Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators Mar 02, 2011

Show notes

What would happen if your car had no oil or the steering wheel had been removed or you had no more gas? Your car would not function properly and clearly, you would have problems driving. When it comes to nature, every plant, every creature, every micro and macro organism plays its part much in the same way. Human beings are notorious for quickly destroying wildlife for the simple reason being that these creatures are either difficult to cohabitate with or are just a nuisance. It is unfortunate that people are so disconnected with nature and do not see how each creature plays an important role that impacts other creatures (human beings included) “Leading scientists working around the globe are learning that these much feared predators may in fact hold a key to life itself. It is the presence or absence of top predators that affects the health of the entire ecosystem.”-Lords of Nature The Lords of Nature: Life in a Land of Great Predators, is a captivating documentary which tells the story of a science now discovering top carnivores as revitalizing forces of nature, and of a society now learning tolerance for beasts they once banished. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Karen Anspacher-Meyer, Executive Director, Green Fire Productions and Craig Miller, Southwest Representative Defenders of Wildlife. We will also discuss the issues with efforts to minimize the protection offered to these species under The Endangered Species Act. Stay tuned!

Show notes

Prince Lorenzo Borghese: The Royal Pet Club’s Commitment to Animal Health Feb 28, 2011

Show notes

What would you do if your dog suffered from an allergy or even worse, began scratching relentlessly from a rash until he or she drew blood? For pet lovers, it's a heart wrenching experience to watch your dog suffer. Even the use of an Elizabethan collar is pointless and almost cruel. Your beloved pet bites at it, desperately trying to free itself, longing to scratch the itch as it whimpers in agony. Unfortunately, such itching can result in bald spots and open wounds, which, if exacerbated can lead to bacterial infections. The condition of a dog’s skin and coat is indicative of its general health. Everything from pet food, medications, flea collars and the environment can be the problem. Finding a solution, however, is not an easy task. Unlike humans that can opt for over the counter remedies, dogs are not so fortunate. Due to the high costs involved with veterinary testing and treatments,a solution is often not feasible. People will spend thousands of dollars on a myriad of treatments, with no hope of finding a cure. What if you had access to the best vets in the world but still could not find a cure? What if you could source your own ingredients and formulate your own remedy? This is exactly what Prince Lorenzo Borghese did when he founded the Royal Pet Club (www.royalpetclub.com). When his precious dog, Belle suffered from severely dry skin, he was completely distraught. He decided to utilize his contacts within the cosmetic industry which his family has been involved in since the 1960s, to find a solution. Like many other pet lovers, he decided to share his knowledge and manufacture a whole line of organic upscale pet products that have won the approval of pet parents around the world. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Prince Lorenzo Borghese about his work as animal advocate and about the great lengths he has gone through in order to prevent other pet owners from experiencing the same heartache.

Barbara Peterson: Understanding the Impact of GMO on Organic Feb 25, 2011

Show notes

Recently, the USDA deregulated genetically engineered alfalfa. Although many organic advocates and activists are in an uproar, most of the general population still does not understand how or why this will affect them much less the organic industry. Unfortunately, until people are faced with a health crisis or have a loved one affected, people will continue to remain ignorant of this disastrous decision. Barbara Peterson is an activist and also the host of the hit internet radio show called Farmwars (www.Farmwars.info) Barbara has devoted her life to protecting our environment and the creatures we share it with. Being an activist can be tough but this woman is truly a crusader for organic. Barbara is actually retired from the California Department of Corrections, where she worked as a Correctional Officer at Folsom Prison. She was one of the first females to work at the facility in this classification. Barbara lives on a small ranch in Oregon where she raises geese, chickens, horses, her dog Oggie, a variety of cats and an opinionated Macaw named Rita. Her rural lifestyle is being threatened by a combination of increasing federal regulations and corporate shenanigans such as NAIS and Monsanto’s invasive GMO technology designed to make it next to impossible to raise animals and organic food. Barbara’s motto is “It is time to step up to the plate and fight or lose it all without a whimper. Choose to make a stand and fight. We can make a difference!” In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Barbara Peterson, about the dangers of genetic modification, organic contamination, how the technology use agreement entraps farmers and what you can do about it.

