Author, Catherine Friend – “Sheepish” Aug 23, 2011

Show notes

For Catherine Friend, it is a job that has become exhausting, especially after almost two decades. In the book, Sheepish, Catherine comically writes about her life on the farm and how she finds a new perspective about farm life, especially with sheep. She also writes about the advantages of having sheep as the planet’s “self-propelled lawn mowers” and the scary truth behind “wrinkle free” clothing. Catherine also describes a new perspective about what it really means to be “sheepish”—and how it might not be such a bad thing after all.

Steve Kessler, CEO, Steaz: Organic Functional Beverages Aug 22, 2011

Show notes

Most Americans typically start their mornings with a piping hot cup of coffee to jump start their day. However, energy drinks or “functional beverages” have since taken the place of coffee in a market that has literally exploded! Back in 1997, the energy drink market emerged, growing to about $400 million per fiscal year by the year 2001. By 2005, it had reached about $4 billion and continues to rapidly grow at an annual rate of approximately 12%. It is now anticipated to reach over the $9 billion mark this year. Wherever you go, there are ads for energy drinks that are offer an instant boost when your body is just about to conk out due to work, school, athletics or simply the need to keep up with the late night party crowd. While these drinks may give your body a jolt, these type of specialty beverages contain a lot of artificial ingredients that can often do more damage than good. There is a company, however, that has addressed this need and has opted to explore this rapidly growing market by offering the purest ingredients that are not only certified organic but are Fair Trade too! Steaz energy drinks decided to extend their existing line of fine organic tea beverages by taking things to the next level and offering a line of organic functional beverages. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Steve Kessler, CEO of Steaz, who will talk about the things you should know about energy drinks and why organic matters!

Recognizing & Removing Invasive Species From Your Garden Aug 18, 2011

Show notes

Many people love to buy new species of plants to add something new to their garden but have no idea that they could be introducing an invasive species to their landscape. One of the most common ways of introducing invasive species to your yard is by purchasing firewood. An unsuspecting homeowner can very well introduce such species as the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, which has been devastating the ash tree population of North America. This is now a major crisis in the Eastern United States and Canada, as 15-20% of the tree population is ash, genus: Fraxinus spp. (baseball bats are made from ash). When home owners seek exotic plants and import goods from Asia or buy plants from mail order catalogs, nurseries, online plant sites, etc. such invasive species as honeysuckle, Lythrum (purple loosestrife), English ivy, burning bush, Bradford pears, etc. can quickly take over . So what options do you have in order to prevent your beautiful landscape from becoming a biological desert? In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Horticultural expert, John Peter Thompson, who is President of the National Agricultural Research Alliance (http://www.NARA-B.org ). John Peter will talk about how to recognize and remove some of the most common invasive species. Stay tuned!

Author Karen Giblin, MD: Eat to Defeat Menopause Aug 16, 2011

Show notes

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.

The Percy Schmeiser Story: A Landmark Legal Victory Aug 15, 2011

Show notes

Percy Schmeiser is a canola farmer from Saskatchewan, Canada. He was the first farmer to win a law suit against Monsanto. This landmark case, which went before the Federal Court of Canada, has attracted international attention because it could help determine how much control a handful of powerful biotech companies can exert over farmers. Schmeiser believes this precedent setting agreement ensures that farmers will be entitled to reimbursement when their fields become contaminated with unwanted Roundup Ready canola or any other unwanted GMO plants. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Percy Schmeiser about his battle with this agro-chemical giant.

Dr. Paul Connett: The Case Against Fluoride Aug 12, 2011

Show notes

Most people take for granted that the water in from their faucet is safe to drink or is it? There is a lot of controversy over just how safe our tap water is and also if our government agencies have the right to treat drinking water that is consumed by the masses. The agencies that are charged with protecting our water claim that everything is safe. However, there are many scientists who disagree. The Case Against Fluoride by Dr. Paul Connett, Dr. James Beck, and Dr. H. Spedding Micklem, DPhil, takes a new look at the science behind water fluoridation and argues that just because the medical establishment endorses a public health measure, that doesn't mean it's safe. In the case of water fluoridation, the chemicals used to fluoridate the water that more than 180 million people drink each day are not pharmaceutical grade, but rather hazardous waste products of the phosphate fertilizer industry; it is illegal to dump them into rivers and lakes or release them into the atmosphere. And water fluoridation is a prime example of one of the worst medical practices possible-forced medication with no control over the dose or who gets it. Perhaps most shocking of all, it is not subject to any federal regulation. Dr. Paul Connett is the Director of the Flouride Action Network (FAN), and the Executive Director of its parent body, the American Environmental Health Studies Project (AEHSP). He has spoken and given more than 2,000 presentations in 49 states and 52 countries on the issue of waste management. He holds a bachelors degree from the University of Cambridge, a Ph.D. in chemistry from Dartmouth College and is a retired professor of environmental chemistry and toxicology at St. Lawrence University.

Lead Safe America: What You Need To Know To Get The Lead Out Aug 10, 2011

Show notes

Most people trust that when they send their kids to school, they are going to be safe. There is also a sense of security while in your own home. What if you were unaware of an environmental hazard that lurked within the walls? This is exactly what happened to Tamara Rubin whose kids were poisoned by the work of a painting contractor in Portland, Oregon in 2005. They inhaled fumes while a painting contractor used an open flame torch to remove the old lead paint off of their historic home to prepare it for painting. Her son Cole, was poisoned by lead dust at a private school in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area in 2007. In 2009 her young infant son, Charlie, tested positive for low levels of lead in his blood even with no specific source of exposure. Sadly, these children are just a few of countless others who have no idea that they have been poisoned. Thankfully, there is help and that is available! The Lead Safe America Foundation provides emergency intervention and support to families all over the country who have found out their children have been poisoned by lead in their homes. There are many causes of lead poisoning - but most of the paths of inquiry lead to two primary sources: lead from dust caused by house paint and lead from soil that has been contaminated as a result of lead used as an additive to gasoline. Their goal is to reach out to families across America to educated them about the dangers of lead poisoning, the symptoms, course of action as well as prevention. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will talk to the Executive Director of Lead Safe America, Tamara Rubin. Stay tuned!
