russian/Putin vaccination is getting widespread condemnation and scepticism because it has been rolled out so early.

Note the majority of people that Dr Kelly meets, would be happy with a ‘safe' vaccine. They simply are not convinced by a rapid roll-out under Bill Gates\"\n - no difference from distrusting Putin. A ‘clean' vaccine with no embryo remnants or nanoparticles is what is required.

Masks - Dr Fauci in the USA. First, health officials said we shouldn't wear face masks.\n Now, many are saying we must wear masks if we want to protect the economy, reopen the country etc … Mixed\n messaging for the global public?

Hydroxychloroquine & Zinc. The video touting Hydroxychloroquine as an effective treatment for patients infected with COVID-19 quickly\n went viral, gathering over 15 million views on Facebook alone. YouTube took it down and NZ authorities do not call for it to be used - even though\n it has been around for 60 years. Donald Trump took it at the start of the crisis and you can see him at news conferences with Dr Fauci and others standing\n beside him all wearing masks. What gives? Do your own research.

The Media - we have media news interspersed by openly deceptive advertising about all sorts of things. So the narrative is we are presented\n by fact/lie/fact lie. For example - NZer Sir Ernest Rutherford, who split the atom, is now lip-synching his approval of 5G. Our media is also dependent\n on advertising which is Machiavellian. When is TV lying - when is it telling the truth?

Questioning the Media?

The idea of open honest media is that because of the impositions on our lives and livelihood, we need our state broadcaster TVONE, TV3 and Radio NZ to\n produce a daily 2 hourly advertisement free, balanced debate on the pros and cons of lockdown, the pros and cons of the Great Reset, the pros and cons\n of mandatory vaccination - not crappy dating reality TV, etc.

We need to trust the public to make up their own minds armed with balanced information. In fact, if 'mainstream media' is to survive it must do this and\n not whinge about people getting their information from social media.

Media experts need to be retired from comments after 2 months - the reason being they tend to defend their original statements whether right or wrong.\n This is not healthy.

Media experts need to declare their conflicts of interest. This is exceptionally important.

Big Tech is now completely entwined with tertiary education and of course all mainstream media.

MSM is the propaganda wing of big tech (and big pharma.) The corruption has become ‘normalised' in NZ.

Big tech is completely entwined with the Royal Society, Callaghan Innovation, MacDiarmid Institute, and all Universities and media outlets. Deals with\n Huawei, etc have happened and the repercussions have yet to become obvious.

The Crown Entity status of Callaghan Innovation - a Govt/big tech collaboration. No matter which party is in, has to be far more transparent.

The planned Elon Musk brain implants without any knowledge of how the brain works have to be questioned. The theory that consciousness is an epiphenomenon\n of the brain - rather than the Hameroff /Penrose theory that our brain microtubules are foundries where the quantum world collapses - I.e we are filters\n of consciousness.

That by encircling the world with 100k satellites - and 5G - when we now know there is a circulating world microbiome in the troposphere.

How viruses and all life have coexisted for billions of years. How they are vital for life and integrated into our DNA. Mammals would reject their off-spring\n without placental retroviruses. This hits at the military narrative 'let's eliminate the virus'...the virus is bad, we are good etc.

Human unknowingness

So all this adds up to human arrogance - advancing while denying their ignorance. Ignorance of the workings of the brain, the lack of realisation of the\n interconnectedness of all things, the microbiome, Schumann resonances etc.

Selectively using the precautionary principle only when politically and financially advantageous - i.e why lockdown but no caution with 5G?

The State imposition and control of the patient/doctor relationship - and overriding of Doctors years of experience and clinical knowingness plus the doctors'\n duty of care when treating the individuality of the patient.

Metaphysical Understandings?

The last few moments of this interview opens up to extend into the holistic notion of soul and spirituality and that this COVID crisis - has through all\n manner of means, compelled people to question their very existence and why are they a human and living on this planet surrounded by time and space.\n That … at the very core of our being 'we can visualise our inner candle' that illuminates us to expound on the idea 'we are spiritual beings\n having an earth experience.' Worth pondering?

At the end of this enjoyable interview, Tim adds a little more about Senator Scott Jensen

MD - of Minnesota, who went to social media saying that COVID death numbers have been totally exaggerated especially for the elderly as these people were\n already suffering from other comorbidity ailments, such as heart problems and cancer etc and were in many cases near death. Yet, they were classified\n as dying of Covid.

Please note it is now very difficult to find the full video statement he made as Youtube and Twitter may have taken it down. Make sure that you follow\n this up, as he has since been censured by the Medical Authorities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIXeeO3hh-E

That in their thousands they are being launched into low earth orbit and particularly over Australia and New Zealand, why the hurry and this continuing\n question ‘where is the independent health research?’

This was one of the most revealing yet shocking interviews that I have engaged in.

I talk with barrister Ray Broomhall from Tasmania, who is part of a group of 14 lawyers Australia wide. They have voluntarily come together to educate\n the Australian public to the 5G ‘health dangers’ and also to advise them of a way forward to halt 5G towers and then bring a stop to this 5G deployment\n across their whole country. That not until ‘independent research and studies’ give this technology a clean bill of health.

NZ is also experiencing this same 'imposed' roll out of the global 5G network - with Government, Media and Telcos all in lockstep, to deploy it across\n the country.

Tim mentions that he had just come off the phone after speaking with Steffan Browning Ex Green MP who 'by chance' early one evening very recently happened\n to witness up in the early evening sky the deployment of a whole number of satellites and at first he was in awe of them as he gazed at this spectacle\n - and then he went into shock and realised that this was a violation and that this was not right - and so I asked Ray about this procedure of having\n 40,000 more satellites in near earth orbit constantly raking us with their wireless frequencies.

Ray says that Elon Musk is connected to even another company and he has just got approval from the International Communications Union as there was a world\n radio communications conference in Egypt last November in 2019. That NZ and Australia were party to this conference - and all agreed that Elon Musk\n now had approval to operate at the 60 gigahertz band. Which basically means it is a Free license type of arrangement where at the moment for wifi in\n homes - you can have it at 2.4 - out to 5 gigahertz - and the authorities have now increased it to the new wavelength band to 60 gigahertz.

You will find that all smart technology will now have chips in them which will compliment the 50 gigahertz frequency that satellites will operate at. And\n you will find that wifi modems and mobile phones, laptops etc will be operating at 60 gigahertz as well. However Ray believes that Musk is actually\n going to add another 20,000 satellites and increase it to 60,000 in total.

Tim mentions 'they' are using the 'global commons' which is the upper reaches of the atmosphere to do what they are doing - but they have not got permission\n from both myself and Ray so how do they get this license to be able to 'overrule' the people down here on the surface of the earth?

Ray says this is what people do not realise, that there is legislation - particularly in NZ as we have the 'Outer Space and the High Altitude Activities\n Act of 2017 - which he says provided some sort of reassurance for NZ in regards to not only satellites but also in regard to high altitude platform\n stations and he say that listeners need to know that there is more than just satellites that are a concern - up in the heavens so to speak.

There is a thing called high altitude platform stations or HAPS or High Altitude Pseudo Satellites. These are not actually satellites as such but they\n are actually drones - which are about 80 metres in length - they fly around the 20 kilometre altitude mark in the stratosphere - so they are well above\n the clouds - they are solar powered but they are designed as part of the 5G roll out with all these 40,000 new Elon Musk satellites.

What they do is that they are each the equivalent to 1,800 towers and they operate in a 200 kilometres radius (and our Government and especially the 4th\n Estate our media TV, Radio and Newspapers in NZ are exceptionally quiet about sharing this critical information.) (No surprises here).\n
\n
They are actually launching them from Australia from a base in Wyndham as well as from Hawaii and he says the corporations are 'rushing' to put up\n these high altitude platforms and that every 200 kilometres there is going to be one of these circling up in the air and they remain for about 3 months\n up there - then they are replaced with another. Whilst they then come down and land - get overhauled and revamped ready for the next assignment.

So it’s More than just Satellites

They are going to be operating at a whole conglomerate of frequencies - both high and low - from the one signal - from 60 gigahertz all the way down to\n your mobile phones etc like 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G - all combined - but not only sending data - but wireless power transfer as well. He says listeners need\n to know what this means. He says that in essence they are sending electrical energy down from these high altitude platforms ... so that our phones\n will not need to be plugged into the wall to be powered up. They will be charged automatically - by the airwaves - the electricity - like autonomous\n vehicles, plus other devices in your home thus eliminating power cords to the wall. Everything is eventually going to be powered, via the air.

So 5G is far more than what people realise. Our phones are going to be transmitters and receivers - and our modems meshed into the network that will be\n totally integrated into all the small transmitters on power poles outside on your street across all towns and cities - they will be ubiquitous - and\n basically the whole atmospheric envelope that envelops our planet will be one vast electronic 'cloud' of electronic data pulsing at increasing frequencies\n ...all at the same time - they will also be integrated into the macro system of the larger towers that we see dotted everywhere which he says they\n are erecting them in the thousands at the moment. So with overhead platforms and in a higher orbit satellites - this is all part of one integral unit\n - this is what 5G portends

So where is mother nature in all of this?

He encourages you to do your own research.

Ray mentions that the WHO in 2002 in a report on Microwaves and cancer said that Children should not be exposed to anything over .3 of a micro Tesla.

Now this is a magnetic field (we are surrounded by one of many).

Especially anything over.3 of a micro Tesla becomes problematic.

Listen to this broadcast as it is imperative that you make the effort - especially if you love your children and what could cause lymphatic leukemia.

Some mobile phones operate at 6,200 micro Tesla’s - then things become very serious.

So there is a huge disconnect between what the WHO says and what is being put into children's homes.

The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency\n
ARPANSA in Australia is the regulatory authority that NZ is part of in regards to standards. https://www.arpansa.gov.au/about-us

Listen to the conundrum of different standards between ICNIRP the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Icnirp.org - that Basically says that 100 micro Tesla is the public safety standard BUT ONLY FOR SHORT TERM effects.

For long term effects the WHO recommends .3 of a micro Tesla - so there is a real problem here.

Yet in Australia and here in NZ, ARPANSA are following the ICNERP thus it's an issue here in relation to long term exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

That Ray's concern with his clients and his colleagues clients, is the huge exposure issue.

Oxygen depletion at 60 gigahertz - stating that when one gets exposed to 60 gigahertz research states it depletes 98% of the oxygen that it irradiates\n into - which is a real concern. Saying this is not a conspiracy theory and that dormant viruses are activated by electromagnetic radiation.

For Example: The Epstein Barr virus is asleep in all of us and when it's exposed to non ionizing radiation - he says it becomes activated. Epstein Barr\n virus is 'herpes.'

He mentions vaccinations that the antibodies etc for vaccinations are made in animal embryos rabbits, chickens, rats, monkeys etc and if there is a latent\n virus possibly inside these tissues - in the vaccination, that is how it could possibly be transferred to humans. Plus we can see that the electro\n radiation can activate dormant viruses - and he is not suggesting that this happened in Covid - but there is a real concern that by exposing the planet\n and everybody to this radiation - that there could be more repercussions.

Listen. Wireless Towers in Australia - Doctors are now coming to the conclusion that these impose an extreme risk of harm to health and ARPANSA are aware\n of this...

That the Telco industry is following ARPANSA and are failing to listen to the medical practitioners and Doctors are saying that if people are exposed to\n this radiation. This is becoming a serious issue. Especially with regard to leukemia.

NOTE: There is not one medical practitioner that sits on the ARPANSA board.

They have a disclaimer - do a search and type up ‘ARPANSA disclaimer’ - you will find it says very clearly - that it is not set up to give health advice\n on electromagnetic radiation and non ionising bands etc - you best go see your qualified medical practitioner. They state it is only for educational\n purposes - ONLY.

Telecos - Being Held Up for Assault?

There is a Harassment Act 1997 here in NZ.

In Queensland the Law simply classifies that any person who applies force against another without that person's consent - that it's classified as assault.

In Qld applied force includes heat, light, electrical energy in any other substance or thing. So Ray says any electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic\n energy comes under that interpretation/criteria

So technically that can be classed as assault.

YOU can get restraint orders against Telcos ...

Listen how doctors in Australia are using common sense mechanisms that are actually in place.

Check out Doctor Bruce Hocking … in an ARPANSA document.

Hear Ray talk on the brain's synapse activity can occur at 0.75 volts per metre.

Nerves can be effected at 6 volts and that the heart can be affected at 12 volts and be a serious health issue\n
\n
You just have to Listen to this interview to grasp both the seriousness and the scope.

What To Do

Go to your doctor and make a statement. If concerned about self and children re exposure from this tower etc then ask the doctor to assess the situation\n and come to conclusion.

Ray says Doctors has stopped towers in their tracks

Listen to a case of 8 doctors who happened to be living in one street in Australia that were opposed to 5G - they had a community meeting with neighbours\n with 13 doctors attending in all - saying No - and they got the tower removed.

Ended up that Telco stopped the deployment of 2,500 small cells installations across Australia Physicians for Safe Technology https://mdsafetech.org/

Have a peruse of their site.

Leukaemia is a big problem. Do your own research.

There are 250 different FB groups in Australia, discussing the deployment of 5G

Ray said that we need to Exercise the Precautionary Principle and have a Moratorium until independent research gives a 100% assurance that 5G is safe.\n (which presently, it is not).

Go to your Local Council especially in towns and small cities and educate them.

In Australia now forming a political party called NO 5G.

Regarding Satellites passing overhead insurance is needed for rockets leaving and also deploying satellites.

Listen to the last closing minutes of this video about insurance costs in space.

This was one of the most riveting interviews I have done on technology and the imposition of it on the human race.

We have to become really aware that technology does not need nature to work. You can see that on the Moon and Mars. However, we are all born of nature\n and that all biota within the biosphere require a balanced healthy ecology and environment for the web of life to homeostatically flourish and continue.

This is an exceptionally important interview for the health of the human race and all precious life on our planet.

He says, “In my lectures I will present the current scientific knowledge as well as the current lack of scientific research on the biological and health\n effects of the 5G millimeter-waves. I will also present the evidence, and the reasoning, for the invocation of the Precautionary Principle and for\n the temporary moratorium on 5G deployment, while awaiting for the much needed scientific research on millimeter-waves.” \n
\n

Dr. Dariusz Leszczynski, PhD, DSc is Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry, Division of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Finland.

He says: “I am scientist with keen interest in molecular biology research, or work as an expert/consultant, or as journal/book editor. Thanks to my age\n and working in universities around the world, I have a very broad experience in scientific research, in science publishing and in dissemination of\n scientific information to expert and lay-person audiences.”

Dr. Leszczynski, who researches non-ionizing radiation, emphasizes that, “there is a continuous talk about assuring that the 5G maintains low levels of\n EMF exposure. However, there is not sufficient scientific research to show that low levels assure no health effects in short- and long-term exposures\n (acute and chronic exposures). It seems that the telecom industry assumes that their low level exposures will not cause- ever -any health effects and\n the telecom industry forcefully imposes this scientifically unsupported assumption on others, especially governmental decision-makers.”

Dr. Leszczynski says there is an urgent need to start research studies examining effects of millimeter-waves on human health. However, there is a strong\n resistance from the telecom industry and from the decision-makers to start new research programs. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation\n Protection (ICNIRP), and the telecom industry, strongly propagate the idea that the low power of EMF emissions from the 5G devices will guarantee that\n human health will not be affected.

However, the same assurances were made in the 70’s when the first generation of cell phones was commercialized, followed by the unlimited spread of the\n 2G, 3G and 4G devices – as long as the device emits radiation within the ICNIRP guidelines it is considered as safe, which is not necessarily the case\n as shown by a number of research studies. As a direct consequence of the scientific research, in 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer\n classified radiation emitted by the cell phones and cell towers as a possible human carcinogen. This classification appears to be strengthened by the\n new research studies on 3G and 4G-emitted EMF published after 2011. However, what the biomedical research on millimeter-waves, performed in the future,\n will show is a complete enigma.

Why hasn’t the media taken this up and warned us all? Dr. Leszczynski explained that in many cases new outlets rely on Telecom businesses to advertise\n with them and so it could be a financial hit if they spoke out against these companies. He also explained that the media is reluctant to be seen as\n scaremongering and looking like tin foil hat wearers. The same probably goes for universities and tertiary institutions relative silence on this.

I asked the professor what the difference between 4G and 5G were. He explained that 5g builds on 4G but then includes millimetre waves that are much shorter\n and higher energy waves. While they can carry more information, their range is less and they are easily blocked by buildings and trees etc, therefore\n requiring more transmitters at closer proximity.

I asked about the effect on trees and it appears to be inconclusive, but certainly it is possible that trees could suffer damage from the energy from cell\n phone towers.

Again, not enough experiments have been carried out and we rely on anecdotal evidence.

It is the same with bees. Dr. Leszczynski said there was a study done in Belgium that showed that the millimetre waves caused increased temperatures in\n bees, which could cause problems with bee behaviour, such as losing the way back to their hives, but there needs to be more study.

No matter what the future research will show, 5G technology will be by then fully deployed and without any possibility of reverse because the whole future\n life of humanity will be based and dependent on the functioning of the 5G radiation-emitting devices. He says, “This is a unique situation in the history\n of the human kind when the whole human population will be exposed to man-made devices emitting non-ionizing radiation that was insufficiently tested\n before deployment. What is and what will be the responsibility of the scientists, decision-makers and industry leaders who permit deployment of insufficiently\n tested technology that will affect us all? The answer is simple – no responsibility… because if any health problems will show up in the future,\n these will most likely take tens of years of time to manifest and, by then the persons that currently enable deployment of insufficiently tested radiation-emitting\n 5G technology will be retired or the proverbial “six feet under”.”

What would Dr. Leszcynski say to the government?

*The IARC classification of RF-EMF as possible carcinogen is sufficient to trigger consideration of the Precautionary Principle.

*Recommendations concerning RF-EMF and health effects should be based on science. However, many committees (SCENIHR, ICNIRP, WHO, HPA, SSI) simply disregard\n evidence of effects from epidemiological case-control studies and animal studies and say that the effects are not seen in scientific studies. Such\n statements disregard the evidence at hand.

*General public, decision makers and scientists at large have no idea what are the “criteria” used by these committees to dismiss the positive studies\n because, description of these “criteria”, is not provided.

What would Dr. Leszcynski advise the government to do?

The Precautionary Principle should be used for RF-EMF and should include, among others:

*Stop saying that there are no established non-thermal effect - if cancer risk increases in epidemiological studies it indicates that non-thermal effects\n happen.

*Strengthen the safety standards; change them to reflect the current scientific evidence, showing the possibility of health effects.

*Protect the children – applies to cell phone use; not so much cell towers.

*Develop better technologies that emit less radiation. Reduce exposures of general population by making health agencies to advise people to do so.

Nelson lawyer Sue Grey specialises in complex emerging issues and is coordinating Professor Leszczynski's national lecture tour. She says \"The rollout\n of 5G has been planned without any public consultation. As people become aware of international health and safety, environmental and security concerns\n with 5G they have many questions.

We are extremely lucky to have a world expert of Professor Leszczynsk's stature sharing his expertise with us. In addition to his public talks, the Ministers\n of Health, Environment and Communication and their advisors have been invited to a private meeting with Professor Leszczynski so they can be better\n informed when they make decisions on behalf of the New Zealand public.\"

The visit has been crowd-funded by generous contributions from citizens.

NB – since Sue Grey wrote this the Ministers of Health, Environment and Communications have all declined to meet with Professor Leszczynski.

It is becoming obvious that there is no recent ‘independent’ research coming out giving 5G technology - a clean bill of health. That undue health effects\n could arise from increased wireless frequencies have not been allayed. Meanwhile, having a little more time on their hands Grandparents across NZ are\n showing more interest in this recent technology and they are researching as to what 5G might portend.

Why have there been no ‘independent’ health tests completed on 5G wireless technologies? That due to the NZ Government not requiring evidence of such tests,\n many of the NZ public are becoming concerned. Yet, highly qualified independent overseas scientists are saying that this new fifth generation technology\n ‘ups the frequencies’ markedly. So where is the research for its safety and veracity?

In the meantime the elders, the older generation, who over their lifetime of experience and disappointment at the ethics or lack of them within both Government\n and industry are rallying for the future of their children and grandchildren. As it is not only a health risk to humans, but also to pets, insects,\n especially bees as well as vegetation and trees in your garden and neighbourhood. The whole ecosphere could be unduly affected.

As a result New Zealanders are asking where is the evidence for its safety. There are also more doctors than usual speaking out, as we hear in this interview\n of Sue Grey a lawyer and specialist in emerging issues and Dr Robin Kelly a General Medical Practitioner who is seeing more patients who are in some\n way being affected by these emerging technologies.

So why is it when new technologies are invented and new substances are formulated that in so many cases, there is no Law that states that these have to\n be independently tested and seen to be safe for the public to either use or be safe around.

With the steady increase in telephone frequencies from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation until the one we have now the 4th - these have been seen to be relatively\n

benign - however the game has changed markedly now as 5G breaks through a new threshold and this is where the frequencies become more intense.

Imposed Upon

Sue says 5G is being imposed on us without any explanation being given to the public when it is only assumed that it is safe - when the evidence is that\n it is not safe. Why are we not able to see this evidence published in MSM? Why are they so coy in keeping this information under wraps?

Yet Safe, Fast Fibre-optics is being laid out across the Nation.

That a little over two years ago the Government spent $2 billion for laying out a safe fibre optic cable system that has multiple high speed uses - and\n now they are imposing upon us 5G with so many unknown influences - that are virtually all not understood - or even known about?

Robin, said when he started as a Doctor he was told that the most important person is the one in front of you. That we should study all the science in\n the world and then adapt that to the person in front. We are not working for a third party - we are actually working on that one person in front of\n us.

This also means being an advocate for caution - which comes from the perspective, he had drummed into him early when a student Hippocrates statement that\n said - ‘first do no harm.’ Which is the cornerstone of primary care practice.

But also to really examine, not only the science - but who is telling us the science - what is the motive behind those scientists and what is the funding\n behind those scientists as well?

Because over the last 20 years numerous senior editors of science journals have been increasingly stating their concerns about ‘conflicts of interest’\n as many scientific papers may have big money and other ‘vested’ interests quietly pushing - in the background.

As a result, Robin is now very cautious when reading and assessing this information - and in particular the motives for such new medications and drugs\n and also technologies being ‘rapidly brought to market.’

Electro Hypersensitivity.

He has also seen an increase of people experiencing electro hypersensitivity to many things electrical. For example offices full of computers and linked\n technologies many of them wireless - so he understand that certain people become stressed or suffer headaches etc.

Lack of Informed Consent?

Sue also mentions that there is a serious issue about the lack of informed consent even around trees being felled throughout the neighbourhood to facilitate\n wireless signals getting through without hindrance.

Usurping Nature?

Robin - explains that for the modern day human - nature is our healer - walks, rests, stress release - is the best form of healing our being. He sees time\n out in nature as our rehabilitation, but now he says there is a different ‘counter culture’ coming directly across our society, the complete opposite\n of natural wellness and well being that essentially says ‘eliminate nature and instead, live in an electro magnetic virtual reality.’

Feeding our Addictions?

Which is essentially saying - let us feed your addictions, plus let’s feed your dependence on technology to such an extent that you are going to do 5G\n at the expense of your health.

And as a doctor he finds this idea quite disturbing … stating he is not saying no technology, like most of us he likes technology too, but …\n it has gone out of balance completely. For example nuclear weapons. To the point that it is affecting the health of our young people - and it is influencing\n younger and younger children.

Children First

He says there are many very concerned physicians around the world who are advocates for children first and this is one of the drivers for his advocacy.

Sue says that science appears to be putting robots before people.

As people we have feelings and needs and we want to be able to choose certain outcomes in our life and not be classified as units of currency - as a convenience\n for people who want to make money from us. Yet, our whole system seems to be being driven down this path.

That it’s only those with the money who can choose and it doesn’t really matter what people want and it is not really surprising that more and more people\n are experiencing mental health and anxiety problems and she says it is really concerning …

Living in an Airport Security Area 24/7

Tim chimes in saying that airport security systems are an example of intense radiation.

Note that workers at these stations only are in these concentrated radiation fields for 8 or so hours a day - but whole cities and towns will be immersed\n in them 24/7/365 - where everyone is saturated in non ionising radiation. This includes insects, birds, pets and vegetation.

Our Bodies Are Already Under Intense Stress.

That our body systems are already close to tipping points - all variety of things are loading our immune system. Mental health - of worry, unresolved grief,\n chemical toxins, emotional toxins … are cause for concern - as our ‘free NZ health’ system is already overloaded.

