<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
And so it is with Pasteur's germ theory or the foundaiton of modern medicine, where all mythical facts are prefabricated upon a set of interpretations. Not for the sake of truth but for the sake of making money.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
The Birth of Modern Medicine; Pasteur vs Bechamp</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
The ‘medical model’ upon which allopathic (drug based) medicine has been built, is based upon a single person’s ability to convince scientists of the day that his opinions were correct. Many of you may have heard of Louis Pasteur, a French chemist, 1822-1895. His currently accepted ‘germ theory’ suggested that germs were the cause of all human disease, were airborne, and would attack or infect us if we failed to protect ourselves with chemical drugs and vaccines.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
His contemporary was a man named Antoine Bechamp (French biologist 1816 – 1908) who completely rejected Pasteur’s beliefs, maintaining mere exposure to a germ was not enough to get sick. That germs or bacteria, including MRSA do harmlessly survive within us, but that they change their form and proliferate given an over-acidic and unfavourable environment. It is that over-acidic environment, not the germ itself that creates ‘dis-ease’ for the host.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
We are constantly breathing in some 14,000 germs or bacteria per hour. If germs are so harmful, why aren’t we all dead?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
However, Pasteur was a confident man with many connections who, having plagiarised the research of Bechamp, distorted it, and submitted it to the French Academy of Science as his own, then toured to promote his own theory throughout the wider scientific establishment. Pasteur built up a devoted following with people acclaiming him a scientific genius! It was also the start of the Industrial Revolution and employees didn’t want their workers off sick, so his theory was considered very attractive indeed; people didn’t need to take ‘responsibility’ for their own health any longer. And the solution seemed easy enough – treat all ‘dis-ease’ with a chemical substance, or prevent ‘dis-ease’ with a chemical vaccine. The pharmaceuticals were delighted!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
Sadly, the more humble Bechamp’s work didn’t quite make the headlines. Although as slight consolation, Pasteur on his deathbed did acknowledge that Bechamp was right and said ‘the microbe (germ) is nothing: the terrain is everything’.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
Too late? … modern drug based medicine was born!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
The statistics tell the truth - 1 out of 2 persons will be diagnosed with cancer. The business of cancer diagnostics and so-called drug-based treatment is a 5 trillion dollar business. The War on Cancer and Disease is Over and Big Business and Big Pharma have won!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
And NOW the truth!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
"Germs do NOT cause disease! Germs are the biological transformations of cellular breakdown and NOT the cause of that breakdown." Dr. Robert O. Young</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
"There is only one sickness, one disease and one treatment. The one sickness and one disease is the over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking. The one treatment of ALL sickness and disease is to restore and maintain the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet." Dr. Robert O. Young</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px;">
"The cure for cancer and ALL dis-ease will NOT be found in its treatment but is NOW found in its prevention!" Dr. Robert O. Young</div>

<span style="color: #96a411;">Avocados</span> are one of the wonderful <span style="color: #96a411;">fruits of summer</span>. High in nutrition and flavor, nothing signals the start of summer like a <span style="color: #96a411;">zesty lime guacamole dip</span> with <span style="color: #96a411;">tortilla chips</span>. The next time you’re making guacamole or slicing an avocado for a salad, try saving your pits to grow into <span style="color: #96a411;">avocado trees</span>. It’s surprisingly easy to <span style="color: #96a411;">grow your own avocado tree from seed</span>, and it makes a great <span style="color: #96a411;">educational project</span> for home and classrooms. Check out our <span style="color: #96a411;">handy-dandy guide</span> below, complete with photos, to learn <span style="color: #96a411;">how to grow an avocado tree from seed</span>.</div>

<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="how to grow a tree from a seed, grow an avocado tree, how to grow an avocado tree, grow an avocado tree from a pit, what to do with avocado pits, Avocado Pits" class="alignright size-large wp-image-403501" height="357" src="http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/06/Avocado-Pits-537x357.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; display: inline; float: right; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" width="537" /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You’ll need to start by removing the pit from the avocado carefully (without cutting it), and then <span style="color: #96a411;">washing it clean</span> of all the avocado fruit (often it helps to soak the pit in some water for a few minutes and then scrub all the remaining fruit off). Be careful not to remove the brown skin on the pit – that is the seed cover.</span></div>

<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 2 – LOCATE WHICH END IS ‘UP’ AND WHICH IS ‘DOWN’</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some avocado pits are slightly oblong, whereas others are shaped almost like perfect spheres – but all avocado pits have a ‘bottom’ (from where the roots will grow), and a ‘top’ (from which the sprout will grow). The slightly pointier end is the top, and the flat end is the bottom. In order to get your pit to sprout, you will need to place the bottom root end in <span style="color: #96a411;">water</span>, so it’s very important to figure out which end is the ‘top’ and which is the ‘bottom’ before you go piercing it with <span style="color: #96a411;">toothpicks</span>.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">

