Benzyl Alcohol is POISON!

Entry Salvaged from defunct Zaadz/Gaia BLOG

So is acetyl alcohol (cetyl alcohol), cetearyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethoxy phenol alcohol ... the only one potentially safe alcohol is ethanol, the kind resulting from natural fermentation - the kind humans have evolved with over many millennia.

Anyone who has taken a high school chemistry class has probably heard of benzene: a highly volatile and extremely carcinogenic solvent. Yet so many individual consumers are applying some form of this base carcinogenic compound to their faces, scalps, and bodies on a daily basis in the form of Benzyl Acetate and Benzyl Alcohol.

It has been recently announced in the news that benzyl alcohol has been the cause of infant deaths during hospitalization where intravenous medicines were used, where the medicines contained Benzyl Alcohol as a preservative! Simply outrageous.

Just read the ingredients on your shampoo, cologne, perfume, laundry supplies.

Even claimed organic products such as JASON shampoo are bogus and include lots of other harmful and irritating ingredients.

Just read the ingredients.

For goodness sake, become proactively self-educated about the things you're exposing your children to.

When these astringent alcohol ingredients are airborne in my vicinity, my skin feels like a rash of fire, my eyes burn and I have trouble breathing from alveolar constriction! Sadly enough, I can not (and therefore will not) hug most people and can not get within 10 feet of the front door of most homes.

ENLIGHTENED BUT CAN'T FEEL?

THINK ABOUT NEWBORN SKIN, THE PAIN BEING BROUGHT TO CHILDREN WHO HAVE NO VOICE, AND WHAT THIS MIND-NUMBING CONSUMERISM IS DOING TO THE NEXT GENERATIONS... TO THE HUMAN GENE POOL?

Michael Moore's SICKO

Entry Salvaged from defunct Zaadz/Gaia BLOG

Last night, I went to the Goggleworks to see the Sicko movie with Amastesia and Henriette.

I highly recommend seeing it. Most (I say most here) of Michael's selected case studies were suffering primarily from their own choosing of a typical American consumer lifestyle. Poor diet. No exercise. Obese. You get the idea. Michael himself looked a hundred pounds overweight.

People of the United States have a memetic sickness, a multi-generational disease of the mind that continues the mass trend toward sickness at all levels of life: cell, organ, organism, family, society, region, country, continent and planet. Institutionalized healthcare is not a solution to remedy poor lifestyle choices!

Though I agree that the U.S. should have a socialized healthcare system like much of the rest of the world, it remains paradoxically in a state of gridlock until people start making consumer choices that are healthy at every level of life.

See previous blog entry Each Consumer Dollar is a Vote.

The U.S. is self-sympathetic, and most of you are afraid to do the hard work of taking proactive accountability for your own health. Until you all radically change, the federal government, hand-in-hand with billion-dollar corporations, are going to keep putting a different spin on things, fooling you into thinking some progress is about to be made. They OWN you because of your debts to your mind and body, and your fears about finding your true self.

Each Consumer Dollar is a Vote

Time to get up off your meditation cusion and go out to the store. So, what are you going to buy? Gonna get some gas from the Middle East on your way? Then what goes in your cart? Genetically modified fruits and vegetables sprayed heavily with pesticides and fossil fuel fertilizers? Detergents? Dryer sheeets and fabric softeners? Meat, chicken or fish? Milk products? Products having "fragrance" as an ingredient? Products having artificial colors, sugar, corn syrup? How about soy? Bottled water? Cooking oils in plastic bottles - whoa? Okay, so you're about ready to leave the store, how about some slash-and-burn-rainforest cup of coffee at the mini StarCrooks kiosk on your way out of the grocery? Are you driving with a cell phone glued next to your brain? Do you know of anyone with cancer or diseases of the nervous system? Thyroid disorders? Fibroids?