Accumulating Over Time

It’s a slow but steady accumulative assault on our immune system and our unique human body and the ‘wireless field’ is becoming more extreme and Robin\n says that when someone tips over through all manner of accruing circumstances - then comes the denial from the status quo - who will say - well it\n has nothing to do with us … it’s to do with some other problem in their lives … - however it is to do with all of that - and everything\n has to be looked at in total. Yet, so many people will be running for cover - as people become more unwell and sick. However - the medical drug industry\n may actually be there to alleviate whatever ails them - as he says, that once deployed this wireless technology will become a tipping point (into deteriorating\n health) for many, many people.

The Law Society wanting to understand ‘causes’ in relation to the Law of the land.

The Law Society Sue says, always looks at causes so as to get a greater understanding of Law. But, with so many inputs that have invisible energies - it\n is extremely difficult to pin, say a disease to any one particular technology or situation.

In ill health what are the technologies that may have caused your tipping point health collapse? Your cell phone? The cell towers outside your home - or\n the smart meter outside your bedroom or a number of computers in your office … or a combination of all those things - that coincidentally ties\n in with your dog dying last week. Or all the different factors that are going on.

And the Law just cannot cope with that at all.

We need a whole new system of assessing risk - and science too is not very good at assessing risk either. As it was not designed to assess risk. It was\n designed to helping develop hypothesis’s as to how things worked.

And like the Law, it has it’s limitations - (Nikola Tesla) “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade\n than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

But we are not doing the research!

No Insurance Payouts?

Lloyds of London and the big reinsurers have stated that they will not pay out in the case of health problems as a result of 5G technologies. As the risk\n is far too big to quantify and assess. This has to be a wake-up call for the community at large.

Then Sue says if this is the case with the big insurers - why has the Government not come to this same conclusion?

In NZ because of the ACC law (Accident Compensation Commision) we can not sue our telco phone company - or the company who has a cell phone tower outside\n our window. Listen

But ACC doesn’t seem interested in checking this out so as to make sure they are not liable either!

Doctors, who take on this profession in most cases do so because they have an affinity to want to care and endeavour to stop something happening before\n it happens.

After studying this for a number of years - Robins is now concerned about the accumulative affects over the years … of increasing radiation. He\n says 5G will ramp everything up, however prior to 5G coming we are already experiencing damage - when we see the accumulated effects on health.

Acting Minister of Health Julie Anne Genter of the Green Party, comes in for not wanting to look at the health effects, especially on children and the\n unborn etc - she essentially washes her hands of the subject of 5G as just a new application of radio technology. Listen

Sue says we have to stop now with a ‘moratorium’ until we have proof that it’s safe - as against rolling out until is is proved harmful.

Advisors telling the NZ Ministers - in many ways are controlling the narrative and withholding information - by … omission.

What comes over in this interview is that Government advisers seem to be following an agenda to roll out 5G and not acting in the public interests and\n protecting fairly the community that they are supposed to be acting for.

Other subjects covered:

In Cypress there is a committee on environment and children’s health Listen

They are taking wifi away from pre schoolers as well as taking wifi out of children’s hospitals.

Ericsson, the telecom giant’s future vision is a $76 billion dollar industry based on health surveillance - and everyone in their game will be on tap 24/7/365\n - and your data will be accessed continually - every cell will be identified, plus every fright that you get from reading information like this - will\n register as a racing heart on their computer systems somewhere overseas - even whilst you hide under your bed.

MSM = Main Stream Media - are now the tech industry - moulding minds with images and flash graphics now being a propaganda arm.

Laws in NZ need to be enacted to put onus on corporations deploying technologies and substances.

Why is the burden always forced upon the public when new technologies etc are introduced into the environment?

Why is not the proof of health and safety enforced by law on those deploying new tech and or substances ?

Let's see it is safe until it is proven to be dangerous is a farce … Cigarettes, asbestos, thalidomide, has caused so much harm, yet we the people\n have failed to vote in people as politicians to safeguard the public interest.

It is all back to front - putting the burden on the public. It has to be they who have to prove through an independent authority that their technology\n and substances are safe.

The EPA Environmental Protection Authority in NZ have abandoned their post … Why is the Environmental Protection Agency not protecting the environment?\n - why is the Ministry of Health not protecting our health?

The NZ Health Act 1956. When you search up the function\n of the Ministry in relationship to public health and this shows you in Section A … ‘the Ministry shall have the function of improving, promoting\n and protecting public health’.

Why is the NZ Health Department not ‘protecting public Health?’

The fact is that we the people have lost control of our Government Agencies.

Robin says that there is a lack of unity of head and heart.

Artificial intelligence - is just that - it is Artificial and we have to recognise it is not real and will not be in our best interests as it does not\n have a duty of care.

That we have to stand up and say things Now …

What about the younger generation? how are they going to negotiate this technological electronic zone - especially with increasing suicides?

Dr Mary Redmayne in Wellington PhD completed her thesis on youth - intermediate age children and mobile phones. She was horrified by the amount of exposure\n they were receiving Listen - re, brain tumours.

Also a recent 5G talk she gave.\n
https://www.5g.org.nz/2019/07/23/dr-mary-redmayne-to-speak-in-christchurch-on-raising-healthy-children-in-the-screenage-on-august-9/

Not covered in this interview is once 5G is established globally there are to be 20,000 geostationary satellites put up in orbit to then beam down to our\n planet radiation to microwave all sentient life with data - this is so insane that it has to be halted.

We learn that all children born after the year 2,000 are called ‘digital natives’ - yet what is their future to be?

Sue - mentions that Midwives could talk to Mums to advise them of the challenges ahead.

This is a very important radio interview for NZers to listen and share ...

Share, share, share and lobby the NZ Government for a Moratorium - thank you.

Groups of people are organising across the country to have the discussion that the Teleco's are not prepared to have. This is especially to do with health.

Recently groups have sprung up in Albany, Waiheke Island, Mangawhai, Torbay, West Auckland - Coromandel, Tauranga, Wanganui, Wellington, Nelson, and the\n Golden Bay/Takaka area so there is a grassroots movement spreading like mushrooms - because inherently there is a distrust of corporates, world wide\n as well as a reticence to believe in what our Governments are saying and not necessarily doing. Just now we have Whangarei, Warkworth and Little River, in Banks Peninsula.\n

The Controversy

Sue was originally involved in researching 4G telephone wireless networks and that there was wifi very near to schools. Also, that telephone towers were\n placed close to play centres - like in one case 5 metres away and that the 'standards for this technology are written by the ‘corporates' who produce\n this technology.\n

She also researched how the standards are enforced - about the NZ Government Advisory Committee and that if you are concerned about the harm - you are\n not allowed on the Government Advisory Committee.

5G Technology

5G radio waves are very short but very intense radio waves - and there is yet, not enough health data to support the safety of this technology.

There is also the deployment of telephone towers dispersed at around 100 meters distance from each other - especially in major built up areas like the\n inner city - but also across the suburbs and residential areas. Where our children spend most of their lives, including biota - pets, cats and dogs\n as well as flora - trees and shrubs.

But, we as a community have not been asked if we agree to having the close proximity of these towers to our homes. What Sue questions is, where is the\n public dialogue around this, when did the Teleco's engage us to ask us for our permission?

It's like Spark and Vodafone and the NZ Government are all ready to roll this technology out and we the community are still waiting to have the conversation\n as to its safety. Where is the engagement with the localised community?

The ‘Precautionary Principle’

Scientific Experts who are 'independent' who are not profiting from this 5G tech are realising that there are some serious deficiencies in the actual technology\n that is being ‘sold’ to us - as well as the process as to how we should approach this ‘new’ technology.

The ‘Precautionary Principle’ is not being adhered to - in the rush to get this technology out into the marketplace.

Why the Hyped Up Rush to Roll 5G Out?

As of this moment - if 5G was not rolled out for another year or two - how many people would it really affect? Would it affect you and your family? Would\n the world come to an end? Lets dwell on this, if we waited another year or two to really get clarity to its safety, would this not be prudent? Especially\n as we already see so many children suffering from health effects, that doctors can not diagnose as to what is the source.

Should we not also add to this a question around the decline in bee numbers? (The canaries in the coal mine?)

Sales over Civilisation?

The hype that big business is salivating over is driverless cars - well take one look at the coagulated motorways into and out of Auckland at rush hour\n every day - what's the urgency of a driverless car or wanting to download a movie or a video game into our smart phone in 10 seconds ...?

Really, is this where the narrative is going - that ‘we have to have it now’ and get it ‘whilst it is hot?’ If this is the general consensus - then we\n have to realise that the term 'conscious' choices will never prevail, as we as a civilisation lose our moral compass in a race to the bottom.

The Time lag of Learning the Pros and Cons

People who have been alive for 50 years or longer will realise that ‘old NZ’ - was a country where there was a closer relationship between neighbours and\n community. That we once had politicians who we could approach and genuinely converse with. Political parties had ‘Manifestos” - which they produced\n prior to an election and that they would follow or do their best to adhere to.

Now-a-days it’s ‘ad hoc’ everything and intentions are thrown out the window as politicians 'make up policy on the fly' and they trust that because the\n world is moving at such a rapid pace that any flak or faux pas will have its 5 minutes in the headlines - to then be subsumed by more outrageous news\n to be quickly forgotten by the public - by the next election.

With the Corporate Agenda interlocking with Government, as the premise of the eroding of public confidence - we are finding that there is no real intent\n to educate the public on this global 5G issue. We are being subjected to glitzy advertising - telling us how much better the world is going to be with\n slick computer graphics and yet, all these videos do not show anything of nature - no trees, flowers or pastures green. (see Spark) - Because they\n are all being commissioned by head trippers who are controlling the narrative to buy into 5G.

Grass Roots Awakening across NZ

However - across NZ there are concerned people who are aware of the problems that 5G may carry with it. Groups of people are organising to have the discussion\n that Teleco's will not have.

Such as recently in Albany, Waiheke Island, Mangawhai, Torbay, West Auckland - Coromandel, Tauranga, Wanganui, Wellington, Nelson, and the Golden Bay/Takaka\n area that there is a grassroots movement spreading like mushrooms - because inherently there is a distrust of corporations worldwide as well as a reticence\n to believe in what our Governments are saying and not necessarily doing or ... vice versa.

Global 5G Awakening

This grass roots uprising is happening overseas and at this stage it is in Brussels the seat of the EU Governmental Centre which has come out for a moratorium.\n But, Mill Valley in California is calling for a halt - Byron Bay in Australia is making a lot of noise and in Switzerland one of the Cantons has dug\n in and said stop.

There are many other places, such as in Italy, Florence is pushing for the Precautionary Principle and the Rome district wants to follow suit. Even in\n Russia the Defence Ministry has acknowledged 5G’s problems.

However, as MSM - ‘mainstream media’ (along with Google) is all pro 5G - it is extremely difficult to get a full coverage of how many regions of all the\n world’s countries are involved in pushing back.

The Minister of the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region, Céline Fremault, has vowed to halt 5G deployment. “The people of Brussels are not guinea\n pigs whose health I can sell at a profit,” states Fremault in an interview with L’Echo. “I cannot welcome such technology if the radiation standards,\n which must protect the citizen, are not respected, 5G or not.”

Brussels halts 5G deployment indefinitely:\n 5G project, says authorities, not compatible with radiation safety standards.

How Citizens Can Organise To Come Together

In this interview NZ's Nuclear Free Movement back in the mid 1980s was invoked as an example of how individuals and communities across the country came\n together back then. This was when local people, like mothers, churches, disarmament activists and people just wanting a peaceful world went to their\n local, regional councils, including towns, cities and boroughs and having them pass municipal by-laws that made each particular area a Nuclear Free\n Zone. That over time the numbers increased until there were around 105 Nuclear Free 'Zones' across the whole nation. These covered an area of around\n 67% of human habitat - that allowed David Lange the NZ Prime Minister the mandate to make into Law, that NZ become a Nuclear Free Country. This was\n an example of democracy being allowed to fulfil itself.

Building a Groundswell

This example of community involvement could be used to encourage NZer's to instigate more 5G communities to show the Government our ‘elected servants’\n that there is a huge groundswell of public opinion that is not at all happy with the way 5G technologies is being enforced on the NZ public. More so,\n that next year NZ is having its general election and this could very well be an election issue.

Elections Coming Up

Also that later on this year there are Local Government elections and Councillors have to be elected - and already mentioned in this interview 4 Board\n Members attended the Albany local 5G presentation that allowed them to see the seriousness of what this technology presents. As well as the concerns\n of the electorate.

Sue is also involved with Oceania Radiofrequency Scientific Advisory Association (ORSAA) It’s an Advisory Panel that brings together multidisciplinary\n scientific experts from the Oceania region as well as from other parts of the world. They are connected to many other leading experts globally.

https://www.orsaa.org/advisory-board.html

Doctors and Professionals are ‘encouraged’ not to speak out against 5G

As a side note - because Doctors are in a profession with exacting standards - they have to have permission from their 'Medical Association' - if they\n wish to make any pronouncements on health issues in the public arena.

In the case of speaking up against technologies such as genetic modification, vaccines, fluoridation, 1080 etc - this is way outside the bounds of what\n the Medical Association allows.

It is forbidden and if a medical professional speaks out against such subject matter they are 'warned' that they will lose their license and thus all such\n doctors etc are kept on a very short leash.

Hence, you will rarely see a Dr speak out on public health issues. The same goes for scientists and many University professors - as well.

Doctor’s Grouping in Large Numbers.

There is a large group of Doctors ready to speak out - so they are grouping in numbers large enough to have safely in numbers. This is about to happen\n very soon.

This is a Global Issue …and we are exposed to 5G radiation 24/7/365.

Science is finding DNA damage - and even our ability to clearly think, when in the presence of wireless radiation. Some liken this radiation to living\n in an airport security zone 24/7/365

The NZ Health Act

Legislation and the 1956 NZ Health Act.\n

It says that they are for improving, promoting and protecting public health.\n

What does it mean 'protecting public health?\n

This is where the focus of 5G needs to concentrate on. What are the NZ Authorities, the Government and the Health Department doing to prove that this technology\n is safe?

In this interview we learn that the Ministry of Health is interpreting the Act differently and not necessarily protecting public health - but more so vested\n interests! (Listen) - even just for the first 1 minute will give you a startling understanding of what we are having to deal with.

Time for a 5G Moratorium across NZ

By enacting a ‘moratorium’ in the meantime - allows the ‘precautionary principle’ to be acknowledged - this to any wise, civic, responsible elder is the\n prudent thing to do.

Can New Zealand become a global leader and become 5G Free?

This is a very quick synopsis of only 15 minutes into this very important understanding of the dangers of deploying 5G before the facts of its safety and\n efficacy are made known.

Its focus is on independent science information in the public interest, and the public’s right to be independently informed on issues concerning both ecosystem\n and human health.

https://www.psgr.org.nz/about-us

Jodie also founded the organisation www.Rite-Demands.org to draw attention to the problems of\n inadequate chemical regulation, that currently is too outdated and too dependent on private industry produced science to protect public health.

However, she stresses that this interview is not on behalf of PSGR. This interview reflects her independent research on what is happening\n in NZ.

The challenges today are how to promote wellbeing in the population and protect NZ's future generations. Though at heart it is very simple – it is about\n good nutrition, clean food and water, and transparency and accountability in Government. But when you delve into it, it is very complex, because we\n deal with each issue separately – we put health issues in silos, but when people tip into one illness, they frequently tip into more.

The Data is Telling The data increasingly demonstrates that the nation’s health is being unduly affected by a combination of poor nutrition and toxicity\n that we are finding in the growing list of illnesses that we see in our population today. New Zealand doesn’t do much research to understand this,\n but this shouldn’t keep us from understanding the international science that indicates nutritional parameters are presently at very low levels.

These can cause disease and depressive symptoms, as well as chemical exposures in the general public, thus creating long-term damaging stress to our body\n biology, that also sets the stage for increasing even more disease.

The increases in population level illnesses are alarming. But, especially in children.

Comorbidity

Jodie wants everyone to know what the word ‘comorbidity’ means – because when you become ill - you frequently do not become ill with just one affliction.\n

For example, the science literature shows that people with irritable bowel or a functional disturbance of the intestines - that about 60% of people are\n likely to also suffer from depression as well.

Comorbidity is common. With obesity - there is a massive overlap with type 2 diabetes and depressive disorder - that is an issue and these have been increasing\n dramatically over just the last 5 years.

Then heart disease risk, cancer risk, osteoporosis can be added in etc. Yet, we do not see budgeting in the public sector to talk about this cumulative\n cost of comorbidity.

Overlapping illnesses with other illnesses

So if you are not taking in healthy food (chemical free, with appropriate, bio-available fibre), then down-stream, you may experience bowel issues - that\n is where we absorb nutrients.

We are now having issues with bone density or we have rheumatoid arthritis - or we can’t properly concentrate at school, and it’s affecting our IQ and\n our ability to learn, cope and have resilience. All of these may be impaired as well. But, what is shown is that you just don’t have eczema or Crohn’s\n disease and fatigue - what you are experiencing can be an overlap of many ailments.

Why is this Happening? The question that is being asked is why is this happening? Science tells us that we can have a genetic connection, but frequently\n a genetic disposition is a secondary factor, - it is the environment, the combination of dietary and inflammatory stress that tips us into disease\n that we are genetically predisposed to. (Of course some people will express clearly inherited traits in every generation.) This is why 50 to 80 years\n ago we did not have the huge numbers of problems that we have now.

Endocrinologists are noticing the problemsHormone mimicking chemicals harm us at parts per billion and parts per trillion, lower than the levels chemical\n regulators look at. So what are the endocrinologists saying - like Dr. Leo Trasande - he’s looking at the plastics in our diet - pesticides, air pollution,\n personal care products, household products and that they are adding up.

Dr Trasande said in the book ‘Sicker, Fatter, Poorer’ that the problems of hormone damage directly relate to the pressures from all these chemicals – ‘Endocrine-disrupting\n chemicals are the second greatest environmental challenge of our time.’ Second to Climate Change. This is how serious things are becoming.

Jodie, says we are affected from conception - a baby foetus inside its mother can be exposed to between 200 to 300 plus different chemicals.

A young child is worryingly more exposed. For example you give a toddler a glass of milk and then give an adult a glass of milk - the toddler will have\n 3 to 5 times the exposure of the adult because of the size of the drink to body weight - so when you do a urine test or a blood serum test for that\n toddler it has a far greater exposure rate with high urinary or blood germ concentrations.

This means that the toddler is being exposed to far more challenges than any adult – but there are no science resources in New Zealand to understand how\n this is harming our children.

This is not really being considered by regulators. - please listen

Just like a young mother putting on sunscreen to protect their child from the intensity of UV, yet the creams are now considered to have ingredients that\n are toxic as well.

Once NZ had an Independent Scientific Government Department - called the DSIR. Need for Independent Science Research Jodie sees the importance to not only\n have authorities check food for safety but also we critically need funding to protect and regenerate our soil health so that our crops and our animals\n are healthier and more resilient to pests.

The science is there. We need to inform and resource farmers via old fashioned but really effective extension services. Where once NZ had a very robust\n Government Department called the DSIR - the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, which had top quality research scientists who were free\n of any commercial interests and could check out and publish research on all aspects of nature - the food chain, and any other industrial purpose, having\n especially a deep focus on biology, but this has nearly all been lost.

This came about, when the 4th Labour Government found themselves selling off a large percentage of NZ's State Owned Enterprises, the Crown Jewels of Government\n - and the DSIR was off loaded as well. Thus we lost an independent body of scientists who at one level were also public health watch dogs.

Lack of Robust NZ Media.So the precautionary approach today has in many ways a very small voice - as the media, the Fourth Estate rarely puts out an article\n that for example, reflects who paid for the science, or what the ethical implications might be.

The importance of ‘basic’ science – science silos can’t address comorbidity

New Zealand pays people to do ‘applied’ ‘silo-like’ science – zero in on one little issues. But the important ‘basic’ science that can look across issues\n and see big problems is comparatively rare.

The importance of Epidemiologists Epidemiologists in NZ are so now very critical, as like Grant A Schofield, Boyd Swinburn and Alister Woodward - that\n we have very few areas in public health science where people are focusing on this multi-disciplinary problem - this comorbidity - that is not being\n looked at as either an economic problem or a ‘wellbeing' perspective.

NZ is not paying people to research this area - just like Jodie, she is a volunteer and not being paid. So we have a vacuum in this field and it is important\n for the NZ public to address this yawning horrible gap in public health and in our general awareness.

NZ Revolutionary ‘Wellbeing’ - Budget did not cover food or diet.

Boyd Swinburn in referring to the NZ’s Government’s ‘Revolutionary’ Wellbeing Budget’ said no mention was made of food or diet - so this is a huge dropout\n by both treasury and the health department - because we all have to eat 3 times a day.

Jul 2, 2019 - Boyd Swinburn: Drastic change in our food systems needed.\n Our future food systems must continue to add to our wellbeing.

In asking about who else is speaking out about health and wellbeing …she said there are a lot of science based experts in NZ talking on the need\n for healthy nutrition, diet and the importance of micronutrients - but they are not getting any traction in Government Policy – their idea of ‘treatment’\n involves drugs, not nutrition.

So Jodie says we just have to look further up the command chain within Government. In particular if public servants are really making rules and policies\n that are consistent with the purpose or function or intention of the Act - that then actually gives them the power to make decisions and rules. Everything\n the Government (our elected servants) does should be in the public interest, and there is a wide body of administrative law supporting this.

NZ Health Act 1956

What is it under the Act that our Government Departments are working for? For example - Jodie is talking with young Mums with two year olds that are home\n - she says - go to your computer and Search - Legislation NZ Health Act 1956 and then search up the function of the Ministry in relationship to public health and this shows you in Section A … the Ministry shall have the\n function of improving, promoting and protecting public health’.

Note: ‘Protecting Public Health.’

Education for our children – connecting nutrition with biology

We do not have home economics of food science - that actually look at nutrition - as food science is slanted towards food technology.

So teenagers are taught to prepare food for the market - Let's produces something suitable that can be sold on the market – but they don’t understand how\n cabbage or broccoli work in the gut to prevent disease and reduce mental illness. Preferably organic.

They are not taught that magnesium comes from plant chlorophyll that many thousands of years ago, prior to starting to become an agricultural society we\n were eating so many dark green leafy plants - and now the food we eat today is being denuded of the magnesium that we need in our diet.

A Better Green Healthy Diet improves Wellbeing.Due to our present diet, our body physiology that requires magnesium is devoid of this important mineral.\n Children are lacking this element that is in need to give them deep quality sleep at night. Current diets don’t provide the broad variety bioavailable\n fibre that the microbiome needs (the intestines) i.e to feed beneficial bacteria and fungi - that not only assist for better sleep, but better skin,\n plus they might not be so irritable and actually doing better in school tests, too.

Education is Needed!Our education system should be teaching our kids that a good healthy gut synthesises hormones, as well as makes neurotransmitters.\n The population of New Zealand thinks that mental health is only in the brain. Mental health is directly connected to stress and trauma – but critically\n – nutrition and toxicity (and the ability of the microbiome to deal with that toxicity).

They may not be so 'jumping up and down' - they might also not be so sad …

Deficiency In Our DietAnother example Jodie mentions - If we look up the B vitamins - Vitamin D and Vitamin C and magnesium and you look up the symptoms\n of deficiency - then come from the other end - look at depression and anxiety and look at the somatic symptoms the physiological body symptoms of depression\n and anxiety - and if every young mother did this and connected the dots as to where these deficiency symptoms that we are seeing in mental health -\n that this is why it's so debilitating to our youth or in Jodie’s words it’s actually trashing our young people.

Obligations of the Ministry of HealthConsider the obligation of the Ministry of Health – that they should have the ‘function of improving, promoting and\n protecting public health.’ - and we are given prescriptions of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety - she says they have their place - but they do not\n heal. Add on the other drugs for the frequently comorbid conditions…

The Ministry has the ‘function of improving, promoting and protecting public health.’

We have to clean up our diet and clean up all food additives going all the way back through the food chain to our soil and water.

This interview covers so many points affecting our health - within our body - but also the soil and waterways of NZ.

Extra Data

This below is the 25th Australian dietary survey, It’s important as the North Island receives most of its wheat from Australia, these cereals have many\n different sprays of agrichemicals, so the mixture of chemicals (some of which probably cause cancer) on cereals is eye opening.

An extract from a 2014 paper:

JA Tainter & TG Taylor: Complexity, problem-solving, sustainability and resilience: ‘Increasing complexity, effective at first, seems inexorably to\n accumulate and to evolve to diminishing returns, undermining the ability to solve future problems’.

‘Complexity is a basic problem-solving tool. Confronted with problems, societies often respond by developing more complex technologies, establishing new\n institutions, adding more specialists or bureaucratic levels to an institution, increasing organization or regulation, or gathering and processing\n more information. While societies usually prefer not to bear the cost of complexity, problem-solving efforts are powerful complexity generators. All\n that is needed for the growth of complexity is a problem that requires it. Since problems continually arise, there is persistent pressure for complexity\n to increase’. P.169

In human societies that are hierarchical, the benefits of complexity often accrue at the top of a hierarchy, while the costs are paid at lower levels.\n Since benefits and costs do not connect, the cost of complexity often cannot constrain its growth. P.170

Last century, NZ became the first major country to become Nuclear Free. Thanks to the work of dedicated activists supported by thousands of ordinary New\n Zealanders we are still essentially GE & GMO Free today, too.

