Every four minutes an American woman enters menopause and with an ever-increasing life expectancy rate, that woman can spend as much as one third of her life going through “the change.” However, despite the inevitability and importance of menopause in a woman’s life, the discussion of this challenging transitional period is often riddled with myths, uncertainties, and trepidation. In Eat to Defeat Menopause: The Essential Nutrition Guide for a Healthy Midlife—with 130 Recipes, Karen Giblin and Mache Seibel, MD, two of the nation’s top menopause experts, break down the most important, need-to-know facts about menopause, offer tips and advice for combating its symptoms, and provide healthy and enticing recipes guaranteed to satisfy every craving (or mood swing). Combining the latest research on menopause, traditions from their Italian and Jewish families, and recipes from chefs across the United States, Giblin and Seibel show that making simple changes to one’s lifestyle can, in many cases, be just as effective as combating menopausal symptoms with the latest drugs and surgeries. Some of these simple changes can include: Eating foods that contain phytoestrogens, such as soy and garlic, to combat hot flashes and insomnia Stabilizing mood swings by eating omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B Cooking with avocados, chocolate, asparagus, or chile peppers to improve a decreased sex drive Reducing alcohol intake to ward off headaches, hot flashes, insomnia, and mood swings Whether readers are personally experiencing the “change” or just want to arm themselves with information and healthful eating habits for the road ahead, Eat to Defeat Menopause provides an easy and delicious guide for achieving a healthy (and hot-flash-free) midlife.

Beekeepers are very interesting people. They are a bit quirky, methodical and typically have an odd sense of humor.

Jonathan Deal- The Battle To Protect The Karoo From Fracking Feb 17, 2012

Show notes

The Karoo is the largest ecosystem in South Africa and is home to a fascinating diversity of life, all having adapted to survive an unforgiving landscape. Natural gas exploration has now come to invade this magnificent land in order to exploit its natural resources. A moratorium has been placed on granting exploration licenses to major fuel companies, which allows them to use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, as a means to extract gas from the earth. Hydraulic fracturing is a drilling technique used to extract shale gas from deep underground. It involves pumping enormous volumes of water, sand and chemicals into horizontally drilled wells under great pressure to shatter the rock layer and release trapped gas. Jonathan Deal is the Chairman of the Treasure the Karoo Action Group (TKAG). He has led the campaign against hydraulic fracturing in the Karoo and recently won a court action requiring the Mineral Resources Minister to release the names of the task team assessing the pros and cons of fracking. Mr. Deal is also contesting claims that the Karoo would benefit from this development. Will the Karoo sustain environmental devastation from natural gas development? What are the risks to the water supply? Will the benefits that the industry claims be forthcoming? Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer is joined by special guest, Jonathan Deal, Chairman of Treasure The Karoo, to discuss this battle to protect the Karoo.

Jim Gerritsen -The Significance of OSGATA v. Monsanto Feb 16, 2012

Show notes

To what extent must organic farmers and growers go to in order to protect their businesses? If a farmer chooses to grow organically and is contaminated by the GMO technology, they may be sued for the contamination as a patent infringement. Is there anything they can do? The large group of 83 Plaintiffs in OSGATA v. Monsanto is comprised of individual family farmers, independent seed companies and agricultural organizations. The total number of members within the plaintiff group exceeds 300,000 and includes many thousands of certified organic farmers. The Plaintiffs are not seeking any monetary compensation. Instead, the farmers are pre-emptively suing Monsanto and seeking court protection under the Declaratory Judgment Act, from Monsanto-initiated patent infringement lawsuits Jim Gerritsen, Maine organic seed farmer and President of lead Plaintiff, Organic Seed Growers And Trade Association said, "our lawyer did a good job explaining the current injustice farmers face. We have a right to be secure on our farms and to be free from Monsanto's GMO trespass. If we become contaminated by Monsanto, not only is the value of our organic seed crop extinguished but we could also be sued by Monsanto for patent infringement because their contamination results in our 'possession' of their GMO technology. We have farmers who have stopped growing organic corn, organic canola and organic soybeans because they can't risk being sued by Monsanto. It's not fair and it's not right. Family farmers need justice and we deserve the protection of the court." Tune in to this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, as host, June Stoyer is joined by special guest, Jim Gerritsen, to discuss this very important case.