Is it myopic to be an aspiring buddhini, yogini, warrior princess, goddess or lover and yet buy bottled water and what about "cleanse" drinks? Drinking chlorinated or flouridated water? Would anyone in their right mind knowingly poison themselves, their children, each other, or the Earth? Water. Think about it. Ludicrous. You're paying for what makes-up 85% of your body! And what are you getting? Have you been clicking on the links? Think about water as it is to our lives and the extremity of your enslavement when buying it in a plastic bottle.

Time to wake up and start acting with integrity as stewards and emissaries of this planet through consumer consciousness and deed. Are you buying clothes or other products made by toddlers in a sweatshop who are chained to a workbench for 12 hours every single day, with little or no break to eat or urinate, who are regularly beaten? I'll bet that you are. Yes, keep meditating on world peace, but then reverberate with responsible affirmative consumer action!

Listen to me and listen well. . . the fat-cat chemical-pharmaceutical moguls smoking the cigars are bellowing with laughter at your peesly "rising-up for world peace" because YOU aren't really getting any smarter or more responsible about your hypnotic consumer habits and the practices all around you that YOU endorse through YOUR purchase, ingestion, use, waste, and persisted through YOUR fear-kept ignorance and silence. Do you even know about Codex Alimentarius? Would Jesus, Buddha, or any truly enlightened being, advocate that you or your church spray broad leaf killer and toxic fertilizers on the lawn? Where do those chemicals go I wonder? Into the air, skin and soil? Into the stream valleys and aquafers? Your well water?

Why do you buy, ingest and pollute with these things? Because of your parents or friends? Because of mass media conditioning? Don't you have a mind? Is it being wasted? Is your dollar bill a terrorist or a Buddah? Have you noticed rampant urban sprawl of new-home-disease and monoculturism of trees, plants and strip-mall plazas? Have you noticed cars growing in size proportionate to the growing size of people's girth and stupidity?

YOGA AND PRAYER ARE NOT ENOUGH.

YOU MUST RADICALLY CHANGE YOUR CONSUMER HABITS NOW!

FOR GOODNESS SAKE, JUST STOP BUYING!

WAKE UP AND ACT RESPONSIBLY AS A CARING EARTH CITIZEN.

EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN AND START SPEAKING OUT!

CONSUME LESS! AND FIND A RELIABLE SOURCE OF FRESH, FILTERED WATER.

START A GARDEN AND BUY ORGANIC AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

TALK TO YOUR GROCERY MANAGER.

SPEND MORE QUALITY TIME AT HOME.

GET OUTSIDE TO LEARN ABOUT THE PLANET WHERE YOU LIVE.

BUY YOUR GAS AT CITGO THEN WALK, RUN, SKATE OR RIDE YOUR BIKE.

GET EVERY "FRAGRANCED" PRODUCT OUT OF YOUR HOME AND CAR.

GET THE TOXIC CLEANING PRODUCTS OUT OF YOUR HOME.
(Don't just throw toxic products in the trash, take them to a HAZMAT facility.)

STOP WATCHING TV AND READING THE NEWS AND OTHER INFORMATIONAL POISON!

GET RID OF YOUR CELL PHONE, IT IS THE EAR AND EYE OF BIG BROTHER.
(Even with your phone off, the passive ID circuit reports to local towers and your position is logged.)

STAY AWAY FROM STRONG ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FORCES!
(Stay far away from cell phones, microwaves, coiled electric wires, refrigerators, power lines. You mean you can't feel it? Are you numb? Heard of leukemia?)

BLOW THE HATCH ON 90% OF YOUR STUFF.
(Give it to others in need. Suddenly you begin to see them.)

STOP LOOKING FOR STUFF TO BUY!
(Can you pack a lunch? See if you can get by one week without an expenditure. Are you addicted to buying things? Has it really helped you or has your incessant, self-serving greed put your children in day care?)

TAKE YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL AND BEGIN HOMESCHOOLING NOW!
(The most evil pollution in the universe self-replicates.)

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO FACE THE TRUTH.

SIT STILL AND STOP CHASING AROUND.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.

PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER.

BE ETHICAL.

BE REAL.