Can we quickly mobilise the populace, especially loving mothers, so as to empower all district councils, towns and cities nationwide to enact laws against\n the rollout of 5 G wireless networks?

The propaganda war is increasing exponentially as financially flush Telcos, like Spark, Vodafone and 2 Degrees - ‘spin’ the benefits of streaming nonstop\n media to our smartphones and target our unknowing youth.

All the while they are saturating the environment and us with intensifying frequencies from ubiquitous cell phone towers…Now they are planning to\n place new more powerful radiation-emitting “small cells” around 250 metres apart in our cities and towns.

Yet, we have not been told of the ‘health benefits' - as there are none!

On the contrary, knowledgeable scientists and health professionals have been warning us against this coming technology as the wireless industry has migrated\n from 1G to 2G to 3G and 4G. https://www.5gappeal.eu/ .

Now “Big Wireless” wants to introduce 5G and flood our neighbourhoods with even more wireless radiation whilst at the same time cancer and ill effects\n keep escalating countrywide. This is also now slowly overwhelming NZ’s ‘free’ national health system.

No, this is not a scare tactic - do the research yourself.

150 years ago - there was no microwave radiation other than extremely low levels from the sun and an occasional pulsar in space - coming in from millions\n of light years away.

Now we are metaphorically wading through a jelly of accelerating magnitude of microwaves and other artificial forms of electromagnetic radiation - and\n the general health and wellbeing of the populace has not been taken into consideration.

Nor has the health of nature, the biota within the biosphere such as animals and especially your pets, your cats and dogs - plus insects, bees and all trees and plants. http://www.5g.org.nz/2018/10/06/like-trees-enjoy-breathing-oxygen-you-should-oppose-5g/

Where is the scientific evidence proving this latest technology is safe?

It is known (listen to the interview) that the telecommunications industry along with broadcasting - be it TV or radio and in particular the relationship\n to ‘smart’ phones – had a huge amount of influence in the development of the current standards in NZ as to what sort of level of microwave and other\n wireless radiation is acceptable and where cellular phone infrastructure can be sited.

There was negligible input from people who were advocates for ‘human health’ involved in the process of setting NZ’s current standards.

This was an ‘inside’ job, almost completely focused on how it would benefit the telecommunications industry and profits. What this means that essentially\n no consideration to ‘due diligence’ or ‘the precautionary principle’ was taken in relation to biological life - meaning we humans!

So how do we relay this information to ordinary New Zealanders when we realise that MSM, mainstream media, the Fourth Estate have reneged on their duties\n to inform you the public.

Well, just like the many loving mothers and concerned ordinary New Zealanders back in the 1980’s who did not want to be targeted in a nuclear war between\n the USA and the Soviet Union - when we had no say what so ever in the matter other than we were obliged to go and do whatever America decreed.

So thoughtful New Zealanders became activated and banded together over tea and coffee and gatherings or all manner of situations to convince local council,\n boroughs, towns and eventually city councillors to enact Nuclear Free Zones across the whole country.

That finally when around 105 councils across the nation representing about 76% of the electorate happened, it gave the mandate to David Lange, Prime Minister\n of the 4th Labour Government to make NZ - ‘Nuclear Free NZ.’ And be a beacon of peace to the world.

This continues to be followed up in relation to becoming a GE and GMO Free country as well. With Hastings/Napier becoming GE Free, and all of Northland\n now becoming the largest GE Free area in New Zealand.

We have arrived at a crunch time.

The previous NZ National Government in realising that people power was still prevalent and that GE Free activists were writing submissions, signing petitions\n and attending meetings and gatherings to advise and invigorate local Councils - that ordinary citizens did not want this unhealthy biotech in their\n regions.

The Government took action. They decided to keep ‘control’ of the narrative by endeavouring to usurp the power of local councils, towns and cities from governing their own local areas and regions. The Government wanted to prohibit councils from passing by-laws banning GE and GMO’s. Fortunately the High Courts of the land sided with the\n Councils.

However, we cannot be at all sure how the present Government will react to such a powerful global technology that is omnipresent and in\n everyone’s lives.

Why? Because (with the exception of putting out a consultation which appears to have been basically intended to elicit feedback from the telecommunications\n industry) they have remained deathly silent all of this year!

So the game plan is to share this information as much as possible especially texting this to family members and talk about this\n at the table, when hanging out with friends - because there is an imperative for New Zealanders to come together, share, cooperate and collaborate\n and start the movement to make NZ a 5G Free Country.

There is a 5G information website for NZ which is www.5G.org.nz\n

Come on NZers - get courageous - this may be our last chance for a better wood for our children and grandchildren.

There is documented evidence into the unpredictability of genetic engineering. Yet there is mounting pressure for new gene technologies to be used with\n no regulatory supervision.

Gene editing is the genetic alteration of the natural world.

They are a stage after genetic engineering.

Whatever the size of a change made inside a cell, and some scientists like to say they are very small changes, how can messing with DNA be a safe thing\n to do, when we increasingly realise the connection between living things.

Organisms are self organising complex systems and so how can it be possibly safe to manipulate and mess with our food and animals?

In this interview find out the difference between Genetic engineering and gene editing. What is CRISPR – (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic\n Repeats) – and are there other types of gene editing?

What is the politics of food? How likely are the large corporations to say that gene editing doesn’t need to be included in food labelling?

Scientists can now harness gene drive mechanisms to control or alter natural populations. Is this safe?

The US’s secretive Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) has become the world’s largest funder of “gene drive” research. Why?

Modified mosquitoes with gene drives on board are already being bred and tested in labs and some may have been released.

The Impact of Gene DrivesGiven the profound impact that gene drives could have on species and ecosystems, their use is a highly contentious issue. There\n are concerns about the ecological safety of the eradication, replacement or enhancement of particular species of animals by means of genetic engineering.\n Communities and groups have differing beliefs about nature and its conservation or preservation. For those reasons, the rigorous testing and regulation\n of insects and other animals with gene drive systems is crucial.

With fluoride being a neurotoxin, there is now, in total, around 377,655,000 million people worldwide drinking artificially fluoridated water. This represents\n 5% of the world’s population.

Yet, there are more people drinking fluoridated water in the United States than the rest of the world combined, with about one third to three quarters\n of the population now drinking it daily.

Today 50% of NZ tap water is fluoridated, a whopping 73% of Ireland and 10% of England and Spain as well.\n

Science has known for a hundred years that fluoride suppresses thyroid function. Fetuses can be born without a thyroid gland at all but the mother will\n provide the hormone. The importance of the mother and what she takes into her body is very relevant. Professor PJ Pop in the Netherlands - has a number of papers - and what is noticed is that there is reduced intelligence once the fetus is born.

Pregnancy, postpartum and the thyroid: isn’t it time to offer women optimal care?\n

Please listen to understand this crucial information.\n
\n

Note that students studying water management or to become doctors were never told anything about fluoridation in University. So they pass through University,\n in a state of unknowingness about what is added to the water.\n
\n

There is very little fluoride research on the human body

Declan - says he first came into the knowingness that something was awry with fluoride in 2006 - when he found that no studies or research had been completed\n on the human body, other than the effect on teeth and bones. No other organs, or brain tissue or - anything.

Then in the US the National Academies 2006 report on fluoride and drinking water impelled the top committee who were responsible for this report, to bring\n together their top academics across the USA, from neurology, toxicology and dentistry to assess this data. They then put together a list of close to\n 70 different areas that they needed studies to be taken, to fill the gaps of lack of knowledge for the effects of fluoride on people’s health.\n
\n

Could Downs Syndrome be a result of exposure to drinking Fluoride in tap water?\n
\n

Declan goes on to say that Ireland has the highest ratio of Downs Syndrome on earth and these academics also posited the question of the possibility that\n it was ‘biologically plausible that fluoride exposure could result in Downs Syndrome.’\n This was a shock to Declan.

Paul Connett talks about 52 IQ studies - the Bashash study funded by the US government - The National Institute of Health - as well as the EPA the Environmental\n Protection Agency is a watershed moment because all the other studies have come from India Mexico China and Iran - however our arrogant Western scientists\n just ignore these finding because… you know - they don’t\n make the grade …\n
\n

And in this major study - all the criticisms of the other 52 studies that have been done over the years were essentially addressed.\n
\n

Listen: McGill, Harvard, Montreal Universities were all these top universities were involved. Etc etc\n
\n

Now 50 papers have been produced on other aspects of neurotoxicity on elements like lead, mercury and so on.\n
\n

A 12 year study by high quality scientists - they covered every single angle and every nook and cranny to prove that fluoride is toxic and has the potential\n to lower the IQ in children.\n
\n

So the only thing left is for the politicians, the media etc to work out - what is more important for your Child?!\n
\n

Healthy Teeth or a Healthy Brain?

Paul Connett, says brush fluoride on your teeth and spit it out - he says he is not anti fluoride just keep it out of your body interior.\n
\n

Media Blackout?\n
\n

Declan Waugh when learning of this study, followed it up and wrote to every newspaper in Ireland and radio station too - and did not receive one reply\n whatsoever - Even though it was a huge study!

There is basically a media blackout, even here in NZ - (we know that) hence GreenplanetFM.com - a.very small voluntary radio program - is filling the gap,\n essentially by default.\n
\n

NZ’s one media response was that ‘Mexico’s fluoride levels are not relevant’ - (what does that tell you about the communicator of that statement?) That\n Mexico does not rate as a country?\n
\n

There was zero response to the rest of the science. Yet, the Canadians in fluoridated areas - just last week made a statement that their levels are exactly\n the same as Mexico cities.\n
\n

Listen to the tea drinking of NZ (Dr Mike Godfrey) - And that in Ireland one of the leading tea drinking nations per capita and that tea leaves are loaded with fluoride. That the leaves take up fluoride\n from the earth.

Paul Connett talks about how the percentage of people drinking fluoridated water its affecting babies - listen especially of you are a mother with a loved\n one.

Drop in IQ in now a certainty.\n
\n

Note that a drop of 5 IQ points would halve the number of very bright genius’s in our society and increase dramatically the mentally impaired.

What came across in this interview is that the NZ Authorities when aware of the dangers took lead out of paint - and discontinued adding lead to petrol\n - so why do they put fluoride in 50% of NZ’s drinking water?\n
\n

Other information that comes from this interview

Fluoride in beer - listens to these results !!!\n
\n

Fluoride tap water to make up baby formula is - a no no.\n
\n

Green Party of Ireland was anti fluoride.\n
\n

Over the last 5 or 6 years throughout the length and breadth of Ireland the City Councils - County Councils and Local Authorities - plus their political\n representatives have voted to stop water fluoridation - from Dublin City to Cork City, to Galway and the Government - still refuses to act.

Yet the first act in Germany’s reunification was to stop water fluoridation in East Germany\n

Informed consent - The need to know.\n

Informed consent is an imperative - especially in medicine - but NZers are not receiving the latest data - we are being denied the information by our\n elected representatives.

In medical school the amount of training in toxicology is known to be minimal.\n

NOTES:

GreenplanetFM.com has two superb previous interviews by Lisa Er - one of Paul Connett & Dr Bill Hirzy on the Danger of Fluoride and another of\n Paul Connett that give a broad understanding of the issues.\n

The day I was contacted to do this radio interview - I was in Munich in Germany. Coincidentally I then found out - with a lecturer in water infrastructure\n in Bavaria. He is interested in our country and was talking up NZ’s clean green image to me - when I told him that we chlorinate our metropolitan\n water as well as actively push fluoridation of our water too - he was shocked!

That in most cases human health has been discarded or given a low priority. This rampant technological push continues to affect human health and wellbeing,\n influencing our very roots that connect us to nature - the source from which we spring.

Intuitively we know this, as our health is being affected and cancer and many other types of illness skyrocket.

GreenplanetFM is by no way anti science - we are satisfied with 3G and 4G technologies - however when there is a constant push for more efficiencies overriding\n the health of the community - the inevitable push back occurs.

Corporate profits versus human health?

With humanity appearing to be the canary in the coal mine.

This very insightful interview tells us of what it is for a biological being having to live in an increasing world of oscillating frequencies that are\n continuing to intensify to the detriment of the natural world. The vegetable and animal kingdoms are being affected. That means you and I and especially\n newborns, vulnerable babies, infants and children.

Humans are more than cellular bodies. The human body is composed of molecules, atoms and subatomic particles. There is a large body of literature that\n exists on the response of tissues to electromagnetic fields, primarily in the extremely-low-frequency (ELF) and microwave-frequency ranges. In general,\n the reported effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation on tissue and organ systems have been attributed to thermal interactions, although the existence\n of nonthermal effects at low field intensities is still a subject of active investigation. This means that as new technological frequencies are deployed\n across cities, countryside and whole nations etc - we are in many ways an experiments in real time. We are the proverbial laboratory rats, that like\n GE and GMO foods, we are test cases for new technologies.\n

Smart Meters

The interview starts off with smart meters that are now becoming ubiquitous across NZ. Many people may not be aware that they are already in place at their\n power switchboard somewhere on a wall of your house. Your power company may have already installed one. Yet, certain people are very sensitive to the\n subtleties of a steadily increasing frequency spectrum and may not understand why they are unable to sleep or they may continually be restless. Reason\n being, that they are being affected by frequencies coming off their undisclosed smart meter.

There is no legal obligation for NZers to have a Smart Meter. \n

In NZ there is no legal obligation to have a smart meter … you can refuse to have a smart meter …If you have one - you can get them removed\n in NZ. It may require a change in company - but you can remove them.

Though if you are living in blocks of flats or apartments there are challenges.

There are a variety on ‘non smart meters’ on the NZ market so do not believe the company line that some power retailers may tell you! Get more information\n from Legacy Metering Group or www.stopsmartmeters.org.nz

This is the best option.

Smart meters have a lot of computer power basically, the equivalent of a modern mobile phone - and it is able to tell where certain lights and power plugs\n are turned on at certain times in a 24/7 cycle - like every utensil in the whole house. You are being monitored. Every electronic item use is being\n recorded.

Education, Research, and Policy to Reduce Environmental Risks.

The interview leads into this; which gives you an understanding of how frequencies work.Frequency weapon systems called Active Denial A US system.

The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military,\n designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray since it works by heating the surface\n of targets, such as the skin of targeted human subjects.

What are 5th Generation Technologies?

They are more ubiquitous and powerful transmitter technologies!

A result of intensifying use of transmitting frequencies in telephones and complementary technologies - people can end up with electro sensitivity - or\n EHS electro hypersensitivity - or electromagnetic sensitivity - or EMS - or ES electro sensitivity.\n

The interview then covers the fact that the NZ Government - both Labour and National are wanting to phase out and take down copper wire telephone transmission\n lines. They now see them as an unnecessary cost, due to the roll out of fibre. But this means that people - especially older people possibly in rural\n areas will have to use mobile phones and it is known that there are instances of cancerous growths on the same side of the face that people hold up\n their smartphone to listen.

Katherine mentions the : save our landlines.nz - a petition\n
\n

Taking away copper lines - leaves us all open to either only fibre or mobiles ….

Back to Five G technologies

The 5th Generation Radiation Frequencies Influences all creatures of the living ecology.

Birds are being affected so is urban wildlife, cats, dogs, guinea pig and pet rabbits. As for vegetation - over successive generations we will see for\n ourselves what happens.\n
\n

Scientists and doctors warn of serious health effects of 5G Technology

Over 240 scientists and doctors from 41 countries have signed a declaration to officials of the European Commission demanding a moratorium on the increase\n of cell antennas for planned 5G expansion. Concerns over health effects from higher radiation exposure include potential neurological impacts, infertility,\n and cancer.\n

Experiments in China - show that rats heavily irradiated - can basically be all dead in 10 minutes.

Listen to the interview.

The SCARIEST 3-1/2 Minutes EVER! - 5G will Weaponize Everything\n

Olga Sheehan - who once worked for the World Health Organisation wrote a book called “no\n safe place” - saying beaming microwave radiation from space - leaves all of life vulnerable.

There are 20,000 research papers on microwaves so there is no shortage of data - however there is a shortage of 2018 data going forward, which is understandable.\n Hence the precautionary principle.

All biota is affected - except certain bacteria and microbes Dr Devra Davis

Remember:

We are dealing with a cascading multiple electronic microwave escalation - with wifi, cell phones, cell towers, smart meters, baby monitors and now 5G\n technology - We as a human race can be likened to living in a microwave oven that is slowly intensifying

Up before the time that electricity and wireless technology came into being - our planet was near on - a paradise!

Barrie Trower former Royal Navy microwave weapons expert says that the scientists\n who are producing this technology have absolutely no idea of the mathematics of the waveform that is being produced - but they know it is in the gigahertz\n range - he stated there are no safety tests on this tech but they know that these frequencies can interfere with the cellular structure of the human\n body - that it is not just one wave but several waves.\n

Right from the start both of these very articulate communicators share their knowingness as to the challenges and opportunities to heal what is becoming\n the affliction of the human race. Cancer!

What I like about them is that ever since knowing them - they have been focusing on encouraging us to see our body in a new light - to see that we need\n not be a victim of our genetic make up and that when we look beyond, into the quantum levels of the subatomic realms - new possibilities come into\n being.

This requires a shift in awareness, in consciousness - that we are energy fields in a localised planetary field that is embedded in a universal energy\n field - is opening up new vistas of not only health and healing, but living, our philosophy in life and indeed - our cosmology.

If perhaps you are aware of what’s happening in the realm of health and healing, there are some exceptionally unique perspectives being offered.

Speakers at this symposium include leaders in their particular fields, from the United States, Australia and New Zealand:, Jack Tips ND PhD, Dr Allan Frankel\n MD, Ty Bollinger, Glen Gillard ND, Greg Fredericks NMD, Dr Robin Kelly MD, Prof Bill Watson, Katherine Smith, Jon Eisen and Kim Knight.

The International Holistic Cancer Symposium (IHCS) is a regular\n conference organized by health professionals, the purpose being to share scientific evidence-based research on cancer prevention, treatment, management\n and support, and providing knowledge that encompasses treating the whole person, not just cancer tumours. It is a resource for all those who are interested\n in an evidence-based holistic approach to cancer.

The IHCS is for Governmental Agencies, Medical, Allied and CAM health practitioners, Cancer Support Organisations and Cancer NGO’s and Cancer patient lobby\n groups.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE INTERVIEW

Download the whole transcription here.\n

Tim: In the studio this morning I have Bruce Lipton and David Holden.

Bruce comes from the United States where he has spent a lot of his time looking at a cellular structure, is a quantum biologist as he is now looking at\n being able to bridge the gap between science and spirit.

And I have also David Holden. David is a natural medicine in natural therapies practitioner, he's been close on 30 years in this country working with the\n natural ways to be able to bring good health to our being and as this is all part of the International Holistic Cancer Symposium that’s going to be\n here in Auckland on the 24th and 25th of March.

You've gathered here this morning to be able to hear some other leading-edge means of being able to cure cancer but also to look at how’s it that we've\n become a ‘cancer society’ and that’s increasing hugely, 38% of the human population could end up with cancer on the latest statistics.

So we need to heal human race and we also realize that we are energy fields in a greater Universal energy field. This is important because we've got to\n actually lift ourselves out of a cellular world into a higher frequency of existence.

So David thank you, would you like to share the audience what's going to happen and what you want to be able to achieve.

David: Sure, this is the third event of this topic put on an Auckland over eight years and Bruce has been the keynote speaker at each\n one and we're so privileged to have Bruce here with a man of such incredible knowledge and wisdom to share in this particular area around holistic\n cancer and statistics reporting.

As you said before the WHO says that by 2021, one in two people in the West will die of cancer not with it, of it. That's pretty serious and so what we're\n wanting to do is to bridge that, lower those numbers, get more information out to the people that need it, to show that they can control their own\n destiny, so we have other options other than the standard burn-cut-and-poison or chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery approach of orthodox medicine.\n Not to say that doesn't have a place. It does but it's a very small place.

Chemotherapy is overused like antibiotics and steroids by medicine because they're not aware of other options around nutrition, mind-body medicine, meditation,\n mindfulness, lifestyle medicine, which Ian Gawler has really promoted a lot over the years, and Ian was a keynote speaker to the two of our previous\n conferences, he's now retired and so what I've done is I've picked some of the best brains in the States, Australia, and New Zealand, brought them\n all together over a weekend to talk about what we can do as human beings on this planet to change the direction of cancer and its history in the world.\n

And because still the vast majority of medical institutions particularly in New Zealand in Australia, less so in the States and Europe are not teaching\n their doctors about nutrition. They're not teaching their doctors about epigenetics. They're not teaching their doctors about the mind-body connection\n in health and this is of a concern, because Bruce's work particularly talks about the impact of that and how we can effectively change genic expression.\n And so you look at one of the notables Dr. Ralph Moss PhD did a meta-analysis that's a study of all the main research papers done on chemotherapy and\n cancer to account how successful is cancer.

Okay what's the percentages? Well have a guess what the percentage of success just using chemotherapy is across the board with all types of cancer have\n a guess what the number is.

Tim: I don't know, seven percent?

David: Go down. Yeah. It's appalling it's 2.1% in the United States and 2.3% percent in Australia, that's over a five-year analysis done\n in the 90’s and the figures haven't changed that much.

There's a few notable areas where research has improved with a new immunotherapy drugs like keep true to melanoma is making a massive difference I personally\n have six patients that would be underground pushing up daisies now if it wasn't for Keith Reuter.

But the problem is chemotherapy is devastating the immune system and it's been totally overused and we've got to stop doing it and that's why I pulled\n together this range of speakers.

This is the biggest event we've ever done at the AUT we're expecting 350 to 400 delegates health practitioners. Unfortunately, the ones that need to be\n there probably won't be medical oncologists, medical radiologists. However my job after the event is to distribute the information to those people\n put it in front of them, then they have a choice to start to read and understand it or not.

All we can do is take the horse to water, they're the ones that have to drink. So we have some very, very notable speakers, Bruce of course, you're gonna\n hear about very shortly who's the keynote speaker. You also have Dr. Jack Tips who's a very well-known naturopathic physician homeopaths a nutritionist\n from Austin Texas personal friend of mine are brought to New Zealand three times before.

He is coming flying in especially for the event and he has some very interesting new information on viruses and cancer which he wants to share.

We also have Dr. Greg Fredericks who's written this wonderful document and integrative oncology guide to cancer and he's doing a study and has written\n a book on all the suppressed cancer cures throughout history.

The doctors behind it why it was suppressed, the science behind their remedies and how they work, and the science showing that they do actually work and\n doctors need to be aware of these suppressed cures.

We've also got Glenn Gillard, a naturopath friend of mine I've known for thirty years in Australia, he’s known as the naturopath gadget man and he's using\n induction coils, rife frequencies, a whole range of electronics to help restore immune confidence with patients that have weakened immune system after\n conventional therapies or just because they're mind-body connection isn't working properly and he helps restore that consciousness with them.

We also have Katherine Smith who's going to be talking about the effect of electromagnetic fields all these electronics that surround us every day how\n they're impacting particularly brain cancers.

Tim: Yes I agree.

David: and what we can do to protect ourselves against those EMF because it's getting worse not better. I mean how many devices do you have at home now\n compared to what you had ten years ago. Most of us have got a lot more devices were saturated and swimming and bathing in EMF that we weren't.. that\n was zero two hundred years ago.

Tim: Wait until G5 comes out.

David: Exactly yeah that's a concern and then we've got John Eisen who's gonna share his personal story with cancer and how he reversed it using natural\n medicine which will be very very interesting. I've also in between some of the speakers I've selected four cancer patients of mine who survived cancer\n they're gonna share their stories of what they did.

We've also got Kim Knight who's a mind-body practitioner who's gonna talk about the emotional intelligence behind breast cancer particularly. Very emotional\n disease for women and she's gonna talk about that from a woman's perspective which will be fascinating.

We've got Professor Bill Watson he’s gonna be talking about oxygen debt and the nagalase enzyme and GC MAF and a whole range of other aspects of cancer\n treatments all science-based and there are other speakers as well. It’s a very very detailed two-day intensive for the practitioners that will be turning\n up and you can find out more by going onto the website Holistic CancerSymposium.com HolisticCancerSymposium.com.

Tim: And that's going to be on the 24th and 25th of March.

David: In Auckland at the AUT.\n

NOW AT QUALITY HOTEL PARNELL, 20 GLADSTONE ROAD, PARNELL.

Tim: Very good. Now you're going to introduce Bruce to get his particular inside. Sure. So I allow you.