LionAid.org Hosts Conference On Conservation Of African Lion Feb 15, 2012

Show notes

In the 1960’s, there were over 200,000 lions in Africa. Now the population is down to less than 25,000; a decline close to 90% in just 50 years. LionAid.org dedicated to the conservation of lions, has been successfully working with members of the UK and EU Parliaments to address major issues contributing to the catastrophic lion population decline. While LionAid accepts that loss of habitat and co-existence issues with humans and livestock have been a major factor, they now consider that lion trophy hunting as a significant source of mortality that needs more stringent regulation. LionAid also recognizes that disease issues emanate from domestic animals continues to affect lions. As a component of their overall lion conservation plans, a conference will be held in Nairobi on March 29 and 30, 2012. This conference will enable forward-thinking range states to evaluate considered conservation programs for African lions to better ensure their future survival. Tune in as host, June Stoyer speaks to the founders of LionAid.org, Christine Macsween and to Dr. Pieter Kat.

Julia Lindsey: The Simple Choice of Joy & Abundance Feb 14, 2012

Show notes

You have a choice in life to be either happy or miserable. It is up to you. Especially during tough times, sometimes, we all need a little inspiration and motivation. While there are many things people can use for inspiration, nothing more powerful than the written word. Books have the power to take your mind off your problems, heartache and fears, even if for a few brief moments. Books have been successfully utilized in co-dependency programs and other kinds of therapy. Julia Lindsey is the co-founder of Our Little Books which publishes an eclectic set of little books dedicated towards education and inspiration. For the past thirty years, Julia has been an Occupational Therapist, specializing in pediatrics and committed to developing the potential of individual students in the school system so each child can be successful. She touches many lives by using her personal experiences and expertise to help others grow. After four years of marriage and two babies, her commitment to personal development and faith in her own ability to achieve her dreams was certainly put to the test. Her husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and heart disease; he eventually had to give up a successful law practice and stay at home. As the couple struggled to juggle their finances, health issues, and growing children, they were living by default instead of deliberately. Even though Julia knew intellectually what she should do, she did not have role models to help her clarify her thoughts and apply those skills in a practical way to her own life. She managed to keep a positive attitude, but it took nearly fifteen years for her to find life balance and a sense of control in her life. From her own personal experience, she knows that there are many individuals who could learn to live a more fulfilling life if they knew that they could simply make a choice to do that. Her books, Joy is Simply a Choice and Abundance is Simply a Choice reflect that hard-earned wisdom.

Michael Potter: GMO’s and Organic Sustainability Feb 13, 2012

Show notes

According to the EPA, sustainability is defined as being based on a simple principle: everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment. Sustainability is a word often used by clever marketers to promote an agenda to address the propaganda that the overpopulated world is running out of food due. With conventional crops devastating the environment, it appears that all we are doing is mining the land instead of farming it sustainably. In essence, in order to be truly sustainable, agriculture must be perpetuated so it can be productive year after year and generation after generation. The privately stated policy from the agro-chemical companies is market domination through contamination, meanwhile it is translated for the public as peaceful co-existence, when in fact there is no peaceful co-existence. Is it possible for the organic producers to survive? Eden Foods, Inc., (also known as Eden Organic), is the oldest family owned organic food producer in the USA and the largest supplier of organic dry grocery items. Michael Potter, President of Eden Foods has been a strong advocate of organics and has also been a big supporter of the Non-GMO Project which is pushing for GMO Labeling. Conventional food producers currently do not have to label whether or not GMO ingredients are used in foods sold in the USA. Tune in as host, June Stoyer talks to Michael Potter, to discuss the true meaning of organic sustainability and impact of GMO’s on our food and environment.