<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 3 – PIERCE WITH FOUR TOOTHPICKS</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take four <span style="color: #96a411;">toothpicks</span> and stick them at a slight downward angle into the avocado seed, spaced evenly around the circumference of the avocado. These <span style="color: #96a411;">toothpicks</span> are your avocado scaffolding, which will allow you to rest the bottom half of the avocado in water, so therefore the toothpicks need to be wedged in there firmly. I recommend sticking them in at a slight angle (pointing down), so that more of your avocado base rests in the water when you set this over a glass.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 4 – PLACE AVOCADO SEED HALF SUBMERGED IN A GLASS OF WATER</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And set on a quiet windowsill with<span style="color: #96a411;">sunlight</span>. It’s helpful to use a clear glass so you can easily see when roots start to grow, and also when the water needs to be changed. Many guides recommend to change the water every day, but I found, through trial and error, that it is better to change the water every five days to a week or so. You do want to make sure you change the water regularly, to prevent <span style="color: #96a411;">mold, bacteria and fungus growth</span>, which can doom your little avocado sprout.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 5 – WAIT FOR YOUR AVOCADO SEED TO SPROUT!</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many online guides I have read say that sprouting can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks, but in my experience, it usually takes at least 8 weeks to get a <span style="color: #96a411;">sprout</span>, so be patient. Here is the process you will witness:</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>1.</strong> The top of the avocado pit will dry out and form a crack, and the outer brown seed skin will slough off.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>2.</strong> The crack will extend all the way to the bottom of the avocado pit, and through the crack at the bottom, a <span style="color: #96a411;">tiny taproot</span> will begin to emerge.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="how to grow a tree from a seed, grow an avocado tree, how to grow an avocado tree, grow an avocado tree from a pit, what to do with avocado pits, Avocado Pit With Lots of Roots" class="alignright size-large wp-image-403497" height="357" src="http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/06/Avocado-Pit-Lots-of-Roots-537x357.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; display: inline; float: right; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" width="537" /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>3.</strong> The taproot will grow longer and longer (and may branch), and eventually a small sprout will peek through the top of the avocado pit.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 6 – POT IN SOIL WHEN TREE IS ABOUT 6” TALL</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the stem is 6-7 inches long, cut it back to about 3 inches, this will encourage new growth. When it hits 6-7 inches again, pot it up in a rich <span style="color: #96a411;">humus soil</span> in an 8-10″ diameter pot, leaving the top half of the seed exposed. Place on a sunny windowsill. Avocados love sun – the more sun the better.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="how to grow a tree from a seed, grow an avocado tree, how to grow an avocado tree, grow an avocado tree from a pit, what to do with avocado pits, Baby AvocadoTree" class="alignright size-large wp-image-403502" height="357" src="http://assets.inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/06/Baby-Avocado-Tree-537x357.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; display: inline; float: right; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 7px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 4px;" width="537" /></span></div>
<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 7 – WATER & WATCH IT GROW</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Give it frequent waterings with an occasional deep soak. The soil should always be moist, but not saturated. Yellowing leaves are a sign of<span style="color: #96a411;"> over-watering</span>; let the plant dry out for a few days.</span></div>
<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 8 – PINCH OUT TOP LEAVES TO ENCOURAGE BUSHINESS</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the stem reaches 12 inches tall, pinch out the top two sets of leaves. This will encourage the plant to grow side shoots and more leaves, making it bushy. Each time the plant grows another 6 inches pinch out the 2 newest sets of leaves on top.</span></div>
<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 9 – TROUBLESHOOTING BUGS</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My avocado trees seem to collect <span style="color: #96a411;">aphids</span> – the nasty critters can’t get enough of the delicious avocado leaves. If you get them, here’s how to get rid of them: Wash all of the aphids off the plant by spraying your plant down with a hose outside or in the sink/shower. Once the little pests are off, spray your plant with a mixture of water with a small squirt of dishwashing liquid and a teaspoon of <span style="color: #96a411;">neem oil</span>. This will keep aphids from returning. Check your plant every 4-5 days and re-clean and spray when necessary.</span></div>
<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>STEP 10 – WINTERING</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #96a411;">Baby avocado trees</span> can kick it outdoors in <span style="color: #96a411;">summer</span>, but if you live anywhere where it gets cooler than 45 degrees F, you’ll need to bring them back indoors in the fall/winter, before the temperatures fall.</span></div>
<h3 style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><big><big>WILL MY AVOCADO TREES EVER GROW FRUIT?</big></big></span></h3>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hard to say! Sometimes avocado plants will begin growing fruit after they’re 3 or 4 years old, others take 15+ years to grow fruit, and some never do. It helps to have several avocado trees growing together to aid with <span style="color: #96a411;">pollination</span>. However, don’t expect the fruit to be anything like the avocado that yielded your seed. Commercial avocados are grown from grafted branches to control the outcome of the fruit – a naturally grown avocado may be very different than its parent!</span></div>

Mark is a talented technical illustrator whose specialty is in aviation and conceptual art within the defense and aerospace industries. His first UFO sighting occurred at Westover Air Force Base in the State of Massachusetts, in the winter of 1966. He observed the craft through an 80 power telescope for about ten minutes before it accelerated out of sight at an extreme velocity. He later discovered that this craft had been hovering above a flight of nuclear-armed Boeing B-52's sitting on the Alert Ramp of the flight line on base.<br />
<br />
This life changing experience inspired Mark to spend most of his life trying to discover the science that would make such incredible performance possible.<br />
<br />
Having had literally dozens of sightings since 1966, he feels certain that this carefully protected technology has been co-opted by an as-yet-unknown group, and the sequestration of this technology has provided that organization tremendous leverage in world politics, finance and international conflicts over the past five decades. In this program, Mark shares what he believes is a plausible answer to interstellar flight. We discuss propulsion systems, US modification experiments, zero point energy and the side effect of trapping it. We also discuss offworld exploration. Who is going and why? Mark emphasizes the positive angle to offworld exploration. -faroutradio.com