David: Thank you, well I've had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful man for must be 7-8 years now and Bruce and I become good friends and I'm fascinated\n in his take and he's given me a little preview before this interview about the topic he's gonna be talking on this conference.

Bruce has an astounding array of knowledge around Epigenetics - the mind-body connection and how science and spirit does dovetail. He's gonna take that\n to a whole new level with his talk so I urge people to come and hear what Bruce has to say, so I'll let Bruce speak for himself.

Bruce: Well I want to thank you both for letting me be here and for this program which i think is the most important understanding that's necessary for\n the public and there's a simple reason and that is I used to teach in the medical school and I taught the conventional story how genes control life\n genes turn on and off and what I needed to tell you is that while I was teaching in a medical school is also doing research on stem cells.

This is actually my 50th anniversary of my stem cell research so it's not new stuff but it was pioneering. It was pioneering because back at that time\n as I said I was teaching medical doctors about the fact that genes control life, and I said but what does this mean to the public when you teach something\n like that? And I said well the first thing it means is this your life is not under your control, your life is under the control of your heredity, what\n genes you inherited from other people.

So we are given a belief that the genes that we inherit are like blueprints for the rest of our life and therefore whatever kinds of good genes great,\n but whatever kinds of bad genes, oh my God. Now we have like I'm a walking time bomb, that gene is gonna turn on or off and my whole life is gonna\n go upside down.

Well I said well what is that relevant to all of us in this planet and the relevance is this if you understand that as a belief then what you're saying\n is this you are a victim of your heredity that genes control you, you don't control the genes, you didn't pick the genes, you don't want the genes,\n you can't change the genes, and all of a sudden says oh my God my life is not under my control I'm a victim.

There's a couple of consequences that just have beliefs and the first thing is this you give up power. If I'm a victim then I'm saying I have no power\n and therefore that enhances your victimness. But then and here's the other side when you feel you have no power then you will seek a rescuer and you\n will pay that rescuer whatever dear dollars you have to give you your life back.

And of course who steps into this void is the pharmaceutical industry that says your body is a machine you have nothing to do with it but we've made parts\n and if you buy our parts you can have a great machine.

Well this is all wrong, the entire belief system is entirely wrong as I found out doing my stem-cell research and what the stem-cell research revolved\n around is that if I put one stem cell which is an embryonic cell that's just another name for it. One cell in a petri dish and it divides every 10\n hours versus one then 2, 4, 6, 8 doubling doubling doubling a week later I've got 30,000 cells in the petri plate.

The most important point about it is that they're all genetically identical because they came from the same primals one cell and then I say okay so I split\n the thirty thousand cells into three petri dishes, so I have three dishes genetically identical cells on all of them, and then when you grow cells\n in a laboratory you grow them and something called culture medium and okay what's that and I go it's the equivalent of blood.

So if I want to grow human cells I look at the composition of human blood and synthesize a version of that called culture medium. I grow mouse cells I\n look at mouse blood composition and likewise creative. So here's the point I create the culture medium which is equivalent of blood and I can change\n the chemistry so I made three different versions of culture medium almost identical but slightly different chemistry and I feed the dishes and dish\n A environment A culture medium A the cells form muscle.

In the second dish was the slightly different environment a different culture medium B the cells form bone and in a third dish again with a different composition\n of culture medium the cells form fat cells and I was so …. looking at this and going oh my God the genes don't control the expression of the\n cell because they all have the same genes.

That the control of the cell was from the environment, the cell was adapting or adjusting its biology to the environment it was like oh my gosh here I\n am teaching medical students genes turn on and off and it turns out that is a false statement.

Genes have no activity and and think about it because every one of us thinks that genes are controlling us, and I go a gene is the equivalent of a blueprint,\n period.

I say you go into an architect's office she's working on a blueprint and you ask her “is your blueprint on or off?” and she'll look at you and go “ what\n are you crazy? it's a blueprint!” And I go precisely, exactly this is the most important point.

Your genes are blueprints and as blueprints cannot turn themselves on and off, they're just blueprints. The more important question is and who reads the\n blueprint, who pulls up the blueprints, who can change the blueprints and the answer is our nervous system is the primary control.

You say how did that connection and I go very simply this, it was the chemical composition of the culture median that determined the fate of the cells\n so might the next question of course is then what controls the chemical composition of the culture medium the blood? I said “Oh your blood is controlled\n by your nervous system”.

The composition when the nervous system releases hormones and neurochemicals to regulate up and down the functions. And so the chemistry coming from the\n brain goes into the blood, the blood is the culture medium and inside under our skin we have fifty trillion cells so we're like a skin covered petri\n dish and inside the culture medium is controlling the fate of the cells just like it did in the plastic dish.

And then I said yeah but it was the composition of the culture medium and now finally come to the most important understanding in the world is okay cells\n are responding the chemistry in the culture medium the chemistry and the culture medium is controlled by the nervous system. And then the most important\n question and the whole world comes down to well what chemicals should the brain put into the blood and here comes the oh my gosh answer and that is\n this - whatever picture is being held in your mind the picture is translated by the brain into chemistry.

Most of us when we were young played with something called paint-by-numbers where you start with an outline of a picture with black and white and color\n numbers are put into the little spaces and then there's a paint set where each color has a number and you take that number fill in the spots and then\n you create voila this beautiful picture. The simplified, it goes like this, the system works like paint-by-numbers in reverse meaning first you start\n with the picture in your head and then the brain breaks it down into numbers but those numbers represent neuro chemicals and regulatory hormones. Then\n I say and then they're released into the blood and then that goes and paints your cells to match the image that was in your mind and all the sense\n of oh my gosh if you change your mind you change your chemistry.

I go a hundred percent so for example if you're there now and your eyes are closed and you open your eyes and you see someone your love I said well what's\n happening in your chemistry I go oh a picture of love releases some very specific chemistry totally associated with love including dopamine for pleasure\n and that's why you fall in love. You feel the pleasures chemistry. It releases oxytocin, that's a chemical that bonds you to that love source to keep\n you in that that high and more importantly when you're in love and you see a picture of love in your mind, your brain releases into the culture medium\n the blood growth hormone which does what it does.

And I say what does that mean, I say look everyone sees someone in love and they go oh look how they glow, see how healthy they are, it’s not an accident.\n This is a result of direct chemistry from the mind being translated by the brain put into the culture medium blood and adjusting the genetics and behavior\n of the cells. This is a new science.

When I started this 50 years ago it wasn't even a science but now it's called epigenetics and you know what does that mean. It sounds like genetics. I\n don't know here when I say genetic control which is what almost everybody out there and the audience has learned that means control by genes that's\n where the belief comes from the gene cause this a gene cause that. The new science is called epigenetics and so epigenetic control is a revolution\n but he sounds the same I go no no here's the difference epi means above so when you say epigenetic control you're saying literally control above the\n genes.

Oh my God, the control is not in the genes, it's coming from the vision in your mind. And I go yeah but if you ask somebody who's sick you say you got\n a picture of being sick in your mind I go well there's where the problem comes from. There are two minds and they are interdependent. There's the conscious\n mind connected to your personal identity and through quantum physics we now know connected to an energy field which in other terms is defined exactly\n a spirit energy field but in quantum physics field and so we have this mind as connected to the System. Okay and once we start to recognize this then\n we start to recognize wait I am making a picture with my conscious mind that's called the mind which wishes and desires that's the - that's all I want\n to be healthy I wanna have a great life, I want I have great romance, I want a great job...that's wishes and desires - conscious mind.

The second mind is the autopilot mind and it's called subconscious. I go what do you mean an autopilot. I say well everything you have learned how to do,\n walking, talking, riding a bicycle, driving a car, mathematics, I don't care whatever it is you've learned it becomes a program in the subconscious.\n

And I said well why is this relevant I said well if you were running your life with your conscious mind then by definition you would be sending chemistry\n into your body of pictures of success health happiness and then I have to tell the sad news and that is only 5% of our cognitive activity is coming\n from the conscious mind. I said well why so little and the answer is this. Imagine your body is a vehicle in your conscious minds behind the wheel\n driving and I go this is really cool and I'm driving wherever the conscious mind wants to take me - success, health, great I go this way.

Cool, but then I say, but what if the conscious mind does what I really can do and that is think. You know what do you mean, I said well thinking. I said\n well what happens when you're thinking I say the first thing is this by definition when you're thinking your direction of your conscious mind is focused\n inward. Like if I said so what are you doing next week at this time the answer isn't written on the floor, the walls are anywhere the answers, inside\n your head so if you're gonna think about the answer then by definition your conscious mind stops looking outside of where the vehicle is going, let's\n go with the wheel goes inside to have thought and while the conscious is not driving the autopilot, subconscious kicks in and drives whatever program\n you got. Now here's where the problem comes from.

The training and the programming occurs during the first seven years and we get the programs by observing father, mother, family, and community and download\n their behavior. So here's the point, 5% of the day conscious minds controlling us and going exactly where our wishes and desires and aspirations want\n to go, 5%. But 95% the day science has recognized were in thought thinking about tomorrow, yesterday, last week, future whatever and I say well there\n is a problem because if you're in thought 95% of the day, then your life is not being controlled by your wishes and desires, your life is controlled\n by your program that you got in the first seven years.

And I know why is this relevant because the programs came from other people, they don't answer your wishes and your desires, you're just replaying other\n people's behavior. And 70% of those behaviors are disempowering, self sabotaging and limiting beliefs. “Who do you think you are”, “you don't deserve\n that these” are the things we…”you’re not good enough” “you can do better” and these are the programs that what happened in the first seven\n years.

So if I say if all of a sudden I switch from I'm looking for happiness and joy and health and I switch and I'm now thinking it my subconscious kicks in\n what's it saying yeah you're not good enough you don't deserve this, who do you think you are, and all of a sudden I go oh my God that behavior, it's\n gonna sabotage me. Now I need to just clear this up so that people really get it. ‘Cause you say well obviously I'd be aware if I was playing programs\n that were sabotaging me and I go not really and here's why. The focus of the conscious mind is on the inside and so it doesn't observe what you're\n doing on the outside and I've given this story.

And Tim, I've been on this show a couple of times, same story because there's no better story to explain this than the following. You have a friend, you\n know your friend’s behavior very very well and you happen to know your friend's parent and one day you see your friend has this same behavior as a\n parent you know and just excites you. You want to tell your friend so you go hey Bill you're just like your dad, back away from Bill. Bill is immediately\n gonna go ballistic, huh dad I'm nothing like my dad, most everyone laughs because it's like oh yeah I've seen that around and I go what does this represent?\n Everybody else can see that though Bill behaves like his dad. The only one who doesn't see it is Bill. Yeah I go well okay okay everybody hold on wherever\n you are hold on, we are all Bill.

Every one of us is doing the exact thing same thing as Bill. When we are thinking, we are defaulting to subconscious. The subconscious has programmed said\n or 70% disempowering and sabotaging but while we're playing those programs we are the only ones that don't see it so if you're sabotaging yourself\n what you see is the result. By God it didn't work you know in the conscious minds now totally confused because I wanted to succeed and it didn't work\n and it's...

David: Like a veil comes down and you're unaware.

Bruce: ...if you're unaware you know but here's a joke part because some people catch it as they're just coming out of thinking they're catching the tail\n end of the automatic behavior and at that moment in chagrin is like oh my God I was just acting like my dad.

The fact was you were playing that program the entire time and I want people to understand is this, a new understanding of science. Now listen the Jesuits\n for 400 years have acknowledged what science has just recognized and that is this, the Jesuit said give me a child until it's seven and I will show\n you the man what they knew was whatever programming we got before seven, 95% of that person's life is going to be exactly that program. So you can\n predict what the outcome is going to be. And where this applies to cancer here's a great truth.

They followed the fate of children adopted into families where cancer was running in the family and it turns out the adopted child whether was an infant\n one was brought in the adopted infant will have the same probability of getting the family cancer as any of the natural siblings but then you have\n to step back and go wait the child came from totally different genetics Yes. And all of a sudden it sounds like well then how did it follow in the\n lineage and the answer as we're finding out right now. Number one the very important point, less than 1% of disease is due to genetics. That's a fact\n of science.

I go holy gosh why is that important law said whether whether you're 90% of disease coming from if isn't from genetics and answer ís lifestyle and environment\n and belief and I go well you know what's so important in the old story of genetics you were a victim. Why? The genes control you, you don't control\n the genes. The new story of epigenetics turns that upside down and says wait a minute the genes are controlled by your environment, your perception,\n and your lifestyle. I go oh I can change any of those and also sounds like huh well if you can change those then you can change your life genetically.\n

And it turns out in eight hours of changing of belief, eight hours of meditation, genes can change in eight hours.

David: Wow!

Bruce: And the relevance about that is another one system people understand, identical twins. When they're born virtually have the same genetics, identical\n genetics. But if you read the gene readout which is a gene chip and you read the readout. That you read it and the firstborn they're almost identical\n gene readout. But you come back and read it a year later, five years later, ten years later, 20 years later, every year of life the genetic readout\n diverges and it changes. They started out identical and you say how far can it diverge.

One identical twin can have a healthy happy life their entire 90 plus hundred years and the other one could die of cancer at 40. I say yeah but they came\n with the same exact identical genetic so I go because it's not the genes it’s how we exercise or express the genes.

And why this conference becomes so critical is our belief system has been skewed by the belief of victim when in fact we are masters. But no one taught\n us and if you have no knowledge you have no power. And we're in an era of upending what was conventional knowledge. And there's new quantum physics\n which first of all expresses the role of invisible energy in shaping all of this. And epigenetics which recognizes you are in absolute control of your\n genetics and of your life. And that takes us from victim to master but knowledge, knowledge is power.

And here's the corollary that it's more important, a lack of knowledge is a lack of power. We have been systematically deprived of empowering knowledge\n especially with the pursuit of the pharmaceutical industry which only gets power by you having power over you. And if you have power over the system\n you won't need pharmaceutical drugs and then they know that. Yeah and the information I've been talking about which is absolute solid science from\n foundation of is very difficult to see in a medical school. Because the curriculum is overseeing in a large part by the money of the pharmaceutical\n industry

And so the idea of energy healing which has been known scientifically since 1930, there are papers that all mainstream journals have started in 1930 and\n where are they today well they're I have all publications about how electromagnetic fields, a very precise frequencies can turn on and off DNA synthesis\n which makes cells divide or not, I can turn off on and off differentiation if it's an embryonic cell and in other words every function of the cell\n has been recognized to be controlled by electromagnetic fields. The primary electromagnetic fields are derived from your own nervous system that's\n how it works. Your nervous system takes your consciousness and turns it into electromagnetic fields which in turn are controlling genetics and behavior.

And this becomes so critical for the audience that needs to show up at this conference because without this knowledge, you are disempowered.Yes and we're\n only a victim, a victim of a lack of knowledge. And this conference is profoundly important it says I, I think it's time for people to get their power\n back. Yes and I don't want to knock the medical profession, I was a professor in a medical school I was in University of Wisconsin Stanford University\n School of Medicine doing work.

Okay so medicine let me just clearly state this, medicine does miracles with trauma. If I get in a car accident I'm not calling on a natural path to help\n me or a chiropractor or a massage therapist I'm getting that medical surgeon. But here I was another fact when it comes to non trauma cancer, diabetes,\n cardiovascular disease we now know that 90% or more of everything that I just mentioned in that list is due to the consciousness and the lifestyle\n in the environment. And yet we in the allopathic community, so look, has a breakdown in the cell is broken, it's stupid and we're gonna put some drugs\n in there and fix eval panics. That's Newtonian mechanics and it turns out that's the failure of the system.

So medicine does miracles with trauma but when it comes to causes of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's and all these other things they're absolutely failing\n tremendously. The more money they put in the system the worth the health crisis is becoming. So it's not the idea that we don't make an effort but\n you're putting the effort into trying to look at a broken cell. When it turns out the cells aren't broken, they're just becoming a complement to the\n picture. It's the picture that needs readjusting not the physical biology. But that's a knowledge, that's a consciousness.

This is why this conference becomes important. You as a conventional person in the audience has been programmed with genes controlling your life which\n then makes you of course that victim and I'm trying to tell you the newest science from epigenetics to quantum physics reverses an entire thing right\n and says less than 1% of diseases due to genetics.

David: It gives back our power and helps us control our own destiny doesn't it and this shows the importance of meditation and mindfulness in changing\n that reality in a subconscious.

Bruce: Oh absolutely. So there's a level of I said from the nervous system input there's a level from the chemistry when I make culture medium. Here's\n a simple fact, I'm making the equivalent of blood in a laboratory that... let me give you a simple fact, I don't buy my ingredients at Kmart. I buy\n the best ingredients in the world to make culture meeting because if I just put one you know less quality ingredient in when I feed the cells within\n minutes I can see them respond. Yeah and they're very unhappy so I'm just saying well culture medium is equivalent of blood and therefore I said yeah\n but you're making blood. I said what chemical nutritional elements are you making that blood web or the building blocks. The building blocks and all\n of a sudden you realize oh my God well nutrition becomes a major part of this as well. So we have consciousness we have nutrition and these are issues\n that David I really believe that the people that you are bringing to this to conference to present will be addressing these topics.

David: But isn't it sad Bruce because you've been a professor of medicine you've taught in medical school the doctors aren't taught anything about nutrition.\n I mean I get three hours in six years of training on nutrition three hours yeah and if they miss those lectures that I have to resit them it's crazy\n where's the naturopath does a minimum of two years training in nutrition if I get less than 70% in the finals they have to redo the entire course.

Bruce: Right well again this is... there is a whole power control over health yeah it's an industry and unfortunately I was in that industry without knowing\n it I was participating and I didn't realize the nature of the industry. I’ll give you an example.

Tim: I'm speaking with Bruce Lipton PhD, a quantum biologist and an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. He is also best-selling\n author of the Biology of Belief and Spontaneous Evolution. He is talking of New Zealand's David Holden who has had 30 years of natural medicine specializing\n in naturopathic oncology neurology and endocrinology and they are going to be presenting at the International Holistic Cancer Symposium here in New\n Zealand on March 24th and 25th at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and for more information the website is HolisticCancerSymposium.com…

Bruce: And I give you an example if I'm...do they say Clark here instead of Clerk? Clerk. I'm a Clerk at the bank ok you are saying good look what I'm\n helping people in the community they're putting money away they're making safety and all that so I am helping the bank is helping people and I say\n go up about four floors today how much money we make today.

They're not interested in you, they're interested what the final line is, but that's a corporation and corporations by law that is the most important line.\n What they say all is profit... All right so if I have a health corporation and I'm not making a profit I'm violating the government regulations okay.\n

And then oh my God now you got me on this I have to finish it now how how does a health corporation make a profit oh well they charge more than the services\n are worth of course I know but wait a minute that means a person's already down and out you're taking that person more money out of them you're already\n are suffering.

Two-thirds of the bankruptcies in the United States which means you lose your house, you lose your savings, and everything. Two-thirds are because of medical\n bills. It is it is because you get you know they said today how many Americans can afford to go to emergency room for a thousand dollar bill which\n we walk in the emergency room is five hundred bucks right there. Okay and they said more than two thirds of the population cannot afford at this moment\n a thousand dollars for health care. And that is just a walk into the Emergency Room. So the reality is they're making a lot of money.

And then I said what, why is it irrelevant so let's simplify it. There's a common root to the word human humane humanity. It's a common root word is compassion.\n So I then I step back and say is the medical profession which includes the hospitals and the schools and all that, are they compassionate entities?\n And I go well not that when you consider they're gonna suck the blood out of you when you get sick. I said well they're they're not compassionate absolutely.\n They're I don't care about as long as you can pay the bill.

I mean you say you probably have seen some of the videos in the US where a poor person gets into a hospital and the hospital does its best to get them\n back on their feet so they can walk and then take a patient carrying a their drip bottle so you know a little rolling thing right they put them in\n a taxicab and they pay the taxi driver drop this person off in the middle of a bad part of town and as you see people get out of a cab in a hospital\n gown walking down the street pulling their little drip bottle with them and the reason is why they don't want that free patient in the hospital they\n didn't know if they said okay you can go out and they put they even paid for the cab ‘cause it’s cheaper than keeping them in a hospital.

So I'm looking at this profession I'm going it's not the doctors it's not the doctors especially not the nurses day that's where more the healing comes\n from anyway exactly and so the simple reality is this we're not condemning medical doctors, we're condemning Medical Corporations yes the system the\n system the doctors are caught in the middle. They came into the system like oh I'm gonna be a healer teaching their first semester so I see them come\n in just busting with excitement and I'm going to medical school and then I'd see my same class four years later. And all they're saying get me the\n hell out of this place get me out of here, they can't take anymore they're in debt they're drowning in debt and all of this stuff. And then they get\n out and guess what they can't practice what they need to practice, they practice according what a standard convention.

And I go starting a convention what does that mean? I say give them something even if it's useless, 15-minute constant a fifteen minute and that's a long\n time. And I said well you know what when was the medical profession actually helpful and I go back to the days when they only had family physicians.\n Right. Because the family physician knew what the family was doing lifestyle they saw the community and they worked with an understanding you are an\n expression of how you fit in this community and they were working and they were helping yeah but the more we pulled away from the story right the more\n we pulled away from the personal life yeah all of a sudden it's like what do you want machine it's just like you brought your Toyota in it's got oh\n that's the year Toyota here's the part number you know boom put the part in there it's like where's the person yeah yeah and it's gone and the healing\n has gone out the window.

David: Bruce, I like the Chinese system the old Chinese system where the village healer would be paid on a monthly basis by all the villagers to stay well\n as soon as they got sick they stopped paying the healer, they had a huge incentive to keep those people well that is a good system.

Bruce: Yeah absolutely holding barefoot doctors to correct yes yeah yeah and they were totally involved in education. Teaching the people how to eat right,\n how to live right, how to think right, how to exercise Tai Chi Chi-gong (Qigong), eating herbs as part of their natural diet to help stave off disease\n and conditions that were rampant in that particular area. Smart, smart medicine, very smart medicine.

Absolutely and is now a return to smart medicine time because we've taken that mechanical industrial medicine to this limit. I say so how effective are\n they. Diseases were rampant now than it was working on it so I really have to say we knew. You know there was a comedian I remember he said, “the older\n I get the smarter my father becomes”. Why is this relevant because there was a father of medicine and yet we disregarded that father of medicine and\n we became chemists and we became genetic engineers and all that stuff. And we pushed that to this limit, to this moment of planetary health crisis.\n And now we look back and go, oh my God the original fathers of medicine they already knew the answer. And we must go back and recognize we are part\n of an environment. And if we separate from that environment it's not the cost of health and this becomes important enough.

I'll close with one last thing, it to me is so important, a friend of mine Anita Moorjani, she wrote a book called Dying To Be Me. She had cancer I forgot\n was ten years with an oncologist ten years of being treated by an oncologist for her cancer or whatever number of years and it was her oncologist’s\n view she was in her last week of life because her system shut down she was so emaciated that the lumps of cancer were sticking out through her skin.\n She was on machines and then she went into a coma so the doctor called the family and said listen Anita's in a coma and that's the last stage of my\n cancer patients before they died. Anita had an out-of-body experience, a spiritual connection with her father where the issues of her life were created\n resolved that psychologically during this out-of-body experience.

David: Wow.

Bruce: And resolve that stress which was a belief and was like most people have those out-of-body experiences like well you have a choice you can go back\n in your body or you can stay here where she was like “oh my God this is so great out here” but she saw her husband Danny holding on to her hand while\n she was in a coma and she thought if I die he's gonna get sick. So she said I'm gonna go back, she got back and guess what, the moment she came out\n of the coma she didn't need the machines anymore. She was free of life support system.

Within two weeks the cancer had disappeared and within four weeks the doctors with every test possible were saying there's a cancer in there somewhere\n they studied it for all these years they couldn't find it and she told them there is no cancer in my body. And if she has now been talking like then\n she wrote that book and she's the most wonderful person. She's my example of the poster child of biology beliefs.

David: I must read that.

Bruce: It’s most exciting story because it reveals she got down to the very edge of death, she was on her deathbed full-out cancer and it came back with\n a different belief and the cancer radically disappeared and this is not a misdiagnosis, their years of oncology right right and it's like that's how\n far can you go the answer was to the point she was on support machines unconscious in her last hours last hours just changed their belief and woke\n up on the on the healing.

David: What's the name of the book of the author again? “Dying To Be Me” by Anita Moorjani. It was a classic best-selling book in United States for a long\n time and I really hope that people dealing with cancer look at this I said look you could go to the very last breath essentially and if you change\n your belief at that moment it comes right back.

David: Wow that's fascinating absolutely fascinating and then that step proves the point of the whole mind-body connection and this is a big part of natural\n medicine and naturopathic oncology and many of our speakers are talking just specifically about that subject at the symposium.

Tim: It's very interesting what you said Bruce because if we follow the information at Masaru Emoto a Japanese professor yes when he said he could take\n photographs of the thoughts of people directed at a glass of water that was in frozen as a crystal and if they were a positive thought they were all\n be very…found they’d be beautiful crystals of... On gratitude yeah that's right...and if they were negative and hateful it was a very convoluted\n dark crystal so there's another verification as an energy field.

