by JB Bardot

(The Best Years in Life) Instead of nurturing humanity through education, healthy eating, natural medicine and planting ancient organic heirloom fruits and vegetables, the Evil Empire of Monsanto and the various committees of the current American administration seem committed to their GMO agenda of taking over the farming and agricultural industries world-wide.

A Rousing Call to Small: 20 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Difference

by JB Bardot

(The Best Years in Life) Are you frustrated about not having the world you want, and not knowing what to do to make it change? You're not alone. In 1976 Peter Finch played the lead in the movie Network, rousing people to stand up and proclaim they were mad as hell and wouldn't take it any more --the tyranny, oppression, and humiliation enforced by the powers-that-be. Thirty seven years later, people are still madder than hell, and most still feel unheard and belittled by the Machine.

Ghandi is purported to have said Be the change you want to see in the world. If you're tired of fighting the system and afraid of what the system will do next, take a stand to commit small steps each day to help yourself evolve into The Change you dream about.

Most people think they have to do something monumental to make a difference -- lead a country, start a movement, write the Great American Novel. Not true! Most people can live their dreams by taking small, less intimidating actions -- regularly. As water dripping repeatedly erodes a boulder, the continual repetition of right action undermines intimidation and builds a foundation for change.  Read More.

Seven Valuable Techniques to Check for Adrenal Insufficiency and Dysfunction

by JB Bardot

(The Best Years in Life) The adrenal glands are located in the body just above the kidneys. Their job is to produce and release certain regulatory hormones. These hormones control the “fight-flight” reactions of the body’s central nervous system and respond to highly charged emotional situations. The other function of the adrenals is to manufacture steroids and sex hormones. Along with helping to manage stress, the various hormones produced help control blood pressure, blood sugar, fluid balance and a myriad of metabolic functions. The main cause of adrenal dysfunction also called adrenal fatigue is stress, of all kinds, ranging from emotional reactions to life’s challenges, to responses by the body to illnesses and nutritional deficiencies. Testing for adrenal dysfunction is necessary to help avoid the more serious adrenal failure whose onset can arise from long term, unchecked stress creating adrenal dysfunction.