Gold Star Honeybees: Top Bar Hive Beekeeping Feb 24, 2011

Show notes

Backyard beekeeping can be very rewarding not only to avid gardeners but to anyone who wants to really connect with nature and experience a whole new world. People often think that beekeeping is just about producing honey but it is so much more than that. So, what did bees do before beekeepers? Unable to find a logical answer to what seemed to be a simple question, Christy Hemenway launched an investigation of her own. She came to the conclusion that with bees, less is more, meaning: less human interference equals more health for the honeybee. In 2007, Christy founded Gold Star Honeybees to advance a beekeeping system known as the “top bar” hive - the original movable-comb, managed beehive. The most important feature of a top bar hive is that it lets bees make their own beeswax honeycomb in a natural, chemical free way. Working to build the top bar beekeeping community, Christy has done presentations to beekeepers, gardening groups and organic farmers all over New England and as far south as Atlanta for The American Community Gardening Association. She teaches Top Bar Beekeeping 101 - a Weekend Intensive class where students not only learn the how-to’s of stewarding their bees, but also come to understand the connection between bees and our own well being. The importance of bees to our health, the health of the planet and to all of nature becomes quite clear!Gold Star Honeybees manufactures the Gold Star top bar hive kit and its accessories which are sold nationwide. Christy has been published in The Northeast Organic Farmers Association periodical, The Natural Farmer, with the essay entitled Shifting the Paradigm –Towards More Natural Beekeeping. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Christy Hemenway to discuss the top bar hive method of beekeeping. Stay tuned!

Susan Thixton: Heavy Metals In Pet Food Feb 23, 2011

Show notes

Spex CertiPrep (http://www.spexcsp.com) recently published part 1 and part 2 of their test results about heavy metals found in pet foods. Susan Thixton, Founder of TruthAboutPetFood.com has been trying to find the answers as to how this could even have happened and what the FDA’s plans are to improve the safety of pet food. "The analysis of all the pet food samples showed that the highest concentrations of toxic elements were found in the dry foods of both cats and dogs. Out of the elements studied, dry food had the highest elemental content for 13 of the 15 elements examined. Dog food had the highest result for nine of the 15 toxic elements and cat food had the highest concentration for six of the 15 elements." -Analysis of Toxic Trace Metals in Pet Foods Using Cryogenic Grinding and Quantitation by ICP-MS, Part 1 published in the January 2011 Spectroscopy Magazine. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Susan Thixton to discuss in depth her exploration of this highly disturbing research and to also discuss options that pet owners can take.

Wholesome Sweeteners: The Fair Way Of Sweetening The World Feb 22, 2011

Show notes

Most people use sugar whether it is in your morning cup of coffee, afternoon tea or just an ingredient used to bake your favorite cookies. There are many different choices these days for consumers to choose from. We can use granulated sugar, honey or even agave. With the rapid number of issues being raised due to the genetic engineering of our natural sweeteners, consumers are becoming more cautious and are demanding that their sweeteners are clearly labeled as being certified organic. The Fair Trade certification has become a necessary certification in order to insure that the products are grown sustainably, ethically and will offer consistency in quality. Wholesome Sweeteners is the nation's leader in Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Verified and sustainably produced sugars, syrups, nectars and honeys. In addition to bringing the best organic, sustainable and unrefined sweeteners to the N American market, Wholesome pioneered the certification process for Fair Trade Certified sugar and honey in 2005. They have paid more than $2.5 million in social premiums to benefit farming and beekeeping cooperatives in the developing world. Fair Trade Certified™ is their guarantee that insures that the farmers are paid a set premium for their crops. The money is actually wired directly from their accounts to the cooperatives' accounts in Costa Rica, Malawi, Mexico and Paraguay. This has created a viable economic incentive to protect communities, traditions and the environment. Farmers in these countries can compete against factory farms, are able to keep their land, send their kids to school, develop the quality of their crops and build community resources. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer talks to Pauline McKee, Co-Founder and Vice–President Marketing of Wholesome Sweeteners. She will talk about how it all began and what Wholesome Sweeteners is doing to promote sustainability and organic. Stay tuned!