Bruce: And water is an energy absorbs energy and alters its structure based on the energy available to it and the energy is communicated from water molecule\n water molecule which is now understood there's a foundation for homeopathy yes it says I don’t need the chemistry I just need the energy of the chemistry\n what water has the once the energies in the water it will change the character of the water as Emoto yeah as soon it was proven.

Tim: Yeah well that means that Aucklanders which take 10% of the water out of a Waikato River and they've got a catchment area of a huge area where all\n these chemicals from farms are going to leech into the water. So if they’re coming through the water and the people's mouths and babies in particular.\n Yeah so we're gonna have a look at this and another thing that I want to really discuss shortly anyway is that babies and children brought into the\n world as they're brought into a loving family and and the family is conscious and that the family have a good choice of vocabulary and vernacular the\n kiddies will actually get a good program for want of a better word yes if children have been brought up today who has come from broken families and\n they're watching all the crap under the sun on TV in God knows what else the children are getting a very convoluted and a horrible person ...

David: Distorted picture of the world

Tim: Yeah and so consequently they're going to see more and cancer can find that root and destroy their lives but if we are going to be really really mindful\n of how we bring children into the world yes and what sport patterns yes that we end up is it's the key

Bruce: Yeah I want to tell you that that's the root of all of the problems as I said to the first seven years the subconscious is learning programs so\n that we can use those programs when we become conscious. The first seven years a child's not even in consciousness their brain activities primarily\n and I wouldn't put wires on a person's head electroencephalogram EEG their brain activities below alpha which is consciousness fada which is actually\n hypnosis.

So the idea is the first programs put into child aren't created by the child they're copied from what's going on in the environment around them the parents\n so if a parent has a negative behavior the child is just recording that and will have the exact same behavior so that's how children end up being much\n like their parents.

Like yeah people like you know the jokey part if I was like oh a musician famous musician has a child who becomes a good great musician and they go must\n be in the genes and I go don't was never in the genes that was the child grew up in an environment yes learning the music as a breeze that was learning\n music became a musician. We become programmed and we understand that and we as adults should look back and recognize if our parents had no understanding\n of this and their programs weren't that good then by definition when we're not paying attention 95% of the day we we're probably playing those very\n same programs precisely. And if that program leads to cardiac problems heart attacks or it leads to diabetes we will unconsciously play that program\n and become diabetic and get a heart attack and then go oh yes it's the genes running in the family. I said no no it was the programming running in\n the family.

And that's why you Tim is so important as you said the most when the heck does the programming start and the answer is in utero in the last trimester of\n pregnancy the brain is already recording. I say what do you mean I go look you could play music through the abdominal wall while the fetus is developing\n and then when the baby is born you put that music on the baby immediately tuned into that music. Because it knows that where the father could talk\n to the fetus through the abdominal wall and when that baby is born and the father opens his mouth the fetus will I mean now it's just point the baby\n will know which one the father is just because the memory of the voice in utero.

So it's like yep we were already recording starting in utero and for the first seven years and if your life is not working the way you want it to work\n whether it's the cancer or whether it's diabetes cardiovascular disease or unhappiness or you know not finding relationships these are the consequences\n of behavior. And if so if your program wasn't good your struggles in life are not coming because the universe doesn't want to give you something you're\n struggles in life are coming because you're playing programs that do not support you.

David: Exactly and can I say to the audience if you want to find out more about this do get a copy of Bruce's first book the Biology of Belief particularly\n the 10th edition that you wrote last year. You go into this in a lot more detail and there's some great video clips of Bruce talking a lot more about\n this on his website brucelipton.com so check it out have a look.

Tim: Very important to get up speed on this there's another thing too in many ways as the discipline of the mind and and having meditation because I know\n that even today in my meditations I can find myself wavering and all of a sudden my mind goes off course and so we need to be always just straight\n up and down and I'd like you to talk about a disciplined mind and particularly starting with teenagers at that particular level too because that's\n when I really get distracted

Bruce: Yes yeah well they get distracted then because there's a driver they become self-aware when a child is below a certain age it's not self-aware.\n It's just looking out its eyes and the world is coming in it doesn't realize their participation until they get to a certain level. But then when you\n get to that level of participation all of a sudden they get that you know that teenage he kind of thing he says yeah but I want to participate differently.\n And that's where you know where all the sudden kids start doing something out of the ordinary only because they're just challenging the structure you\n know what the interesting part is they may be just like that as teenagers but as soon as they get to a certain age they're gonna be just like their\n parents.

Anyway because that point everything is set, it's 95% of your life, that's it. You are that person and the whole idea about it is this biology. I'm talking\n about is scientifically, the biology of how your thought is creating your internal environment and your external experience and your last interesting\n that's a new agey biology and i go it is in step with the most valid science on this planet, the most valid science, the science with more truth than\n any other science on this planet is quantum physics. There is no science proven to be more truthful and I go relevance is that I just say the first\n premise quantum physics from 1925 is consciousness is creating our life experience and now biology is stepped in to show the conversion of a conscious\n thought into chemistry affecting the physical body and all of a sudden that's called epigenetics so quantum physics and epigenetics are the new leading-edge\n science and both of them say exactly the same thing.

We are not victims of a biology, we are masters of our genes and our behavior and if you don't like the way it's working it's time for a driver education

David: Yes yes love it as two things I need to mention before we wrap it up there's two other speakers I haven't mentioned that are speaking one of them\n is very relevant because New Zealand's just passed a law to legalize medicinal cannabis and on my sabbatical to the States in July, I met with and\n sat in the clinic of Dr. Allan Frankel in Santa Monica. This man is an eight-year expert in dosed cannabis medicine, he won't be in person, he'll be\n on the big screen live from LA talking at the conference about the power of medicinal cannabis and cancer specifically and what it can do. And he's\n got a big message for New Zealand about taking this big step to legalize as a powerful medicine.

The other speaker is very well known probably to your audience Ty Bollinger who did the DVD series The Truth About Cancer and he's gonna be on the big\n screen as well live from Nashville talking about his research his parents both died of cancer and he was appalled at the traditional burn-cut-poison\n approach and wanted to research valid bonafide scientifically proven methods that that did cure cancer and hence he brought out this DVD series and\n his board at a new series called The Truth About Vaccinations which we won't go into now but that opens up a whole can of worms as well so these are\n two other speakers that are at the symposium as well so have a look at the website HolisticCancerSymposium.com.\n

Tim: It'd keep 24th and 25th of March free so that you can go there I think on purposes we must make sure that we have clean air and David your dad was\n actually involved in the clean air act of New Zealand way back...

David: Yeah, he was. He helped draft it. He is 92.

Tim: Yeah that's right clean air pure air pure water clean vital water not sanitized water out of the tap out through your filter you've got to go one\n step direct yeah clearer than that and also our food chain we've got to make sure that I mean I grow a lot of my food

David: Organic system is the way to go

Tim: Yeah definitely because this is the only way we as energy beings and a greater universal energy field can orient our way through existence because\n at heart we are all embryo gods.

David: Absolutely that's a great segue to the food we're having at the symposium is all organic it's put on by master chef Peter Chaplin who catered for\n our last events who toured with Madonna for two world tours in the 90s and Madonna at that point was a vegetarian vegan and she wanted high-protein\n food because he's an athlete effectively and so he prepared very creatively a wide range of foods that were well absorbed that met her parameters that\n was organic vegetarian.

So we're gonna be experiencing his meals directly for the two morning teas the two afternoon teas and the two lunches of the event and for those that enroll\n for the garlotte dinner he's putting on a four-course meal there'll be free-range chicken and fish options for the meat-eaters but it'll be mainly\n a vegetarian menu with delicious foods throughout the entire event so he can eat her way to health and happiness.

Tim: So as a baby born into this realm is an energy bundle of exponential potential how would you like to see the babies of the world express themselves\n Bruce we've got half a minute.

Bruce: If they came in knowing they were creators if we gave them the programs that help them become creators rather than limiting their belief system\n then we open up full potential and this is the ideas that we can still do this even though we are whatever age we’re at the moment we recognize we\n have been programmed which we have and that we can change the program and that's where empowerment comes from and you can get out of any disease you\n can cause any disease with your belief but you can get out of any disease with the right belief.

David: That's empowering, that's very empowering.

Tim: Okay loving thoughts hmm.

Bruce: Well I want to thank everybody in New Zealand it's my 10th year and I tell you being a refugee from the United States at this moment I so appreciate\n this country and I also recognize it will be a leader in world changes as we're experiencing right now because as a country that's still dependent\n on community and our evolution has always been based on the individual the Darwinian beliefs survival of the fittest the individual when we learn now\n that the whole belief of Darwin is wrong it's survival of the community and there's New Zealand. Thank you.

David: And it's interesting that Jacinda Ardern has been called the anti-Trump.

Bruce: Oh I tell you that was a magnet that pulls me here.

Tim: Regenerative, regenerative that's the way to go. Thank you so much David and thank you so much Bruce and everybody else. On the 24th 25th of March\n here at AUT ...\n

NOW AT QUALITY HOTEL PARNELL, 20 GLADSTONE ROAD, PARNELL. Auckland

in Auckland come and listen to these special human beings. Thank you.

David: Thank you

Bruce: Thank you

Tim: I want to conclude this extremely important interview of two very committed practitioner teachers of the importance of taking care of our body that\n some poetically call our temple complex as it's our body and we are all we have got so our body needs to be revered as a healthy holistic vehicle that\n takes us from our first breath to our last breath that needs to be honored as one of the most profound organisms on our planet.

When we recognize its complexity and intricacy as well as its ability to fully recover from some of the unconscious X meted out especially during our teenage\n years it is imperative that we breathe the most clearest and freshest of air, that our water needs to be the most pure and vital that we can source\n and our food wholesome fresh and organic.

These are the grand trine of keeping your body healthy at optimum levels yes we need some light too to enjoy an illuminated life which is interesting for\n the word for sun in Latin is “sol” which is the heart of our solar system then there is a soul that is a non-physical component or essence that we\n are spiritual beings having an earth experience and this all fits well together with the GreenPlanetFM premise of environment health in consciousness.\n

Because when we have a holistic understanding of our bodily composure and live at heart happily and at peace this is a forerunner towards a conscious dynamic\n heart-centered human who is actually being and doing.

It’s 'Our Place’, to do our thing. Kiwis can put quality-made programmes up on the site. He says it asks of Kiwis “What are you going to DO with this new\n resource? You can MAKE things with this. You don’t have to ask permission” .

Bryan explains the problem with our current NZ media: a producer has to go through the gateways of the commercial television channels who really are trying\n to assess your programme on the one question of : “How big an audience can you bring to the commercial gaps?”.

It has always been thus. And if you’re good at that, then they will buy your next programme. It’s not about how good a programme is, it’s about what kind\n of audience? and how big will it be? to cater to the advertisers in the commercial gaps - and it all comes down to producing money instead of quality.\n Bryan says the main channels are going to self-edit. They're not going to take a programme that is not going to fit well with their sponsors.\n

The other side of it is we tend to think of government - funded broadcasters as being more independent, but that is not true either, because they are not\n going ‘to bite the hand that feeds them’ and stand up to their government money-source.

If mainstream media gets money from a business, then that piper calls the tune.

Bryan then explains that the idea for this came up about 3 years ago when he walked out of TVNZ one day having had it explained to him that his programme\n on health was probably going to get lots of ratings but “Really we’re not necessarily into the business of doing programmes in the public good. They\n have to be commercial because we might sell ourselves off one day” .

Bryan walked out of that building and thought: “ Well, if these guys aren’t going to do NZ public television, maybe I can.”.

Bryan registered a company called ‘NZ Public Television Ltd”, and he talked to friends: “ If you were starting television today, you wouldn’t do it in\n the way that the BBC told us how to do it all those years ago - no big dishes, sky satellites, large building. How would we do it today ?”

He says the answer is clear: we’d use the World Wide Web.

And how would we put our programmes up?

When Bryan talked to servers, they had gleeful visions of making lots of money out of this being a version of Netflix. But Bryan instead saw it as a bus\n station. You, the viewer, come to NZPTV to be pointed in the right direction of a programme that someone else is hosting on Vimeo or YouTube or other\n sites. So NZPTV is a curator of quality programmes with NZ content. He then says that the producers and their websites - the people who own the copyright\n to their own work- will be acknowledged .

At the same time, NZPTV will also make its own programmes and put those up on NZPTV Vimeo and direct viewers to that content also. So Vimeo might be the\n host of a programme but NZPTV will direct traffic there.

At its core, the aim is to work out how to make cost-effective television and then also make it a People’s Channel which says - Look , you might see Bryan\n Bruce or others doing an introduction but it’s not his channel, it’s OUR channel. NZPTV will also help producers. Bryan says he has been to see NZ\n on Air and asked how many eyeballs a week does NZPTV need for independent producers to be able to be funded to make and put their programme up on this\n new platform. “ They couldn’t tell me” he says.

He then states “ This is a new world for them !” NZ on Air don’t know what the numbers might be so NZPTV will educate them on what the numbers CAN be.\n

Bryan then talks of his own motivations in programme making: “What I try to do in a programme is say “ Here’s a problem. How did we get to this? Let’s\n unpack it a bit and look at some solutions”. That’s where hope arises - rather than leave people in a dark place with overwhelming negative story-telling\n “

When he made ‘The Investigator’, each case involved some element of The Law that needed further examination - for example- David Tamihere was identified\n while wearing handcuffs outside the courtroom . Was this a correct identification? And what are the rules for identifying someone? The Defence said\n this was unfair. The Court allowed it- so now there are new rules that apply to each of us. Bryan also says when making a programme it’s important\n that you’re not just doing it because ‘crime rates’. Why are you upsetting people and going through all of this misery again for the families that\n were involved for no good reason?

So Bryan says he encourages producers to ask ‘Why am I making this? What is the outcome I want to have from it?”.

Then he asks the big question that we all need to ask. “ Who owns the media now? Who owns the way that our attitudes and our opinions and our thoughts\n about life are formed?” .

The Big Questions to ask are “ Who-How-What-Where-Why”. He says those questions are often not being asked in journalism today. “ It worries me. I watch\n reporters ask very simple questions - even, are you having a nice day ?”.

Bryan sees Free Media and True Democracy as connected .

At the start of the last century, the total number of people you could address verbally was on a street corner through megaphone. But the end of the 20th\n Century, you could address the whole world through the various media and now with the internet, you can reach places that don’t even have broadcast\n facilities but have telephone lines. “If you can control the means of talking to people, whether for your private ends or for the government’s ends,\n that’s a lot of power. That’s actually a means of accumulating power.\"

And now what NZPTV does is give the power BACK to the People and says “ YOU are in control of the stories” .

This is a Wake Up. it’s more than just a channel. “ We’ll grow as much as the People want to do it. My call is out to independent producers. Our gateway\n is much wider than any of the public or private broadcasters. You can come to us with a programme provided that it is professionally made , something\n you might see on a commercial channel in terms of its quality of production. For example, if you have made a programme about the TPPA or Water Issues,\n and you’ve done your homework and kept to the Broadcasting Standards Authority issues of fairness and balance .

He then explains balance in the context of his programme 'Jesus, the Cold Case' which was criticised because Bryan talked to certain theologians but not\n others. He says that the ‘balance’ is that, on any given day, a viewer can turn to the Christian channels and hear the opposite view.

It’s equally so for NZPTV, which would make sure that, with a controversial programme, then somewhere there is the counter view shown, or NZPTV itself\n would run the counter view so the viewer could see both sides.

He then states, that it’s not true to say there are NO editing gateways to go through, but they relate more to the legal ones- you cannot defame people\n , and if it’s an argument for one viewpoint, it must be well though out , or if it’s science-based, it must be peer -reviewed.

NZPTV is not going to say to a producer “ It doesn’t quite fit with our sponsors” (because there are no sponsors of the channel)- or “It doesn’t quite\n fit with our ‘brand’ “ (which is commonly heard in Mainstream Media ).

In fact The NZPTV ‘Brand’ is Independence ! “If it fits with that, we should have it “.

Bryan then underlines that “If we don’t hold on to life rafts like this , we’re all going to drown”. That public education has taught questioning and yet\n we have a media that tried to manipulate people who are actually very intelligent .

“I’m always amazed at the wisdom that comes out of people from whom, at face value, you wouldn’t assume that wisdom”. He continues and gives an anecdote\n from a programme he made called “Stand By Your Man’ about three women whose partners had committed major crimes. “And she said “ They never fixed his\n drug and alcohol addiction - and that was his problem.” And you’re just about to move from this interviewee, when suddenly they come out with this\n absolutely insightful gem about what we’re NOT doing for men or women in prison. We’re not addressing the issues that have led to them being IN there!”

Then Bryan outlines that one of the ways that governments gain power over us is: if they don’t collect data on, for example, how much Chinese money is\n coming in to the country, then they can pretend it isn’t a problem. No one knows! “ Oh”, they say “it’s all just anecdotal. You’re just bashing the\n Chinese”.

Bryan says \"NO! I’m saying: let’s collect the data! You’re giving away visas to very wealthy people - gold visas. If you have ten million you can\n buy a residency in our country . But what are these people DOING for our country ? And where is that money going ?”. And the answer comes back from\n the government: “I’m sorry we don’t know because we don’t follow the money trail” . He then suggests that one of the roles for NZPTV is to encourage\n independent producers to pick a topic, investigate it, and bring us the data that the government is not collecting because it’s' inconvenient ‘. “The\n last thing that governments want is inconvenient truths”.

Evidence shows that if you DO your homework and collate the data, then policy changes” .

This interview also covers the effect of his programme ‘Inside Child Poverty” which went out on TV3 the week of the election in 2011. \"There was a debate\n about whether it should have been screened in election week, driven by right wing commentators like Sean Plunkett who said Bryan Bruce should not be\n funded to make programmes like this! Then a marvellous thing happened. The National Government which had initially said “ This is made up by a left\n wing journalist”, then started to change its tune and admitted “ Well it might exist but we can’t measure it”. Then the Children’s Commissioner Russell\n Wills said “ Ok, I’ll get a group off academics together and we WILL measure it” They put out an amazing report. It could not be ignored any more.\n The word “child poverty’ became part of our vernacular. And by the NEXT election it was an election issue” .

So Bryan uses this example to say that this is what we can do as media people: we can investigate, we can collate data, we can inspire people. He credits\n The Child Poverty Action Group with inspired him to make the programme . He says they had been doing their work for years and he thought “ Well maybe\n I have few skills in terms of taking complicated things and trying to make them understandable - and that was my role. Something like 580 thousand\n Kiwis watched that programme and then the Public started asking questions. I had offered the programme to TVNZ and I seem to remember someone saying\n “ Who’s going to watch a programme with ‘Poverty’ in the title?” ( and 580,000 viewers is up there with All Black fixture numbers in terms of ratings\n ) “ .

This new media initiative, Bryan says of the NZPTV, is that it is not competitive - but rather, co-operative. “We could make a programme that is of great\n public interest and make it in a dynamic way. We could take the online rights and a mainstream media outlet could take the broadcast rights. That would\n be an adult way of dealing with different kinds of distribution.“

He further states that it is no accident, that one of the longest running programmes in this country is called ‘Fair Go’. He feels that deep down, most\n Kiwis believe in a fair go and many of felt terribly betrayed by 1984 and the adoption of Neo Liberalism and being told it was the only way we could\n go. “ Well it wasn’t, there are about 30 different kinds of capitalism in the world and if you look at what happened in Scandinavia, they took a deep\n breath and paused - and then they adopted certain elements ONLY. They fenced off policies to do with children, the elderly and housing, and then they\n said they would allow OTHER policy to be more entrepreneurial .

Whereas in New Zealand, the government said “ ALL of that is wrong and this new evangelistic way is right, and there is now only ONE way to do this”.

Bryan cites David Lange’s book which shows he later realised this was the worst thing he did. In fact, he may not have fully understood it and “ To be\n fair, I’m not sure that many of us understood it at the time. I certainly didn’t” says Bryan. “ I did up one house and sold and got a better house.\n What I didn’t think about was that 20 years down the track, other people’s children would not be able to afford a house because of what I was doing\n - and many of us were doing. We were just doing the best by our families and we were encouraged to think that that’s what you should do.

Even Roger Douglas may have thought he was doing the right thing. I’ve never spoken to him. I’d like to interview him. But the reality is; it WASN”T the\n right thing. It created a HUGE inequality. When the National Party came in afterwards and created The Mother of All Budgets under Ruth Richardson,\n then ALL of the childhood diseases that relate to poverty, skyrocketed. And that’s nothing to be proud of. That should have told anybody who had social\n concern that there is something fundamentally wrong with this economic system that is creating this.”

Towards the end of the interview, Bryan discusses the structure of NZ Public Television.

Saying one of the ways it will benefit producers who have good product, is that they give that programme to NZPTV for free for 7 days and then it goes\n to the ‘Pay Per View’ section . But all that money goes directly to the producers, not to NZPTV. (This is also a reminder to viewers to check the weekly\n offerings on NZPTV as there is a brisk turnaround of programmes).

Finally Bryan says the whole idea of New Zealand Public Broadcasting is to return to an early idea of television: namely , using it to communicate with\n one another, to talk to each other.

Graeme Sait is originally from Taranaki and has spent most of his life away from NZ as a global leader, and the question is asked, can one man make a difference?\n Is it possible that one person’s knowledge and enthusiasm can produce a counter tipping point to farming and land management - into a new upcycle.\n One where in a few short years, soil across our whole country can be revitalized, rivers, lakes and aquifers cleaned up, less livestock, (cows) needed\n but enabling far higher productivity? More Co2 from the atmosphere being sequestered by the microflora, the mega trillions of bacteria and fungi that\n live and comprise the soil? Resulting in more sustainability across the ecosphere?

Why? Because science is belatedly realising that the answer is found in the soil - healthy soil.

Graeme Sait, is the co-founder of Qld Company, Nutri-Tech Solutions (NTS), a recognised world\n leader in sustainable agriculture/horticulture. He is a sought after, global keynote speaker, plus was the founder of Radiance, the 6 day Wellness\n Festival in Queensland that attracted crowds in excess of 12,000. He has many years of researching health and wellbeing and the benefits of all the\n correct foods especially fats and oils to teas, herbal remedies plus soil health agricultural systems and biological farming etc.

Soil microflora and fungi

Learn of the profound interdependence of soil microflora of bacteria and fungi that is crucial to plant growth, healthy soil (and sequesting Co2 from the\n atmosphere). Just like the micro flora in our gut and digestive system, when we are free of chemical additives, everything flourishes and comes back\n into balance.

There's a grassroots revolution taking place as we read and its emergent principles are so profound that it is ushering in sweeping, positive changes to\n land use, farming and market gardening practices to our beleaguered planet, Mother Earth.

This most refreshing and insightful interview covers minerals, soil bacteria, fungi to plant health, that extends to vegetation, animal and ultimately\n to human health. Not quite organic, it however, leads us back into the organic world.

A vision for agriculture and human health

His inspirational vision for agriculture and human health has been documented in over 300 published articles and he is currently completing three new books,\n covering this vast subject. A much sought after, entertaining and informative speaker, Graeme has inspired audiences all over the world.

Global warming emissions and acidification of the oceans can be mitigated by conscious use of soil bacteria, soil carbon and humous and if we use appropriate\n knowhow found in biological agriculture … astounding possibilities not mentioned in mainstream media will give the youth (and all people of\n our planet) a much needed boost in morale and optimism.

Biological agriculture success stories

In South Africa, the uptake of biological agriculture is expanding at near exponential rates as farmers witness the viability and in particular the yields\n from healthy soil of vital healthy produce. Lead by Woolworths 460 supermarkets nationwide, they only source fresh food from certified Biological farmers\n and producers.

Listen to the profound biological agricultural changes happening with Dole the world's largest producer and marketer of high-quality fresh fruit on the\n astounding shifts within this corporation that are happening at this very moment.

And in Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, having saturated the land with chemical and toxic agriculture, and the resulting highest percentage of cancers per\n head of population anywhere, are just now, changing course into biological agriculture.

Having personally witnessed two of Graeme's presentations myself, you will come away totally inspired to far better health practices, plus a greater respect\n for nature and the depth of knowledge this man has regarding physical health and well being.

His many interviews on GreenplanetFM.com - cover such a range of subject matter - it is so huge and compelling.\n
\n

Covering the cause of the top diseases such as heart, cancer, diabetics, alzheimers and chronic fatigue, to cod liver oil's superb results, as well as\n coconut oil, the use (or non use) of cooking oils to mineral up-take, plus dumping your microwave oven, to no tilling of your home garden to the incredible\n results of rotation of cows grazing on pasture is the big story of the future … the list goes on.

Soil health - The Holy Grail?

