Cuke Skywalker takes on Darth Tader in...
STORE WARS: THE ORGANIC REBELLION
A Supermarket Far, Far Away (May 10, 2005)--The Organic Trade
Association (OTA) and Free Range Studios today launched a sci-fi supermarket saga, "Store
Wars: The Organic Rebellion" (www.storewars.org), on the Internet. The five-minute movie features
Cuke Skywalker, Princess Lettuce, Chewbroccoli and other organic rebels—played by real
vegetables dressed as Star Wars characters—battling it out with Darth Tader, the evil lord of the Dark
Side of the Farm.
Store Wars is an outreach effort of OTA to educate consumers
about the many benefits of organic products. By spoofing a pop culture phenomenon like Star Wars,
OTA hopes to attract a new generation of organic consumers, especially “Gen Xers” who grew up
loving Luke, Leia and Han, and are now increasingly concerned about making healthy food choices for
their families.
“If you think about it, a battle is currently being waged over food in
America, and the direction agriculture will take in the future. We’re asking in a light-hearted
way for people to think about the choices they make at the grocery store,” said Katherine DiMatteo,
executive director of the Organic Trade Association.
Store Wars is the brainchild of Free Range Studios, makers of the 2003
smash hit The Meatrix (www.themeatrix.com), an online movie seen by more than 10 million
viewers, translated into four languages and honored at the Webbys, Sundance, South by Southwest
and a dozen other prestigious festivals and contests. To obtain a Beta SP or DVD copy of the mini movie, contact Holly Givens at the Organic Trade Association (www.ota.com).
It is truly important to eat the right foods to stay healthy, but it is equally important to supplement and add the nutrients we can no longer get from our food supply. To find out more about the only nutritional supplements I recommend, visit:

This is one of my favorite Nature's Sunshine videos. I think you will enjoy it too. The video is funny, but the solstic products are truly awesome! They are easy to use, and can be put in your car, purse or pocket for those who "don't have time to take supplements!" Just put them in your water and go!

Most people wouldn't even think of going out in public before they took their daily shower. Besides, it just feels good when our skin and hair is clean. The question is, if it feels so good when we are clean on the outside, how much better does it feel when we are clean on the inside? Does it make a difference?
When you cleanse you body, you can help undo years of damage due to toxic build up. Let's face it, we put lots of toxic food in our bodies, we breathe toxic air, we drink toxic water laced with chlorine and fluoride, and we wonder why we have low energy, allergies, and lots of other health problems. Toxicity is really a problem in todays world.
In the U.S., cleansing became a popular practice during the 1920s and 1930s, but it actually dates back to ancient Greece. Today, it is a practice done by a large number of people who accept that proper digestion is crucial for maintaining overall health and wellness.
When our digestion is working properly, all of the food we eat is broken down and used by our bodies, or flushed out as a waste product. On the flip side, when our digestive systems are sluggish and aren't working properly, food particles often get left behind. It is believed that this food that gets left in the digestive system eventually creates a buildup that can produce toxins, which can then contribute to symptoms of fatigue and eventually be linked to many other illnesses. Sluggish digestion and sludge in the bowels may also reduce our bodies efficiency in eliminating toxins and waste.
CleanStart is a comprehensive approach to cleansing the whole body. It contains laxative herbs to facilitate the cleansing of the intestinal tract. Soothing herbs blended into the formula help support gentle cleansing. Herbs that help rekindle the ability of the digestive system to properly handle digestion, absorption and waste elimination are also part of this product. Because the digestive system is not alone in the waste-elimination process, herbs for detoxifying the accessory organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas) and the urinary system are incorporated into this formula. Blood purification is also an important aspect of body cleansing; hence, reputable blood-purifying herbs are also components of the CleanStart program.
Marshmallow, licorice, aloe and ginger soothe the digestive system while cleansing. Marshmallow root contains mucilaginous polysaccharides that help protect and soothe tissues. Licorice and ginger are reported to have antispasmodic and gastroprotective effects.
Sarsaparilla, red clover, echinacea, burdock, Oregon grape, couch grass, milk thistle and dandelion are purifying herbs in this pack. They are recommended for periodic “spring cleaning” of the body. Their mild diuretic effects are beneficial in promoting the elimination of toxins via the urinary system. In addition, sarsaparilla, through its sweat-promoting properties, enhances toxin elimination from the lymph and circulatory systems.
Bentonite and sodium copper chlorophyllin are detoxifying ingredients. Bentonite adsorbs toxins, facilitating their removal from the bowel. Sodium copper chlorophyllin is a green pigment found in almost all plants. It has been used to aid in the removal of various toxins via the liver and remains a key compound for improving the function of essential detoxification pathways.
Pepsin, capsicum, potassium citrate and lactobacillus help restore improved function of the digestive system. Anytime a deficiency of proteolytic enzymes exists, bits of undigested protein may remain in the body, causing difficulties. Pepsin supports efficient protein digestion and protects the intestines from foreign invaders. Capsicum is used to improve digestion and relieve occasional gastrointestinal problems. Potassium citrate plays a role in gastric secretion and enzyme reactions, helping to support digestion. Lactobacillus spores were thoughtfully blended into this cleanse to help re-establish the balance of these beneficial organisms. CleanStart is a thorough, yet gentle cleanse that is perfect for just about anyone. The ingredients in CleanStart are incorporated into a capsule packet and a powder drink mix packet (available in Apple-Cinnamon and Wild Berry flavors) that make cleansing easy and convenient.

Laxative Herbs
The laxative herbs in this formula help remove toxic debris that build up in the colon. Psyllium and fenugreek seeds are high in fiber and have a bulk laxative action, which helps support optimal gastrointestinal transit. Cascara sagrada, yellow dock, buckthorn and Turkey rhubarb are high in anthraquinones. These substances act on the large intestines, stimulating colon peristalsis to promote elimination.Marshmallow, licorice, aloe and ginger soothe the digestive system while cleansing. Marshmallow root contains mucilaginous polysaccharides that help protect and soothe tissues. Licorice and ginger are reported to have antispasmodic and gastroprotective effects.

I recently spoke with a 23 year old woman who was so excited to learn about natural remedies and how to use food and supplements to support her own health. She told me that she had grown her own garden for the first time, and was simply ecstatic to gather all of the information she could about how to live her live in the healthiest ways possible. It was so good to see someone so young who was truly taking an interest, not only in her own quality of life, but also of those around her. You are beautiful Ashley L. It is a true honor and pleasure to know you.
Here is a video that I ran across of another young woman who has taken a true interest in helping herself and in educating others. She is talking about how to decalcify the pineal gland. There is a lot of truly good information in this short clip. I really enjoyed this video, and I think my readers will also.
To find out more about the types of supplements mentioned in the video, visit:
I am seeing a big change now in what a lot of younger people are becoming interested in. That is a good sign. Maybe there is still a lot of hope for the world. These are the people who will be running it soon. It is quite refreshing to see them caring about their own health, the health of others, and even the health of our planet as a whole eco system. What do you think? Are you seeing a change like I am?
