Dear brothers and sisters,
In this issue we are pleased to present a most creative pecan pie recipe by Live Food Master Chef Diana Hirsch. We also present some new products including alive mango strips, a variety of wonderful sea vegetables and our delicious sunflower butter. On sale this February are a number of products including pumpkin seed butter and coconut mango persimmon butter as well as Desiree pesto and hempseed butter. We celebrate February as Chocolate Ecstasy Month with our handcrafted chocolates.Our pleasure to present a video with world teacher Victoria Boutenko singing in praise of green smoothies. We also cheer Ursula on. She’s aspiring to be an Olympic champion and has just set a new world record. She loves our own butter! In the World Mind we feature a number of articles on the dangers of cell phones.One we especially like is called “Cell phones are the cigarettes of the 21st century”. We also include an obituary on the swine flu hoax.
Last week we received an email from Dr. Gabriel Cousins MD on the dangers of full body scanning at airports.He is a tireless researcher on the path of natural healing. As director of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Nogales, Arizona he has guided many on the path back toward wellness. He has written a powerful essay on the dangers of the x-ray machines that are now being introduced at airports to x-ray people. What Dr. Cousins has to say is so important that we have taken the liberty of reproducing some excerpts from his letter: --
...these X-ray machines, being field tested at JFK, LAX, and Orlando, penetrate a few centimeters into the skin and reflect back out a naked body image. While some will view this as a personal violation, this is not the immediate problem.
 Those implementing this near-sighted, and ultimately genocidal, agenda have deliberately ignored the outstanding research of Dr. John Gofman, Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley (photo left) showing that THERE IS NO SAFE DOSE OF IONIZED RADIATION. This statement is based on years of serious unbiased research. Ionizing radiation in the X-ray spectrum damages and mutates both chromosomal DNA and structural proteins in human cells. If this damage is not repaired, it can lead to cancer. X-rays also damage the interior walls of the arteries. These radiation damaged cells are unable to process lipoproteins correctly, resulting in atherosclerotic plaques and mini tumors in the arteries thus stimulating atherosclerosis and heart disease.
Dr. Gofman’s studies indicate that radiation from medical diagnostics and treatment is a causal co-factor in 50% of America’s cancers and 60% of our ischemic (blood flow blockage) heart disease. He stresses that the frequency with which Americans are medically X-rayed “makes for a significant radiological impact.” The bottom line is that the more people are exposed to these higher doses of radiation the greater their risk of real life-threatening cancer and heart disease.
I am urging you to start expressing your concern now. We must strongly protest to convince authorities that this is a dangerous, thoughtless, and genocidal approach, which will increase the risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and brain damage to our population.
Our comments:-
Dr. Cousins has rightly pointed out that there is no safe level of ionizing radiation. Millions of people at airports will exposed to excessive levels of radiation -as if cancer rates in America were not rising fast enough! It seems that breast tissue is extremely susceptible to radiation-induced cancer, confirming warnings by numerous experts that mammograms can initiate the very cancers they may later identify. Dr. Gofman believes that medical radiation is a co-factor in 75% of breast cancer cases. As Dr.Cousins says, the risks of women dying from the radiation from these machines far outweigh the risk of death caused by a terrorist high-jacking airplanes.
Dr.Cousins refers to this scheme as “genocidal” in terms of its effect upon health. Where we differ from Dr. Cousins is his lack of emphasis on the fact that airport travelers will be photographed in the nude. He notes it only in passing. We take a different view. Images of the naked bodies of elders, of moms with kids,of pregnant women and of young people will now become the domain of Big Brother. Even babies, we imagine, will be x rayed! Who knows what untoward thing they may be concealing in their diapers?! “Is there such thing as privacy extant the world?”,we ask. Not to mention modesty. What have we come to that we allow some zombie at an airport to view our naked bodies? Suppose you get pulled over for traffic ticket- right now the cop can download a record of your every transgression but with this he’ll get a bonus- an image of your naked torso!
We eschew conspiracy theories but we feel compelled to ask what’s behind this? Whence arises the compulsion to produce millions of images of naked Americans? What’s going on here?
Most curious is the one-two punch nature of the assault .First there is the insult to our physical well-being and then there is the assault on our dignity.The latter is an attack on our humanity,a spiritual attack,if you will. To be coerced into disrobing just to get on an airplane is both intimidating and debilitating.Could this really be a training in meekly and docilely submitting? If so, one can only speculate as to what next is coming down the road.
It seems to us that a fundament of this America is decency and respect;respect for the dignity of every American underlies every sentence of the Bill of Rights. “How could this nightmare be perpetrated in the America of Benjamin Franklin,Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln?”,we ask. I suppose that this is what is meant by “change you can believe in”.

Alive Organic Sunflower Butter |
| |
Our
newest creation.Beginning with organic sunflower seeds
we have added our unique Living Tree Alive Black Sesame
Oil. We have also added alive Brazilian Honey and a
dash of Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt as natural preservatives.
Sunflower seeds are very high in Vitamin E, a highly
effective anti-inflammatory and immunity enhancer. Studies
have shown strong links between Vitamin E and eye health.
Additionally, just 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds provides
half the daily recommended serving of Vitamin B1, or
Thiamin, which helps the body to convert blood sugar
into energy and strengthens the immune system. Sunflower
seeds are also high in pantothenic acid, known to reduce
the effects of acne and aid in the healing scars and
wounds. Overall, sunflower seeds are calorie for calorie,
one of nature's most potent forms of nutrition.
Sesame oil is one of the oldest oils known man, with
samples as much as 3000 years old being found by archaeologists
in India and Persia. This ancient healing oil is high
in manganese, copper, and calcium, along with two chemicals
totally unique to sesame seeds, sesamin and sesamolin.
Sesamin has been shown to increase the body's ability
to burn fat while also decreasing its fat storage capacity,
making it an increasingly popular supplement for weight
loss. Research shows that sesamolin can protect the
liver from oxidative damage. When rubbed on the skin,
sesame oil has been known to relieve sunburns, aid in
the healing process, and, according to some reports
even reduce wrinkles.
Keep refrigerated.

The
Green Smoothie Song
World Record Broken!
Ursula Grobler, 29, of
UW Training Center, rowing as a lightweight, has just set
the World Record for Lightweight Women 19-29
with a time of 6:54.7.
She loves our Almond
Butter. As she says:-
Living Tree Alive Organic Almond Butter is my stable
diet. I use it in my protein smoothies, or with fruit,
as a dessert. There are no preservatives; it tastes
fresh, clean and alive! Braving the elements daily,
I feel the energy from the Almond Butter keeps me going,
and even helps keep me warm!
I train for about 4 to 6 hours
a day. Rowing is classed as a power endurance sport,
so you need the strength of a sprinter, but the endurance
of a marathon runner. You need to touch a little of
everything, and keeping my nerves fresh to react to
the intense technical aspects also means I need to be
on top of what I eat. I'm training hard everyday because
I have a dream to get to the London Olympic Games in
2012 representing the USA. And I know with the right
support, like I'm getting from Living Tree, I'm able
to go for gold!
Thank you Jesse and all the family
of the Living Tree for caring about us!
Yours Sincerely
Ursula Grobler |

They stood
up in Berkeley. Here in the '60s you stood up too. You
became the conscience and spokesman of humanity. You
shed your individual persona and for a moment become
universal. Your word reverberated from Berkeley to the
world.