The holy grail is soil health, based on bacteria, fungi, earthworms in concert with nature and reciprocity is the essence of this biological approach to\n producing healthy food.

WHY?

Farming over the last 60 years plus, has been based on the mistaken analysis in the 19th century of plant growth and that NPK, nitrogen, phosphorous and\n potassium were basically perceived as all that plants needed to utilize to grow, when in fact there are 74 mineral compounds that are all part of whole\n growth. However, western man has been full-on into unbalancing the soil to where we today have unhealthy soil structure, basically depleted in the\n other 71 minerals, with far less soil bacteria and fungi, resulting in unhealthy plants, animals and now humans - all due to factory farming, extractive\n agriculture and an increasingly toxic chemical ideology.

Fortunately, this is finally changing.

An inspiring interview regarding our collective future.

Liz Gunn and Lisa Er took time this week to korero about the state of the nation and the ways in which New Zealanders can educate ourselves about our\n country and our world.

(A korero is a conversation or a discussion.)

Sadly, the wider research on our country’s current poverty and homelessness, on our record suicide numbers, on the widening gap between the haves and\n the have nots, can have the sense of a litany of failures . There are many reasons to feel discouraged.

BYPASS MAINSTREAM MEDIA

Yet the freedoms offered by the internet, and online (and radio) discussion, can offer a way through this sense of overwhelm.

Lisa and Liz discuss the ways in which to become more informed and to find the courage to question the norms and the prevailing viewpoints often sold\n to us through media acolytes of the government viewpoint. From there, it’s rewarding to become actively involved - by each of us making our own\n contributions, in our own corners of this country we love.

Liz talks of her work with the homeless on our streets and Lisa refers to the nurturing of a system of values as a bedrock for political and societal\n decision-making.

Perhaps the biggest issue coming in to the election is the need to find the passion to stand up and to speak out. Certainly that is the spirit in the\n studio when Lisa and Liz meet for their discussions.

ISSUES

One can see on social media much distress about the poverty in New Zealand, lack of housing, homelessness, and frustration about the state of our rivers\n and lakes.

There are those who passionately want change, to cannabis laws, 1080 drops, fluoride in our water, and the banking system. Others want to ensure that\n our food is safe and labelled, and that genetic engineering is not let out into the environment.

Education and health figure strongly in the list of concerns that people have. Some people concentrate on single issues and become experts, and others\n view the issues from a bigger picture.

However all of the above, and more, need to be included in the discussions we have, especially before the elections. Unfortunately the mainstream media\n tends to focus on leaders and not on policy so some people feel disinclined to vote.

Corruption is another issue that people find hard to accept but as Nicky Hager show us in his two latest books, “Dirty Politics”, and “Hit and Run”,\n we need to be very awake and aware.

HOPE

Both Liz and Lisa hope that joining in with this korero - through your own listenership - will nurture passion in each valued listener, and bring the\n simmering fire in your belly to life in a burning blaze of thoughtful discussion on the main aspects of New Zealand life that need to be improved\n .

Such outspokenness will lend an urgency to pre-election build-up, and may even inspire our families - and especially our young - to sign up as voters,\n and speak up as Kiwis.

Being sensitive to our bodily responses.

Have you ever intuitively tuned into your gut when in a situation where there may be danger, or a sense of risk?

Well, scientists have finally realised that there is a connection to a gut brain - and of course we have known that there has been a connection to the\n heart brain for many years now - when Joseph Chilton Pearce mentioned\n it 40 years ago.

Science finally makes the connection.

After many years of seemingly disconnected research, scientists in Australia have pieced together much more of the disparate data on the human body to\n realise that embedded deeply with us all, are specific organs of intelligence.

This research has substantiated this gut brain and come out with a process called ‘multiple braining’ and there is quite possibly more of these brains\n embedded in the human body.

We have been using our brains for seemingly ages when unknowingly we have been receiving mixed responses because “they have been working incongruently\n against each other. - “them as against them” where you get varied signals.

Remember the statement, I had a gut feeling, or I felt it in my gut. Or my heart said Yes and my head said No!

Thus when we bring all three ‘brains’ into alignment - other deeper possibilities come into being.

There is now a two-minute practice that allows us to bring all three ‘m brains’ to align together - where you can have a win win win situation because all brains will be synchronised and working together.

With more research future findings that will probably show that the ‘Vegas nerve’ will be a brain and possibly the 'reproduction system' will have a brain\n as well.

Plus a learned process to being able to align them further.

So this is a new modality, with plenty of room for far more research so as to develop it a lot further.

The practitioners involved in this new modality have a keenness to really advance this science into assisting the growth of consciousness.

These ‘M braining’ trainers and master trainers - ask this question every day - ‘How can I be the most compassionate, creative, courageous self today?’

Compassionate being related to the heart, creativity, to the brain and courageousness aligns to the gut. Thus by first aligning all brains through a simple\n exercise they become far more congruent and intuitively there life processes tend to be more harmonious and successful, due to one’s - ‘mindfulness’.

Too much happening in the outside world.

In today’s world, stress is a major escalating global problem and with it can come addictions - that for many they fall into, thinking that drink and drugs\n can give us some sort of temporary relief.

Then there is an increase in ‘screen’ addiction - people staring into screens including pornography and now more drama - plus distractions.

The big one - the lack of self love, especially for the young - they can give out to other people but they unable receive love for themselves\n - there is too much self-depreciation to the extent that so many young people are doing self harm to themselves.

In this interview Vivienne tells of the health benefits especially the psychological advantages that can be readily gained, once we become aware of this\n new understanding.

There is a lot more in this interview that will instil in you a wider knowing that will assist you in your daily life. Especially leaving you marvelling\n as we decode the subtle layers of the human body, in that there is indeed a deeper level of being - yet to be unveiled.

For those of you intuitively living at the frontier of mind body relationships m-braining opens up possibilities that takes us into realms never thought\n possible.

In this interview Dr Guy Hatchard addresses this and explains how plants animals and humans have evolved together and how our gut is made to digest natural products better than synthetic ones. He is an absolute mine of information around this, the Gaia principle and quantum physics.\n

Dr Guy Hatchard was formerly the Natural Health Products director at Genetic ID, a global food testing company. He now runs the Natural Food Commission\n to inform the public about the benefits of traditional natural medicine and the dangers of food regulation. Working with industry and natural health\n practitioners, he has organised a campaign to oppose the Natural Health Products Bill which is in the queue for its final reading in parliament.\n

Alliance against this Bill

An alliance of Natural Products companies, doctors, and affected individuals are mounting a legal challenge to the provisions of the Natural Health Products\n bill.

The government is planning to present the Natural Health Products Bill for its final reading shortly with provisions that resemble the original bill, the\n Theraputic Goods Act, which was abandoned in the face of huge public opposition. The Ministry of Health has already begun to implement the bill’s anticipated\n provisions. Analysis of the latest version of the bill released on 15th March shows it will greatly disadvantage traditional medicine affecting the\n health care choices of tens of thousands of NZers. However as opposition to this bill is mounting, government has pushed it down on the order paper\n in parliament. This is an opportunity to provide more opposition, which as you listen to the interview and read below, you will see is most necessary!

A Draconian Law

In 2011, the Government and the Green Party promised a law that would encourage the use of Natural Health Products alongside conventional medicine as a\n precursor to an integrated, science-based approach to health. Instead the law has emerged from the corridors of power as a draconian and restrictive\n approach which is very different from the integrative approach to medicine which is beginning to flourish overseas.

1) The Bill has adopted a list of 5500 controlled substances from Australia and Canada which means that its provisions are similar to the Trans Tasman\n Therapeutic Products Agreement proposed in 2006 which was later abandoned after being roundly rejected by the NZ public.

2) Because the permitted natural ingredient list contains approximately 3000 chemicals and synthetics in addition to herbs; it will allow products labelled\n as natural to contain synthetic additives thereby debasing the meaning of the word natural, which will confuse and disadvantage the public.

3) It enshrines in law the idea that serious illness cannot be benefited by Natural Health Products despite the growing scientific evidence published around\n the world that nutrition and traditional medicines can have a huge beneficial impact on cancers, heart disease, digestive and respiratory illness,\n and other chronic illness.

4) It restricts free speech about the health benefits of food and introduces chilling penalties of up to $250,000 for those who communicate the benefits\n of natural products without first obtaining Government permission.

5) It places pharmaceutical regulators with no interest or expertise in natural health in charge of our food and health choices. These same people will\n adjudicate on traditional Ayurvedic, Chinese, Maori, and herbal systems of medicines. This is contrary to assurances given by the Hon. Jonathan Coleman\n to Parliament that Medsafe would not administer the Bill and product suppliers would be able to self-certify compliance.

6) The Government has tried to justify the Bill by saying that it will ensure the safety of the public, but no evidence of risk has been presented. It\n fact evidence shows it is far more dangerous to go out to eat in a restaurant or consume a bowl of salad at home than it is to take a Natural Health\n Product. Therefore there is no justification for introducing pharmaceutical style regulations.

7) It is a Henry VIII Bill, containing enabling and regulatory provisions which allow the Ministry of Health to take decisions for any reasons it believes\n to be relevant. This is poorly written legislation which is open to abuse, misunderstanding and litigation.

8) It contains a clause which prevents unfairly treated individuals and firms from asking a court of law to uphold the safeguards contained in the Bill.\n The only redress available is to ask the Authority to reconsider its decisions. This will frustrate justice and enable the Authority to ignore matters\n of fact.

9) Because there has been no credible attempt to rationalise the provisions of the Natural Health Products Bill with the Medicines Act 1981 and the Food\n Bill, it contains a hidden mechanism to allow pharmaceutical companies to gain effective patents over health giving traditional herbs which has already\n been exploited in Australia and will now be available here.

10) It wastes money and resources on restricting the natural health choices of the public, while serious and growing problems such as childhood obesity,\n hypertension, ADHD, and anxiety, which are largely caused or complicated by poor diet and nutrition, are almost completely ignored.

11) It places an additional huge cost on the natural health products industry through onerous regulations and charges which will increase the cost of products\n and likely ensure small and even medium sized companies have to go out of business as happened in Australia where dozens of firms have been forced\n to close their doors and traditional medicine suppliers have all but disappeared.

12) It allows unhealthy foods and products including tobacco, sugary drinks, and alcohol to continue to be sold, while restricting healthy choices. How\n irresponsible is this, and what a complete waste of resources?

Guy has made videos explaining his concerns, including this one, on the new global restrictions on Natural Health products.

Jodie grew up to lose both parents due to cancer and she herself, developed hyperthyroidism and had to take medication that left her lacking in energy.

She didn’t really get her brain and life back until when she saw a herbalist – then her mind started to clear and she started looking at nutrition – which\n lead to cleaning up her diet.\n
\n

It was a slow process because she was still fatigued and tired with two young children though getting better all the time. Having a Degree in Agribusiness\n she has had a keen interest in food production. But realised that industrial factory farming was denaturing food.

Supermarket foods

Supermarket foods today are problematic as there are so many ‘snack bargains’ available and in many ways we are reluctant or unable to address this addictive\n behaviour. Mainstream media is basically failing in addressing this due to vested interests and advertising revenue from the ‘food’ industry. Especially\n in relation to very recent new chemicals being introduced into food, since most of these chemicals were not around 20 years ago and thus we were not\n eating them way back then.\n
\n

Michael Moore the documentary maker in the US has put on record how big food researchers, explore ‘crave-ability’ and scan people’s brains to see the dopamine\n spurt when exposed to certain food, - how it sounds and tastes - as scientists want to know what is going on at deeper levels within our brain using\n hard science.\n
\n

The addiction’s are more than sugar, they are carbohydrates – wheat, potatoes and salt in that mix – and we are not addressing the addictive nature of\n these foods. Because to the snack food industry - with addictive foods, you will always get a repeat purchase.\n
\n

The other fact of the matter is - that Main Stream Media ‘MSM’ in many cases state that chronic illness that’s in the world today - has a genetic factor\n – when it could actually be up to 85% plus related to diet and exposures and we know that most exposures comes in through the mouth.\n
\n

That wheat may have two fungicide treatments and insecticide treatments, plus it will have a coating before it sprouts into a plant (see neonicotinoids)\n but there is no scientific research on all of this.\n

Plus, there are chemicals in bread to keep it as fresh as possible. Including the possibility of soy and corn products – as seen on a great amount of supermarket\n food packaging and many of these may have been derived from GMO sources as well.\n
\n

Most mum’s will possibly only read one article every few years to warn them of what is in food – but it usually happens only when a child becomes ill,\n or the parents go down with an ailment, will they then start to look at what they are eating – meanwhile their life becomes very stressful and they\n suffer a drop in energy – losing momentum for vibrant living and well being.

We need an active and diverse media in NZ but regrettably this it is not happening. That we have to wake up to the fact that we do not have ‘conscious’\n media in NZ - especially covering the multiple interrelationships around products and their safety.

What is the Government doing?

Governments are supposedly to be trusted, however we are rapidly noticing that they are not taking the electorate into consideration when once they did.\n There are fiduciary obligations that should not be breached.

The NZEPA - Environmental Protection Authority is poorly funded (just like in the USA where it is deliberately underfunded) That the NZ EPA, just can not keep up with the onslaught of chemicals\n and new products and flora and fauna entering NZ that they just can not research and check out prior to being allowed into our environment or market\n place.

Plus, with trade and the need for the economic wheels to keep turning – there has become a slow compromise of standards, as overworked EPA can not keep\n up with their responsibilities and activity that is continuously increasing. This is because the guidelines - the protocols that the scientists have\n to asses, in this case pesticides are both outdated and have an exceptionally narrow focus.\n
\n

This has resulted in that ‘we’ are not engaging in the in-depth studies of insecticides, pesticides and fungicides. They are NOT LOOKING at the full formulation.\n Most farmers know that the full formulation is more toxic. None of these full formulations when sprayed on a crop, are looked at from a combined formulation.\n They are all only looked at separately. This means that when you mix all the effects of herbicides, insecticides and fungicides together - the accumulative\n effect of all three - have a knock on effect that has not been researched or studied.\n
\n

So we have an underfunded Government scientific institution given a contract with very limited scope that they ‘only stay within the parameters of what\n they have been given to study.’ They are not told to look outside these areas – so they are not really looking out for the public good, for in many\n ways the perception is they are just ticking the boxes.\n
\n

Therefore we have children today being exposed to a huge onslaught of chemicals (Remember the slogan Clean Green NZ) – plus the sugar load – no wonder\n our children are become sicker at a younger age due to this toxic overload - especially from wheat products. So though we seem to live longer (with\n more drugs to keep us alive) we are having more young becoming ill as a result to all these chemical exposures.\n
\n

Note, that the biotech corporations give the Government their specs and data and there are definitely limitations with the data offered, solely because\n they want to get their product onto the market as soon as possible and they are not always forthcoming with data that could compromise them.\n
\n

Doctors are not able to speak out as ‘big Pharma’ is looking over their every move and doctors risk losing their license if they become critical of the\n chemicals that are persuasive in the food chain. As a result doctors in NZ are 15 years behind with what is truly going on. They are doing their best,\n but without Government sanctioning of top quality, honest food education, their task in many ways is like being the ambulance at the bottom of the\n cliff.\n
\n

There is a need for honest Government talking about clean food – no junk food advertising – that we are today so far from a responsible Government.\n
\n

The 2016 NZ Government Health Strategy came out recently but it was more like a communication strategy talking about prevention but they never mentioned\n what prevention was - they never talked about clean food or the tsunami of sugar addiction.

This interview mentions the challenges to communicate to NZers, especially mothers about ‘good practice’ and safe eating and it is a huge task - as most\n magazines sell the sizzle - the hype of fancy dishes looking and smelling tempting and delicious. Not their health contents.\n
\n

Mothers are endeavoring to share and use FaceBook to communicate their needs and it is not helping parents fast enough to find the answers because they\n are often looking in the wrong place - when the game is to simply clean up your eating act and take in more organic produce that has never been sprayed\n or been fed chemicals. MSM – just won’t go there. (Just like in the USA)

Glyphosate

That Glyphosate is sprayed now on our pastures and it’s on our food crops, on our pathways, it’s in our drains, along our roadsides, around our parks and\n no Council is testing for ‘Roundup’s - glyphosate in the groundwater – ‘none’ nor are they looking for it in our drains, creeks and river systems –\n WHY?\n
\n

Even Monsanto’s studies in Europe have found it in Europe’s groundwater and river systems.\n
\n

Recently 41 Green MP’s from 14 countries in the European Union were tested for Glyphosate in their urine and all 41 averaged 4 times the allowable amount\n for the EU and the Green MPs would eat and drink more organic food than the average European, by far.

We are just not looking at the fungicides and insecticides and the run-off from the land into the drains, creeks and rivers – So the question being asked\n is - where is the hard science testing for all these chemicals and the cumulative effects of them?\n
\n

Most farmers are not told of the hidden dangers especially of the cumulative effect. Only when insects, bird and marine life become affected will we see\n that this matches the ill health that children are starting to be impacted by.\n
\n

There is hidden secret science that is being kept from us because MSM are basically in the hands of big business.\n
\n

Is Glyphosate in NZ milk products? Evidently no one in NZ is using the ‘latest leading edge technology’ to test for glyphosate in milk\n that has passed through the mammalian system.

See Monica Kruger – European study http://www.gmoevidence.com/dr-kruger-glyphosate-is-toxic-to-dairy-cows/\n

Basically science and the systems that the NZ Government have set up are failing people in NZ, and by default overseas buyers of our produce?\n
\n

Note that Glyphosate can be sprayed on wheat crops – so do some research yourself.\n
\n

As well as oil seeds – canola and your vegetable oils like soy used in convenience foods most are GMO’s and have been sprayed with Roundup.

Baby formulas and infant formulas, become very problematic when there is no robust testing.\n
\n

In the NZ dairy industry – we need transparent protocols because Glyphosate is being used on NZ pastures before stock is grazed on it. NZ farmers are being\n TOLD that it is SAFE – so when one day the newsflashes on at 6PM screaming out that overseas somewhere - tests have found glyphosate in the milk –\n we can then look to Monsanto’s scientists for accountability.

This could be impacting animal health, sperm and egg levels causing deformities – we have not seen the tests.

Bread – what is it doing to us and our children?\n
\n

Because of chemicals in our food we can not always see what’s actually happening in our food. Because anti fungicides keep the fungus at bay, same as preservatives\n in meat - stop it from spoiling early. We have to become far more aware.\n
\n

Safer regulation makes for safer food – the EU has good regulation\n
\n

ERPA in NZ is much closer to trade based interests than to Mothers …\n
\n

Europe has recently made a recommendation in regard to Roundup and Glyphosate based herbicides that it should not be sprayed on food crops anymore and\n the major adjuvants or ingredients in the formulation – called POEA – should be taken out of Roundup and it should never be used around parks and where\n children congregate or play.

These recommendations are light years ahead of the NZ EPA and country wide regulations.

How do we get the message out?

Talk with your friends over a cup of tea and coffee, at cafes, at school events, at sports in weekends.

Use FB appropriately plus link to good alternative media and be adroit - put your needs out among your friends.\n
\n

Web search – put blog in front and after a few pages of commercial posts you get to some very interesting info\n
\n

Listen to Ted talks or other programs – even GPFM.\n
\n

When it comes to children eating industrial farmed food we are at present in a global emergency.\n
\n

It is that developing babies, to infants, to children all the way up through their teens whose health is in balance. This is the critical time in the formation\n of all of their organs and growing body.

For adults it is different we are in essence fully formed so it is not as critical when compared to growing children.\n
\n

So the imperative is to get organised to make sure we have a healthy future for all children and grandchildren.\n

The other confirmed that there is a fast growing healthy, non chemical, biological revolution of farming and horticulture happening across the rural face of NZ and beyond.
If this interview was played over Radio New Zealand’s nationwide network it would have mothers of babies and children in uproar. \n
\n

First: Is Glyphosate ‘slowly’ killing everything it comes into contact with, including humans? The statistics are saying yes!

The research being collated from all around our planet is confirming a coming nightmare. It is looking grim for most biota. That means you and your family,\n animals and vegetation including the elements of air, soil and water.\n
\n

Regrettably, it looks like the unbridled avarice and corruption of the biotech corporations especially Monsanto, with their unscrupulous insiders - in\n allowing this cleverly disguised toxin into the sacredness of the world’s environment - is having a devastating affect on all planetary biota.\n
\n

Second: There is a powerful yet quiet revolution happening across NZ (and globally) that farmers horticulturists and market gardeners\n have realised that there is another unique way of growing healthy food, without chemicals, called ‘biological agriculture’ that is rapidly gaining\n prominence over the chemical agribusiness that is taking down our country’s clean green image. (if we really had one)

That New Zealander Graeme Sait, American Arden Andersen and Australian Christine Jones,\n among many others have been at the forefront of introducing this methods to the world (all three have been interviewed on GreenplanetFM).\n
\n

Thus, we have come to an important shift of perspective and of action. We are crossing over into a new paradigm not only in land management and connection,\n but to one of a new consciousness in our relationship to all planetary biota.\n
\n

Phyllis who comes from California has a degree in Environmental Planning and Management with emphasis on soils and Ag economics, and worked for the State of California in ministerial level positions in energy conservation policy, municipal waste, hazardous waste management and coastal regulation. She is now based here in the Hawkes Bay NZ.
\n

When in America, she met and married a NZer who was studying for his graduate degree in ecology and his focus was on the regulation of pesticides and insecticides and their affect on all levels of the environment, biota and ultimately the food chain. Thus with her environmental credentials plus her husband’s PhD in ecology she has embedded a very good understanding of how the environment is being saturated by chemical pesticides and insecticides.\n
\n

Her ongoing focus has continued to cover the situation of soil, microbes, water and that extends into human health and what it’s doing in particular to\n our gut bacteria and the increasing understanding of microflora that inhabits our stomach and intestines.\n
\n

Over the last 20 years, this has been a major theme that she has continued to deepen her understanding of the connection between soil fertility and environmental\n health where she has branched out and has her own business based in True Health an animal remedies firm. Where she imports specially made up certified\n organic tinctures - plant based extracts to act as alternatives to antibiotics so as to assist farmers to wean their farm animals off antibiotics.\n She has a small farm on highly mineralised, high brix soils with diverse pastures with her cows producing high saturated fats, including cholesterol\n that when taken appropriately she says are very helpful for the human body.\n
\n

She has spent a lot of time with biological agriculture exponents Graeme Sait and Arden Andersen who are at the fore-front of a farming phenomena where\n they are doing brix tests on soils and remineralising them, bringing about healthy microflora especially fungi and bacteria including earthworm populations.\n Leading to healthy rapid vegetation growth. Thus doing away with chemicals fertilisation and applications.\n
\n

In South Africa, where Graeme has a huge following pulling in very large crowds to his talks and field days he has had Woolworths the supermarket chain (not to be confused with the Australian & New Zealand group) through their 500 plus stores switch over to only sourcing food and produce from biological farmers under the name of “Farming for the Future, a holistic approach.”\n
\n

In this interview, Phyllis clearly covers the major benefits of biological farming, having brought Graeme Sait to NZ for numerous courses where hundreds\n of NZ farmers attend and many more have now switched across to biological methods. This is where the soil is well mineralised and balanced, becoming\n more microbially alive and diverse and producing more pasture. What this method leads too is better quality and healthy fruit and vegetable that store\n well, taste great and have higher mineral and vitamin content (higher Brix)\n
\n

This means higher dissolved solids which indicates that the food is going to be better for us.

By creating food from the soil up that heals people, that nourishes them deeply not just fulfills a hunger - but that they have the mineral building blocks\n to createthe enzymes and the tissues withintegrity - that actually translates into full and optimal health.\n
\n

However, statistics from around the world are showing that the percentage of vitamins and minerals in our food are decreasing at an alarming rate. This\n decline is continuing and it has been linked to orthodox farming practices due the way we have been fertilising the soil and applying insecticides\n and herbicides to foliage. What this has been doing, in the words of Graeme Sait, we have been ‘bombing the microbe bridge’ that allows minerals to\n be absorbed by the plant in their ideal and proper forms. This is why plants are becoming too weak to be able to produce their own ability to repel\n insects and the more we farm in this archaic method, the more chemicals and sprays will be used as we embark down a slippery slope of poor soils, unhealthier\n vegetation and higher costs to both the the land, the farmer and consumer.\n
\n

Healthy soils and healthy plants result in the plants being able to repel pests because they are so strong and robust. We need to know that all plants\n are medicinal as well as producers of food.\n
\n

Protection of the Environment & Protection of Human Health.

If there was leadership in the EPA ‘Environmental Protection Agency’ especially in the USA, we the global consumer would be far more safer and the ecology\n would be too.

However, this is a global phenomenon, most countries have a poor record of making sure biotech companies are up front and legally fulfilling the precautionary\n principle.

With the EPA, a US Government Department it is known as the Global default watchdog of what is allowed out into the environment but it is poorly financed\n and it is deliberately kept to a low budget. This way it leaves the door open to when the large biotech conglomerates like Bayer, Dupont, Syngenta\n and Monsanto want to apply for a product to be released into the environment they are allowed tp submit their own ‘safety’ studies that they paid for\n themselves.\n
\n

Yet time and time again they have posted fraudulent data, or manipulated it or made up the facts, or underplayed the risks that is has been near on farcical\n in many instances.

Now all that needs to be done is for the EPA to charge the applicants a far higher fee so as to employ the numbers and qualified personnel to test on behalf\n of the EPA. For there have been so many instances of even independent labs doing the tests and they have been found out, for fraud and taken to court,\n fined and jailed, but it still goes on solely because of the vastness of what is happening across the USA.\n
\n

From a political science standpoint, which was generally the topic of her husband’s PhD thesis that in the US the EPA which has a global standing has never\n been in a position to be financially able to do the necessary research.\n
\n

So why is the EPA so short of funds to be not able to do thorough testing? Well there is a cosy situation. That politically from the beginning the EPA lacked the quality and caliber of the scientists to evaluate the industry generated safety studies in the first place. The cosy chemical corporate lobbyists are cosy with the chairman of the Senate Agricultural Committee in Congress for example and they make sure that the EPA has a very, very modest budget and they can never really keep up with the industry bought scientists. And it they do, they usually they don’t last very long.\n

So there is a revolving door where the head of the EPA or the head of the US Food and Agriculture or some other regulatory agency happens to have been\n Chief Council for Monsanto for example, that definitely has happened and they put him in charge of approving Genetically Engineered crops in the early\n 1990’s There are multiple examples of someone from the industry been brought in to regulate their previous industry.\n
\n

Unfortunately, this happens time and time again.\n
\n

We now have the ubiquitous use of chemicals globally, remember the DDT spraying of everyone, and then the hurried ban on it? (No, very few do - as mistakes\n are quickly buried and covered up.)\n
\n

The ever present use of herbicides and insecticides globally is having a disturbing effect – not only in the rural sector and farms but now in urban areas\n for parks and pristine home lawns.\n
\n

The conventional NZ farmer /market gardener today are increasingly finding that they are totally incongruent with the precautionary principle, that when\n they awaken in the morning, their thoughts are based on – not what they are going to grow today, but what they are having to kill today? Which becomes\n a full frontal chemical attack of so many different sprays – so the farmers in essence, lose heart in that they are not 100% proud of their produce,\n because they know that it’s covered in poisons - so they can not really hold their head high and be proud.\n
\n

Little does the NZ consumer know that under the auspices of the EPA, the ‘Environmental Protection Agency’ formerly ERMA the Environmental Risk Management\n Authority, that they they seem to have seemingly robust standards, yet they do not adhere to them.\n
\n

As a result - Agriculture has become a killing field instead of a growing field.\n
\n

A New Understanding

In the last 4-5 years there has been a greater public understanding and reconnection across the soils, science, farming and health sector that microbes\n are the key to our planet functioning.\n
\n

In particular, the ‘gut micro biome’ and their community and the health of these are critical to our own health. Which equals a diverse healthy ‘integrated\n micro biome’ be it on our skin, in the water, gut, tissue, blood – we need to have an inner ecology that is a reflection of a healthy outside ecology.\n
\n

Science is today seeing that the human gut microbiome has been seriously compromised by anti-biotics, plus herbicides and insecticides .\n
\n

They are notching that the vegas nerve from our gut microbiome to our brain is increasingly being affected as a result. This affects our mood, thoughts\n and feelings - depending on the state of the health of our gut.\n
\n

Even the risks for alzheimers is increase dramatically. Very few in the Western world have a robust healthy gut.\n
\n

C section births was mentioned too as problematic as babies born of the birth canal are far more able to cope because they picked up antibodies in the\n birth canal journey .

To sort this there is the GAPS diet cleanse that may be able to assist.

Marketing of broad spectrum herbicides:

Round Up and its active ingredient glyphosate is now marketed globally by a great number of companies as a broad spectrum weed killer.\n
\n

It is extremely capable of killing all vegetation other than Monsanto’s GMO or GE ‘Round Up’ – ready, corn, soy and canola and as glyphosate use increases\n every year now - up to between 800,000 and a million tonnes is sprayed annually world wide.\n
\n

It is now in our air, our water, in our food, and when we look into our food, there it is. 10 of the largest wineries in California have found it in their\n bottled wine. So it is now in our bodies and especially our growing babies, infants and children and we have no idea where this is leading us. It is\n also an antibiotic that is having a slow but continuous effect on our gut bacteria. This is just one of the many impacts that Monsanto’s glyphosate\n has.\n
\n

It locks up minerals to the point that it is difficult for our body to get full nutrition. It directly causes infertility in all mammals. It blocks the\n transport of sulphur within our body and it shuts down our body to detoxify environmental toxins – through the cytochrome p4 50 enzyme pathway which\n is part of our liver system for detoxifying chemicals .\n
\n

So not only is glyphosate an antibiotic, but is shuts down our own ability to detoxify glyphosate itself and most other environmental toxins.\n
\n

With the increase of glyphosate we are also correlating an increase in alhzeimers, cancers , breast cancer in particular – non-Hodgkin lymphoma’s and autism\n is the big one.\n
\n

The strongest correlation between glyphosate and Round Up is the marked increase in autism. Autism is related to gut microbiome dysfunction. Plus lack\n of sulphur transport.\n
\n

With plummeting fertility rates too.

Phyllis asked the question – how are we going to function as a society when one out of 6 males in particular, but females as well is autistic and cannot\n function on a normal basis? Specifically - when they need to be reliable, hold down a job, interact with people, this is becoming a huge, huge issue.\n
\n

This Interview then covers the NZ environmental health authorities, previously it was ERMA and now the EPA who have approved every single application for\n a GE or GMO trial in NZ that have come to them.\n
\n

There has been over 60 applications some actually outdoor trials! So out of all of these expensive trials, none of them were commercialisable whilst at\n the same time ran tremendous risks of exposing the NZ environment to GE and GMO ‘constructs ‘ that for all we know could still be in our environment\n - hidden away from us!

The fact that microbes are so small and can quite possibly mutate once they are out there , it is then basically impossible to retrieve them. This is what\n is in supposedly clean green NZ that we were exposed too.\n
\n

Regarding GE & GMO release, note that no insurance company globally is willing to insure in the case of a New Zealand GE or GMO mishap, because the\n liabilities would be so vast and could last to 20 to a hundred years for all we know – so they realise that GMO tests are problematic in the extreme.\n So who carries the can if there is a major mishap? In our country it won’t be the government - who is allowing this to happen, it will be we, the people! \n
\n

Over seas you will notice no country wants to pay a premium for GMO food, not one. Why? Because it lacks quality nutrition and who really knows what is\n embedded in GE food?\n
\n

However, what is becoming very noticeable is that many countries are wanting to pay a premium of non GE & GMO and organic food. The reason is obvious.\n

Organics and Premium Returns

Organics in NZ has had a very bad rap for many years, being manipulated by mainstream media photos and video footage to be seen especially by the people\n living in the rural sector, as a hippy thing or non scientific – this being far from the case.\n
\n

In NZ today, organic dairy farmers are getting $9.20 a kilogram of milk solids as against normal farming of $5.00 – so the conservative NZ dairy farmer\n is dragging his own chains!\n
\n

Phyllis emphatically states that mainstream farmers do not have to wear thongs or jandals or grow a beard to go organic! Or not having to stop wearing\n deodorant!

In the US, organics is really spiking and in the dairy sector too. There is a 20% increase in production per year and it is growing fast especially with\n the growth of organic stores and supermarkets.\n
\n

As consumers we need to vote with our dollars this is critical to where shape our future.\n
\n

High quality high brix food, more regenerative input and biological agriculture are gaining momentum.\n
\n

http://blog.nutri-tech.com.au/the-beauty-of-brix/

She states if we want to involve ourselves and even get angry if that is what it takes to control our food choices then we need to get involved! Create\n a small demo and front up!\n
\n

There are people creating products that are harming us and our babies – so we have to shake ourselves out of our collective stupor and take control of\n what we put in our bodies.\n
\n

We also need a gigantic co-operative organic super-market here in NZ to blow everything open!\n

For the first time in human history the phenomenon of the global population ageing and its impact on social cohesion and economic sustainability is increasing\r\n - and needs to be addressed.

\r\n

The political word for elders is gerantocracy … When soon, older people will be in the majority and we will have to rethink, what democracy is …\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

This interview is about re-languaging, leadership, acknowledgement and the impacting of more people ageing and how we factor them into the full healthy\r\n happy lives.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Covering New Zealand, to China and Japan as well as Europe - now known as super-ageing countries and NZ too, is getting close to becoming a super-ageing\r\n country.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Whereas, Europe has been discussing this issue for 20 years NZ has not. The OECD has been warning us as well.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

For example - In Tauranga a NZ city of 130,000, ageing people are going to be 1 in 3 in ten years time - it is moving faster that we recognise.

\r\n

An engaging interview that everyone in society needs to became aware of - the surge in numbers of people ageing and how are we going to factor the many\r\n variables as well as the costs into this phenomenon.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

This interview covers:

* What population ageing means - fewer young people-more older people living longer.\r\n
* Super-aging nations, changing economies and international responses.\r\n
* New Zealand ageing. Issues, challenges and opportunities - Time to wake up and get over ageism-stop denying the reality.\r\n

\r\n

When we look at Europe especially Greece, but also Portugal, Spain and Italy the populations are basically stagnant, the people are getting older and these\r\n countries are not really growing economically and the people continue to age and expect pensions. Where there is an urgent need for a new economic\r\n formula.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Fortunately, here in NZ, Michael Cullen when he was the Minister of Finance in the Clark Labour Government put in Kiwi Saver and the National Super Fund,\r\n but Carole feels that we need to contribute more to it. We evidently had one of the the top investment companies handling the fund, but when the Key\r\n Government came to power they stopped the investments contributing into that fund - despite the fact that it was/is a good performer.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

At present because the ageing population have very few champions for this demographic, there is virtually no discussion that factors in the growing numbers\r\n of people who are over 60 etc and Carole says we can now include the 50 year olds as well.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

With local government being pushed by central government to open up to more urban sprawl, how will older people who live further out of the city going\r\n to travel to their doctor, physiotherapist or hospital to visit friends or buy food etc - when they have to travel such huge distances and now may\r\n not be allowed to drive? Carole says there is a need for lifetime neighbourhoods or age friendly communities - so that those people can better manage\r\n their lives - instead of struggling to drive in over-full motorways or a poor train network.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

What has happened is Katikati, near Tauranga is an example of people leaving Auckland over the last 10 years, and because it is a good thriving, modern,\r\n country town, with many facilities and good climate, it now has over 40% of its inhabitants over 65 years of age - and that demographic as a possible\r\n future microcosm of NZ - is actually greater than they have in Japan - however Japan because it is the highest ageing country on our planet, has already\r\n planned for these changes and can absorb the changing circumstances.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

The interview also covers ‘social capital’ which is the people and their combined and diverse abilities plus qualities and how can we assist them and their\r\n community to make their area more cohesive and resilient.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Carole has a little mantra which says - “we need to understand what population ageing means - then we need to adapt and then we need to innovate”.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Local Government needs to start factoring in the aged in their 10 year plans and focus on the changing of the demographics - up until now they have been\r\n lacking and their vision.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

For example - In Tauranga a city of 130,000, ageing people are going to be 1 in 3 in ten years time - it is moving faster that we recognise.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

The critical issue is this is demographic denial and she believes that we are not languaging ageing - in that we are not talking about it.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Carol is very strong in calling out the way society talks about the elderly and that the ‘old people are the others’ - separated from society. She says,\r\n they are our people - and they are our families - and they are our grandparents and our parents and they are our elders. That if we deny them we are\r\n also in many ways denying our old age. She feels very passionate that we remain connected on every level as these older people have contributed much\r\n to our communities and our society as a whole.- especially the growth and prosperity of NZ.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

She says the terminology of ‘older people’ needs to be languaged in a new choice of vernacular - using the words ‘mature and older people’ and we have\r\n ‘old and older’ people.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

The last half of life can be purposeful and meaningful, that the baby boomers will never be old they will be pushing the boundaries at many levels.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

We are coming into the ‘No Age Society.’\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Our Future:\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

The longevity economy or the silver economy - is expected to grow globally by $15 trillion by 2020 and in NZ from 1$1.5 billion from 2011 to $65 billion\r\n in 2050 and you will never read or hear about this in the media or from politicians of the impact of the boomers.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Because ether are living longer and icing well - however though purchasing of good and leisure activities, Carole’s interest is in lifelong learning, of\r\n new skills extending our education reflecting on philosophical thoughts etc etc.

\r\n

Retirement villages are denuding society of the wisdom and joy of the elders by locking them away in separation from their families and the community as\r\n a whole. It definitely does not benefit people at this age to lose connection with family, relatives, friends and community.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Yet, internationally countries, especially in Europe are adapting to these changes by manufacturing and marketing products that make life more easier for\r\n elders to negotiate life. (listen to the interview)\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Carole languages the possibilities and the opportunities that we need to look for and work towards - this is a key focus for her. She has been at an arts\r\n debate recently where the discussion mentioned that the ‘neo-liberal economy’ has reached its limits creating many social problems and that it is time\r\n that we revisited ‘economy’ in far more people and community friendly ways.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Many old established towns in NZ are very possibly going to fall away because there will be no young people left and thus the ageing people will hang in\r\n until they finally die. And this is already happening in Japan where the Government has closed off villages and closed off roads as they are not economically\r\n viable anymore. In some instances schools were closed and turned into nursing homes for older people.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

In NZ we have no outdoor gyms that are put up for elders to go out, have a get-together, do some exercises and meet and catch up.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

When a person retires with a lot of accumulated knowledge - the name of the game is to have that person engaged somehow sharing this even if it only via\r\n workshops or other festivals or gatherings - maybe at night schools etc.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

This is only from the the first 20 minutes of this engaging interview.\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

Footnote:\r\n
Yet, we also have to factor in climate change and all the other urgent global variables that are happening within the biosphere too.

(Due to Public Concern, this is a Repeat)

For years health experts have been unable to agree on whether fluoride in the drinking water may be toxic to the developing human brain. Extremely high\n levels of fluoride are known to cause neurotoxicity in adults, and negative impacts on memory and learning have been reported in rodent studies, but\n little is known about the substance’s impact on children’s neurodevelopment.\u2028\u2028 Despite many studies, the Government now appears to be planning to implement\n mandatory fluoridation to the whole of New Zealand.

Currently, only around 50% of households are on fluoridated water, with only 23 out of 67 local councils still fluoridating, many voicing their growing\n concerns about fluoridation risks and dangers. In response to more and more councillors and mayors deciding against fluoridation the Government is\n now taking the decision away from local councils and communities and putting the power into the hands of District Health Boards (DHB), who are under\n the direct control of central Government.\u2028\u2028Auckland Council is not one of the councils supportive of fluoride free. Many residents of Huia and Onehunga\n are currently up in arms about the addition of fluoride in their areas.\u2028\u2028Watercare extended the Waikato Line through Pukekohe westwards to the Franklin\n townships in 2014. No consultation or notification of fluoridation was made to the residents. So residents of the Franklin Ward townships of Buckland,\n Patumahoe, Clarks Beach, Waiau Beach and Glenbrook Beach (who receive reticulated water) have been consuming fluoridated water since 2014 without their\n knowledge, or the legally required consultation

Prof. Paul Connett, PhD, Emeritus Professor from St. Lawrence University USA is an, executive director of the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) and its parent\n organization, the American Environmental Health Studies Project. He tells us of the dangers of fluoride and how he, a scientist, first came to this\u2028\u2028In\n a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies\n and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children.\u2028\u2028Based on the findings, the authors say that this\n risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.\u2028\u2028Yet New Zealand Authorities are challenging\n Councils ability to keep being fluoride free or remove fluoride from the water supply.\u2028\u2028And isn’t it a basic human right NOT to be mass medicated,\n even if some might think they are doing us a favour?\u2028 \u2028When the fluoridation of water began, there was little evidence for its long term safety (as\n for GMOs) and since then little attempt has been made to monitor its health effects systematically.\u2028\u2028Because there are so many unanswered health questions,\n fluoridation of water must be considered an ongoing experimental procedure, and as such it is a violation of the Nuremberg Code, which forbids experimentation\n on humans without their informed consent. In Europe, nearly all countries have either never fluoridated their water or have ceased doing so.\u2028\u2028Yet the\n incidence of tooth decay has declined just as much as in those countries that practice fluoridation. This fascinating interview with Dr Paul Connett,\n will raise alarm bells about many aspects of the mass medication of the population by fluoride and he challenges us to do something about it.

Tooth decay is caused by poverty and a poor diet, not a lack of fluoride\u2028Poverty is one of the biggest predictors of poor dental health. Many people do\n not realise that they should never put any sweetened drink, or even flavoured milk, into a baby’s bottle. Leaving babies to suck on a bottle is the\n cause of baby bottle tooth decay (early childhood caries). This is the main cause of children suffering extreme dental decay and needing tooth extractions,\n and fluoride will not protect from that.

\u2028NOTE: This interview is a repeat but the information is still valid and so is worth a replay.

He discusses his recent theories with John Coombs of Global Health Clinics.

Glen offers various solutions to the current challenges facing individuals and society. These include simple health issues, with reference to the work of Dr Rudolf Steiner, Astrology, and some of the key planetary dynamics currently influencing our planet.

Glen's theories include new advancements on the energetic qualities of the Torus, practical fractal significances and how the periodic table of chemical elements can be viewed in a more dynamic and easy to comprehend manner which directly correlates to our health and active consciousness.

Glenn's work with agricultural forces through his BD Max products have been developed over 40 years and include simple homeopathic solutions to help produce a better quality of organic nutrients and manage plant resistance to various pests and temperature fluctuations.

This conversation touches on esoteric knowledge as well as simple practical chemistry and social dynamics.

Glen has written 5 books which are available free on his website www.bdmax.co.nz

Glen also produces a range of synergised homeopathic human health products, which are available online or through Global Health Clinics.

That includes understanding your inside nature and focusing on easily understood vocabulary to express your feelings. Because one of the greatest challenges we have today is to be able to vocalise our feelings in such a way as to be clearly understood. There is a gigantic chasm especially among boys and men in finding the vocabulary to express their needs.\n
\n
So what is it that affects us in a tragedy that directly afterwards people instinctively lean into each other for support and comfort?\n

It all started when the earthquake in Christchurch struck in February 2011 when instantly a survival situation turned everyones world upside down and all around people were communicating there concerns whilst neighbours and friends looked out for each other by visiting to check on their health and well being then pitching in to cooperate and work together - it showed a presence of care and goodness, being right there for people, sharing food on the streets, people boiling water for cups of tea on camp cookers, rigging up a generator so as to charge up cell phones - and this mindfulness deeply affected Cameron by the outpouring of community spirit. That it was so very instinctive and that day and preceding hours and days after continued to affect Cameron for weeks and months afterwards - right up until today, that it became the catalyst for the formation of the group ‘you being you’ to come into being.\n

The events of Christchurch brought about a collective heart awakening that was powerful, very intense and very visible. Because the earthquakes capacity to strip away everyones character or body armour it left them open, vulnerable and present. Ones station in life of house, car, job etc, meant nothing - what was imperative was shelter, food, water and companionship - that was what the moment gathered and in that aftermath of continuing aftershocks and atmosphere, people instinctively leaned in and were kind, and open, there was a softness and a vulnerability in which they all shared and it was primal and very powerful and over the ensuing weeks most of the people stated - “would it not be wonderful if we could be this close all the time\"\" as out of this traumatic event very carrying groups and connections happened right across the breadth of Christchurch to other outer lying affected areas.\n

Today the earth is still being shaken up with so many events, fire, tornados, quakes and tsunami’s and todays ongoing refugee challenge too and what this is doing it is awakening people to really comprehend what is really important in life. This is also having an affect on people by questioning life’s purpose.\n

The www.YoubeingYou.org website and practitioners that Cameron and Brian are a part of, are wanting to offer practical tools for connecting our inner and outer worlds using the tools of timeless wisdom. Step by step they explore holistic world views which help us understand our inner life workings and how they relate to our outer world experience. You Being You gives us language for connecting with what’s important to us as unique individuals. Knowing our true nature can help us make wiser choices and decisions about how we steer ourselves through life. The teachings naturally encourage empathy towards ourselves and others. The expression of empathy is compassionate action which enhances all relationships. \n

This interview also covers:\n

That many people through out the country are awakening to different ways of being which encourage connection, openness and sharing. You Being You is designed to encourage healing conversations about how to be present and whole.\n

Presence is a gift and a power that most people have not thought of and as it is a power it also is a force of nature … mana is one way of understanding presence. Often multi tasking can be distracting because we cannot really do what we really are focussing on, because of the pace of the world that we are immersed in, can take us off centre. Stillness in your being is important in cultivating presence.\n

Certain people in the areas of health and support services are becoming aware of mindfulness as a movement which is really taking place around the world. This stepping towards a change is all about becoming aware and awake of being more mindful of what is right now. This is also bringing presence to life and how to engage in the fullness of your being and how to align with your destiny and how we shape our future.\n

Especially covering young people and children who are awakening to change - the so called indigo, rainbow and crystal children, who find themselves at odds with the general consensus that overlays society. The needing to be understood and to be nurtured as we are all in this together.\n

When we listen to people, especially when they need an ear so as to air their thoughts, feelings and hurt, we are medicine for them, we are all healers.\n

The language of the heart is universal and spoken all over the world and in truth we are partners with the universe. It’s also about this global collective awakening in the young people and that they have the keys and the solutions. If you are an older person and you want to share, mentor some younger people in your life and ground them in a holistic and caring way.\n

It may be as easy as just being there for someone and listening. If they are freaking out, knowing that someone is actually present, can be all that is needed.\n

There is today an emerging feminine power coming into being that encourages cooperation and harmony, lessening competition and division and by the integration of the masculine and feminine energies a much needed balance is now coming to our planet\n

We are all in this together is what Brian said - no separation.\n

This discussion reveals how by combining the opportunities presented by new technology with positive attitudes, lifestyle decisions and exercise we enhance our qualities of individual happiness and the wellbeing of our whole society.

If we are well we have more energy and mental focus to helps others, and have higher creative faculties for political or ecological considerations.

John describes the new Cell Wellbeing system, an assessment tool using hair follicles which operating at epigenetic levels, converts the chemical information in the region of the brain from the follicle into sine waves. These are scanned to a super computer which is programmed to analyse the digital signatures and reconverted into coherent pie charts with prioritised written reports. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, emfs, microbiology, toxins, foods, omega oils and food additives are all assessed with appropriate foods and remedies prioritised for optimal wellbeing.

This significantly empowers both therapists who can focus on educating and advising with confidence while the client receives high quality written information with lifestyle advice based on current data.

He also describes how oxygen or bio oxidative therapies, particularly Ozone are helping revolutionise health and wellbeing. 65% of a human body is oxygen. If this level deteriorates then cellular and metabolic functions are compromised. Learn about these systems based on very simple science which could be taught to 7 year olds with lifelong benefits. The average person tested is approximately 2-3 kg of Oxygen below ideal levels which clearly explains why many people are often feeling well below par.

John and Soreya discuss these therapies which are very simple to administer and still unknown for many people.

Ozone is now available in convenient spa capsules associated with an infrared sauna and steam spa which opens the skin pores allowing oxygen to permeate into the body rehydrating. John describes how Rife electrotherapy is also integrated into the spa system stimulating metabolic functionality.

Integrating these pioneering systems simplifies the new approach to health, providing options for science based proactive programs which warrantee long term wellbeing and longevity.

We have better hygiene for sure, so why are we not the picture of health that we should and could be?\n
\n
Perhaps in the old days people spent more time out of doors and not on electronic equipment; they ate seasonally when food was available; they cooked at home and ate far less pre-prepared food; they didn’t eat GMOs, preservatives, stabilizers and food additives, and they had far fewer prescription drugs.\n

Now we are eating food grown where the soil has been fertilised with petrochemicals, and the crops have been sprayed with pesticides. How does this impact on our bodies? What does it do to the microbes in our stomachs?\n
\n
Food must be labelled to ensure consumers know what they are eating!\n
\n
Nutrition affects every cell and microbe in our body. The health of our cells is dependent on diet and lifestyle. Cells create tissues, tissues create organs, and we are made up of a system of organs. If our nutrition is inadequate, the integrity of each cell, tissue and organ in our bodies will suffer.\n
\n
Our bodies also have to cope with the electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) associated with the use of electrical power, appliances and various forms of natural and man-made lighting, and from smart meters. Add to that challenge of vaccinations and fluoride, and how they impact on the body and immune system.\n
\n
The solution really starts with self responsibility. We have to be conscious of all of the above and act accordingly. The hospitals are full of people who eat badly, are admitted to hospital, fixed up, and sent out to eat McDonalds for another day!\n
\n
Education for self responsibility could be taught in schools - not just around food choices but about all lifestyle choices. We seem to be living in a system of blame and victimhood and somehow if one’s life, or bodies break down, it is someone else’s fault and someone else’s job to fix it!\n
\n
We need a raised consciousness not only in individuals but within the collective consciousness, as the hundredth monkey effect shows us. That way we can raise society’s whole outlook. Imagine if we stopped expecting to get ill when we get old, and that we expect to live a full and healthy life to the end? How much improved our lives would be with that positive thought form out there!\n
\n
The knowledge for ideal life is already primarily available to us. We just need to discern it and prioritise it, as translating this knowledge practically is our hope for the future.\n

The world of herbal lore had always interested Dee for as a child she had always been given herbs for both food enhancement, health and healing. Yet, even today upwards to 80% of our planets population use herbal extracts, and not big pharmaceuticals.\n
\n
Dee then became a speaker on herbs and continued to branch out into organic gardening where today she is very successful. Especially in growing 4 seasonal crops a year. Noting that for each season there is a particular set of veggies to grow that suit the temperatures and light etc.\n
\n
Then to teaching organics over the last so many years because a whole generation have missed out on the skills in growing gardens and the relationships with the soil and micro-organisms of bacteria and fungi, composting and mulch.\n
\n
With a 1/4 acre section she has turned her garden into a food forest - saving heaps of visits to the supermarket, yet becoming super healthy in the process. She has 30 odd fruit trees in that area with raised veggie garden plots plus chickens and growing and harvesting 4 times a year the only things she buys are onions and mushrooms, because onions take to long to grow. Visitors are totally blown away by the diversity of plants when visiting Dee’s garden. Yet, she also allows weeds like horehound to grow to make cough medicine including red sage as it may even be the first traditional Chinese remedy to gain approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).\n

However, the biggest challenge for home gardeners is that for 9 out of 10, it is the soil that is the problem, having no humous and lacking in minerals, and prospective gardeners think that they can just buy fertiliser and pour it on however that's is not like it at all. We have to build it up, with seaweed, horse, cow and sheep manure, compost and involve yourself in a dedicated process for a wholesome soil web. Getting dead fish frames and guts from fisher folk and burying them in the garden and then sheet mulching with old newspapers and cardboard, keeps the soil moist and warm, for earth worms - as well as keeping weeds at bay.\n
\n
This lead her to writing a book on how to achieve this and that is how Gardening for Planet Earth was written, being totally different from other books because it was based on natures cycles that make life on earth possible. Including predator prey cycles, pollination cycles, to totally use natural means to achieve healthy and fecund results. It being all about the food web.\n
\n
Working also with schools, they purchased Dee’s book for ease of use and its original ways of conveying simple information. 'Growing Gardeners’ was supported by Enviro Schools being a book for young children. SustainabilIty, as a way of life, is such an important concept to share with children, such as the value of trees and tree coverage. One example given was that a neighbour cut down a magnificent old tree, and the reason for cutting it down was that it was not doing anything! The vast majority of people in todays surface society have no understanding of the water cycle, and how trees stabilise against soil erosion, with transpiration for cooling, and sequestering C02 and giving shelter/sustenance for birds and insects etc.\n
\n
She tells of her children living up in Abu Dhabi up in the Gulf states, where the Sheik, the leader of the country was a great believer in trees and for his whole life planted trees across the desert areas using desalinated water to keep them alive, and by growing so many that after many years, the combined action of transpiring trees caused it to rain, which was a great novelty for this region, thus proving a very important point that trees, if the conditions are favourable, can create rain and moisture, which is imperative for any woodland/forested/bush area.\n
\n
Trees can be the worlds solution to weather wilding, climate change and so called global warming …\n
\n
Dee sees an urgency of enabling children to become more engaged in nature and the source of their own becoming. Having children involved with Kaipatiki or visits and planting on Tiritiri Matangi, or just growing veggies in their own home garden as an important step for grounding themselves in the natural world.\n
\n
Dee also has a daughter who is an acupuncturist and Chinese herbal healer sees todays unhealthiness translating into stress, poor food choices, working long hours and busyness - has produced a book called ‘Feed me Right’ and a second book 'Grow me well’, came to be written - self published selling 4,000 copies plus with no advertising, and when given to a publisher their reply was there was no need for a book such as this.\n
\n
Dee’s talks are now about rethinking the science of nutrition, as food has to be nutritional for it’s not about eating until you are full. High carbohydrate processed food and low fat equals obesity! And slowly nutritionists and doctors are finally coming around to this ‘knowing' as well.\n
\n
Nutrients have to be in the soil, so that they can be taken up by the plant. It’s imperative to have seaweed and compost, horse manure and coffee grounds etc plus growing comfrey and nettles to be able to make liquid manure and have a worm farm and to focus on going organic. NPK is definitely not it!\n
\n
For example, growing Nettles provide you with nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous, iron, copper potassium silica. \n
www.richsoil.com/nettles\n
\n
This interview also covers obesity, cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and many other subjects.\n
\n
Epigenetics - that we are influenced by the outside world. It’s the environment that changes the expression of your genes.\n
\n
A new book coming out soon called Patterns in Nature covering the deeper qualities in what makes form in the natural world, and how the form comes into being as mathematical and geometrical configurations of natures being, Dee has found that kindergarden teachers are showing much interest in using it. Covering bio mimicry and extending on what is embedded deep within nature, and growing relationships this interview takes us further into the beauty and magnificence of the natural world.\n
\n
In Auckland a little back yard community garden has recently sprung up. When an older couple had to larger section for them to work on, Dee had 8 people, all vetted to work together and they divvy up the harvest between themselves and the land owner. This is a wonderful story and example of what can be done when we commit to organise commit and co-operate.\n
\n
Dee’s most passionate request is that all people involved in working the land get a subscription to the magazine Organic NZ http://organicnz.org.nz one of, if not the oldest soil and health publications on planet earth … tells us what is really happening with GE food to the TPPA, how to save seeds, make compost, mulch, prune, store food, care for bees, chooks, animals, build shelter, irrigate and much more.\n
\n
Richard Main and his project on Community Gardens in Auckland is mentioned here, that many houses in Auckland and across NZ that have just bare lawns, no shrubs, flowers or anything … when for a little effort communities could turn lawns into lunch - using compost, animal manures dead fish frames and guts for sheet mulching.\n
\n
This lovely interview with Dee will inspire you to get out working the soil and planting.\n

Of these investigations, 43 of the 50 human studies have found that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ, while 30 of the 32 animal studies have found that fluoride exposure impairs the learning and/or memory capacity of animals.

The human studies, which are based on IQ examinations of over 11,000 children, also provide compelling evidence that fluoride exposure during the early years of life can damage a child’s developing brain. One study shows it damages the IQ on average by a shocking 7 points. This is of particular concern in poorer areas where children are already disadvantaged, and will ultimately even affect their financial wellbeing in their future.

After reviewing 27 of the human IQ studies, a team of Harvard scientists have concluded that fluoride’s effect on the young brain should now be a high research priority.

It is interesting to note that before any of the studies finding reduced IQ in humans were known in the western world, a team of U.S. scientists at a Harvard-affiliated research centre predicted, based on behavioural effects they observed in fluoride-treated animals, that fluoride might be capable of reducing IQ in humans.

So why are we having a neurotoxin that contains arsenic added to our water?

Dr Bill Hirzy states that the prime reason for adding the by-product fluosilicic acid (fluoride) from phosphate fertilizer manufacturing into our water is to use up the toxic waste that otherwise would be a problem. Water and air pollution are minimized, and water authorities have a low-cost source of fluoride available to them. Note that pharmaceutical grade fluoride that is used in our toothpaste is not what is added to the water. It is industrial waste.

99% of this fluoridated water is not drunk and is flushed down drains, which makes the addition of it somewhat flawed, even without the associated health issues.

Professor Paul Connett suggested that the Green Party should know better than to support the use of fluoride, and challenged our government as being negligent for not looking at the science presented to them in this book, written by Prof. Connett and two other scientists, “The Case against Fluoride: How Hazardous Waste Ended Up in Our Drinking Water and the Bad Science and Powerful Politics That Keep It There”.

On the cover of the book it states that Sweden rejected fluoride in the 1970s and that the three scientists have shown in the book the wisdom of that decision.

Water fluoridation is rare in European Countries and has been discontinued in numerous countries, including Germany, Finland, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and recently Israel.

Prof. Connett mentions Scotland’s Childsmile project has reduced tooth decay dramatically without the addition of fluoride to the water.
In some European counties you can buy salt with added fluoride.

This gives people choice and does not medicate the whole population with an uncontrolled and inconsistent dose, and defies the ethic that people must be given informed consent for medication.

Prof. Connett says it is a betrayal by health departments and boards that the science has not been properly considered. We have already seen in this country that promoters of fluoride don’t want to debate the issue with Prof. Connett and others, as this would alert the media to the issue and encourage people to seek the truth.

He says, “Stop believing the paradigm, and look at the science with an open mind.” People tend to believe those who wear white coats, but is that really how we judge knowledge?

Recently the Minister of Health, Dr Jonathan Coleman, has exempted fluoride chemicals from the Medicines Act 1981, while admitting that fluoride compounds are medicines when given to you in a pill but not when put in your water supply!

So our minister has signed into law the facility for councils to add unmonitored industrial waste products to public water supplies that can no longer be classed as medicines. It is hard to fathom how a Minister of Health can possibly think this is acceptable.

http://fluoridefree.org.nz/fluoride-now-medicine-now-not

It is worthy of note that the sugar lobby was one of the first major supporters of fluoride. Even in 1949 they were looking at how to increase sugar use without increasing tooth decay. Toothpaste manufacturers were also quick to jump on the bandwagon.

However there is no study that shows that water fluoridation to be very effective. The addition of fluoride to toothpaste has made a small difference to teeth as fluoride works topically. If people choose to use fluoride, that is an appropriate way to administer it.

However in a child’s mouth, only 0.6 of one tooth surface is shown to have any improvement as a result of fluoridation. Already through our food and our toothpaste we are receiving higher than safe levels of fluoride, without it being added to our drinking water.

By meekly accepting this situation we are risking our children’s intelligence, and other health issues, for such a minimal gain.

Professor Paul Connett is the Executive Director of the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). He has spoken and given more than 2,000 presentations in forty-nine states and fifty-two countries.

http://fluoridealert.org

He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Dartmouth College and is a retired professor of environmental chemistry and toxicology at St. Lawrence University.

In his fascinating presentations Professor Connett brings new research to light, including links between fluoride and harm to the brain, bones, and endocrine system, and informs us about how the evidence that fluoridation reduces tooth decay is surprisingly weak.

Here he speaks about the fraudulent study that launched fluoridation in New Zealand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udWk_Y7YU_g

Dr William (Bill) Hirzy is a former Senior Vice-President of the Union for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

He has a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Missouri. He has been involved in environmental and human health risk assessment for 36 years, in the chemical industry, then at EPA HQ as senior risk assessment scientist.

Since 1986, at EPA as a union officer, he has studied and followed the developing science on fluoride toxicity.

On June 29th, 2000, Dr Hirzy was invited to give testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, and Water on behalf of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) Chapter 280 – U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Headquarters.

At the time, Dr. Hirzy was serving his sixth term as the Senior Vice-President of the Union. His presentation that day was, “Why EPA’s Union of Professionals Opposes Fluoridation.”

Dr Wayne, a medical school graduate from Oregon USA, has used this training to develop what he believes is the most simple and cost effective health care options available.

He returned to NZ in 2005 to help get Ozone therapy established in NZ.

Dr Wayne has worked tirelessly since to promote Ozone Therapy building a practice to help thousands of people recover from a wide range of health challenges with many of them moving towards optimal health and vitality.

Ozone has proven effective for most health conditions as it helps fully oxygenate the body improving the immune system to a level where naturally occurring healing and vitality readily occur.

Prolotherapy another key aspect of Waynes portfolio fills an important gap between physiotherapy and surgery strengthening ligaments, tendons and cartilage, restoring joints and enabling normal function and mobility.

It's especially good for old knee and back injuries as well as restoring shoulder strength and mobility. Its potentially a permanent cost effective solution for sporting injuries.

Dr Wayne has also trained in osteopathy and psychology giving him an holistic portfolio of skills for dealing with most health challenges, from simple infections through to difficult chronic conditions.

To book to see Dr Wayne or for more information go to http://globalhealthclinics.co.nz/practitioners/wayne-mccarthy-ozone/ or call 09 4880208 Monday to Friday and the reception team will help you.

Dr Wayne is located in Takapuna on Wednesday and Thursday and Whangarei during other times in the week.

To choose our politicians not because they are leaders or statesmen but because they may make more money than other people, does not translate to mean that we as a country should vote for such a person thinking this politician will also make more money for the country. This is a fallacy, they only go on to set themselves up to make more money for themselves further on.

In todays world, we as consumers are being targeted to consume as many material resources as can be paid for and when we purchase a bargain, usually as a ubiquitous, toxic plastic article it is very soon in a landfill somewhere and we end up poisoning our resources and our future.

The loss of ethics and the understanding of what it means is being lost in our runaway consumer society.

Tara states that engagement with one another was what made us a great nation and the illusion that we are all separate is more of an idea proposed by the people who want to divide us and rule.

We are a fortunate country in that we can recover the environment and have clean air, water and food chain etc. We are also, not so much in debt that if we do not sell off any more assets (the ones that make the revenue for us to pay off the debt) we may very well be able to create our way into a resilient and self reliant, sustainable country and society.

It is both your fault and my fault that we have the situation that is happening in this country - why? Because we did not make the effort. Over 1 million did not vote in the last election.

Do we want to be bothered? Or, do we want to become a people who think and decide to take strategic action at the polling booth? Look at the lives that have been lost over the centuries as ordinary people courageously strived under horrendous hardship to have a say in their community. To insult these pioneers, these suffragette’s by turning our backs on these hard fought rights to universal suffrage, is not an option, especially in our world of decreasing freedoms, ethics and values.

In NZ it is against the law not to register to vote. Whereas in Australia they have taken it a step further, and that it is against the law not to vote.

Look at a possible tax incentive to vote and those who don't vote pay more taxes?

This interview covers much subject matter:

Conservatism and what it means - to Conserve. Old people planting trees, knowing that they will never walk under the shade of them. Thinking forward as to what will we bequeath to our children and grand children’s future.

Learning from advanced Northern European methods.

Environment - In Sweden, recycling is so efficient that now Sweden has to import other peoples recycled (rubbish) items so as to keep their industries going. They have not turned their whole country into an economic model as we have done under the RMA the Resource Management Act. Recycling is part of the common vernacular through out Swedish business and Government.

Education - In Finland, though not on the same wages scale as doctors, teachers are honoured as professionals. The Finnish educational system caters for parental and grand parental input in their highly acclaimed educational system. Academically they have one of the highest success rates in the world.

The TPPA the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement is a method to outflank NZ’s sovereignty. With regard to health, the TPPA has NZ in its sights the dismantling of PHARMAC and quite possibly the taking over of our hospitals by offshore corporations.

This also covers housing and overseas ownership of NZ, when we can not buy land in Fiji, China or Japan, why not instead lease this land and keep the ownership in this country?

GDP and the measure of how much growth we have where as like Dr. Ron Colman’s development of the Genuine Progress Index for Nova Scotia in Canada which includes the other side of the equation where car crashes, house fires, burglaries, storm damage and accident and sickness are factored into the whole economic understanding. And the books are balanced accordingly.

As a water scientist, Tara talks about:

The degradation of water, rives, lakes, selling off of NZ, that large corporate farms now may have only one house on them, where once many smaller farms built up the community as there were more homes and families. The advent of the larger and larger farms, are depopulating the community of families and this trend is escalating in NZ.

It’s our fault, as the government was designed to be a peoples process but now we are a people that are not engaged but instead disengaged. What can we do to reignite our interest in our own governance, be it at a local or a national level?

Our country is run as a business however, it can not be run solely as a business as there lies the fundamental difference that not everything has a monetary factor attached to it. Such as what about the knowledge banks of the elderly, and their input into community and society. The elderly have much wisdom and experience to offer. Lets validate them and bring them more into community decisions.

There is a way through this if we use the enlightened consciousness that we have been imbued with.

We need to be more involved with each other, we need to be able to pay it forward and at the same time as talking with our neighbours engage in pulling the strings of community together.

For New Zealand as a socially conscious country, we can once again be a global moral leader of how a small synergistic nation can once again be the emerging microcosm for the planetary macrocosm.

Finally, Tara will also tell you the story how he has been able to secure the name of: The New Zealand Party.

John Coombs interviews Global Health Clinics' new Client Services Manager, Susan Alesbury on the benefits of being able to create and manage a Designer Holistic Programme not only as a curative approach but also preventative.

Susan Alesbury has a business background and is also qualified in many therapeutic modalities in her own right.

Her special interest is in discovering the Mind Body Spirit connection. From training with the Cross Colour Healing Association in the UK some 20 years ago, she has come full circle after recognising that healing was simply \"Firefighting without looking for how the fires were being started\". Since that time, she has trained in Clinical Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Aboriginal Dreamtime, and has trained to Leadership under Tony Robbins where she learned Human Needs Psychology. Now, with the advent of the Biofield Viewer and connecting all the dots with the mental, emotional and spiritual energy fields, Susan is finding the Colour Healing a very potent tool in her toolbox once more.

John then interviews Caroll Macy a specialist in metal and chemical detoxification. As well as helping her clients stabilise hormones which may have been disrupted Caroll helps stimulate the immune system to enable a full recovery.

Caroll’s work is helping many people who have tried for years to get well. Caroll’s system is at the cutting edge of bio energy technology based on the pioneering research and clinical work of Dr Yurkovsky a prominent USA clinician.

Bioresonance Testing is unique in its ability to pin-point exact information concerning the state of your internal organs and many different systems – and the Poisoning agents that may have been lodged in them. Finding which poisons are exerting a paralyzing effect is essential – no guess work – treat the cause, not the symptoms. The Therapy must induce not only the release of identified Metals, Chemicals, Viruses, Bacteria or Fungi; But, it must also support or rebuild the natural defenses of weakened or distressed Organs and Systems; thus preventing the poisons’ from being dumped back into them.

HEAVY METAL POISONING is perhaps the most prevalent and serious condition we find – playing a primary role in nearly all chronic diseases. Mercury and Lead are known to invade every aspect of the body such as the Bone Marrow, Brain, Bladder Bones, Uterus etc. Cobalt and Chromium may be found in tissue surrounding hip replacements. Mercury was once routinely put in our mouths and often still is; even though well proven to cause untold harm. All fossil fuels, from coal to petroleum, contain mercury. Petroleum is used extensively in many Beauty Products. Even the tuna and salmon (being high up in the food chain) we eat can contain high levels of Mercury. Lead, Arsenic, Cobalt and Cadmium are common parts of everyday life – without actually being recognised!

Listen to this interview to discover tips on how to either restore or improve your own or your families health, or simply for improving your general knowledge of health and well being.

Tania Nevill founder of iconic corporate menswear company Working Style has a new working focus in life: helping optimise the wellness of the local community with obvious spin offs for her family.

Tania shares with you the process she went through to resolve long term fatigue from trying to balance family and a busy working life, as well as the long term benefits she and her family experienced from Holistic Health.

Having achieved her initial goal of more vitality Tania then focused on optimising her health which meant she can contribute more effectively to patient advocacy to benefit the whole community.

Susan Somerville has a science and psychology background which lead her to a diverse working career in accelerated learning, HR and environmental programs.

Having since trained in metabolic nutrition Susan follows Tania's thread with practical solutions to common health issues.

Her special interest is anti-aging and optimised wellness, which occurs when people initiate wellness lifestyle systems; including an obvious balance of exercise, sleep, nutrition and leisure with effective health care across the spectrum of physical, mental emotional and spiritual therapeutics.

Biological agriculture as against chemical agriculture. Corporate control of chemicals and drugs, plus the galloping increase of corporate farming.

Our unhealthy common salt intake, lack of iodine is translating to global thyroid problems.

That five US corporations have virtually taken control of the world food chain, and use the WTO and the TPPA as mechanisms to tighten their grip.

He concludes with an overview of the USA and UK's astrological challenges that he says will become very evident over the next 18 months and how the US military appears only to go on the offensive when certain astrological configurations occur.

I asked Glen at the start of this interview to hit a number of balls out of the park and possibly he went one further and hit one, possibly two into near earth orbit ...

***
Glen's premise:
Using bio-dyamics and agricultural impulses first introduced by Rudolf Steiner and the basic thesis of as above, so below - as per the tree of life, leaves and branches above and perennial roots and feeder roots under ground.

Questioning how can we revolutionize and add to Biodynamics, because there are so many offshoots of the near religious connotations to it, that in many ways is not applicable to farmers for cultivation of the land and growing food, be it vegetable or animals. However, it is very much a science, once people learn to decipher the language of 1920's German to equate it to todays current vernacular.

With Glen's impute, this translates to plants being able to be warmed up to have a 3 degree frost protection capacity that has been tested by NZ's Horticultural Research Centre as well as increase photosynthesis by 20% and an ability to stop fruit splitting.

These are just a few of the new understandings of biodynamics, including highly potentized humus preparation of cow manure stored in cow horns under ground and silica sprays as well as preparations made of quartz crystals and dandelion, stinging nettle, yarrow, oak bark and chamomile, which we hear and know nothing about!

This process deals in minute quantities, down to parts per million and it leads into homeopathics, which again science has huge problems with getting their head around. The reason being most tinctures are so diluted that the particles are virtually non existence, and that only the wave-form exists, (such as the ghost in the machine).

Yet, we only have to look at the British Royal family, their robust health and long life and the Royal physicians who are steeped in homeopathic knowledge. Which is really a peoples medicine as it is also very cheap to produce.

In an ideal world, Glen would like to have as your healers Homeopaths and Naturopaths working together, as well as other secondary modalities (like acupuncture, iridology, chiropractic and osteopathy) along with a host of other natural remedial practices.

Note, that it is very difficult to make money out of homeopathy. Not like the multi billions that are channelled into pharmaceutical drugs where colossal patents and costs claw back their investment and ... then some!

Then Glen reminds us that at the beginning of the 20th century the call was for 'Government for the people by the people' - the 21st century is - 'Government by the corporations for the corporations' - the manipulating 1%.

With biological agriculture making inroads into dairy but even more so in the sheep and beef industry there is a rapidly increasing up-take that is two fold in nature, healthy non chemicalised soils is translating to healthy produce that is enabling a very healthy gut and alimentary canal in the human body, and a win win for all of us who are coming more conscious of holistic choices.

Now in Australia, the two largest controlling supermarkets have bought up a huge number of service stations including alcohol outlets and now due to depressed pricing, they are reportedly forcing many farmers into bankruptcy and buying their land, which means corporate control, and thus control of the food supply of middle Australia.

Then learn from a friend of Glen's that works at the United Nations that the worlds food supply is basically controlled by five United States corporations. Through the WTO, World Trade Organisation and now the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement, the secretive TPPA.

Hence the call for grass roots organizations to get savvy and organize ourselves into small dynamic cells to address these issues.

From the chlorination and fluoridation of water and the direct relationship with our iodine metabolism which knocks out our thyroid gland which stuffs up our metabolism, and then as the chlorine in our water gets to our gut it sterilizes that too, hence the beneficial microbes in our intestines are under constant assault.

If you are on metropolitan water leading to the current explosion of uncertain, leaky gut and cancer of the bowel. Evidently, not too long ago 'they' increased the chlorine levels in NZ so as to sterilize the water to a greater degree

Covering liquids that we drink, Glen asks the question; how can we have a bottle of fizzy drink cheaper than a bottle of water?

Then there is common salt and the lack of iodine, and that common salt is basically devoid of goodness, and that high sodium levels are supposedly replacing lithium in the brain and is causing bi polar disorders.

What the latest holistic research is saying is that ailments such as cancer, bi polar, diabetes and obesity are seen to be stemming out of our excessive use of common table salt.

Glens covers astrology as well, how the planetary elite use it for their own purposes, that Hitler used it, Ronald Reagan, and (the Royal Family) however the upper echelons of society do it in secret whilst publicly ridiculing it saying it is worthless rubbish. Glen mentions the physics of it, the geometry and that we live in an electro magnetic universe and that our bodies are also electro magnetic - we are energy fields oscillating in a universal energy field.

Glen then covers 20 minutes on certain astrological situations that I will leave for anyone who wants to follow this up to listen to this information filled interview.

A clue is that the USA and UK have major challenges for 2014 and into 2015, because of their astrological make up. USA being a Cancer country 4th of July and the UK being a Capricorn country based in the 1st of January 1801.

This is a packed out information rich interview, where Glen covers the information gamut in our localized universe and basically runs short of time.
