Why Is Autism So Drastically on the Rise? An Environmental Horror Story

Statistics released earlier this spring by the Centers for Disease Control revealed that one in 88 U.S. born toddlers has an autism spectral disorder—from the less severe Asperger’s Syndrome to the so-called classical form of the ailment. Worse, it’s not just a North American phenomenon; Belli also reports a 57 percent spike in Asia and Europe.

Reclaiming Ag in Oakland

“For ten years people in Albany have tried to turn the Gill Tract into an urban farm and more open space for the community,” explains Jackie Hermes-Fletcher, an Albany resident and public school teacher for 38 years. “The people in the Bay Area deserve to use this treasure of land for an urban farm to help secure the future of our children.”

Mystery of the Disappearing Bees: Solved

Thousands of scientific sleuths have been on this case for the last 15 years trying to determine why our honey bees are disappearing in such alarming numbers. “This is the biggest general threat to our food supply,” according to Kevin Hackett, the national program leader for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s bee and pollination program.

5 Outdated Concepts to Remove From Public Schools

30 Life-Enhancing Things You Can Do in 30 Minutes or Less

Many of us attempt to measure our happiness based on the duration of certain favorable experiences in our lives. The longer a favorable experience lasts, the happier we think we’ll be. But the truth is, life is simply a string of small, independent moments that are always changing.

How Psychedelic Drugs Can Help Patients Face Death

Grof kept careful notes of his many psychedelic sessions, and in his various papers and books derived from those sessions, he described cancer patients clenched with fear who, under the influence of LSD or DPT, experienced relief from the terror of dying — and not just during their psychedelic sessions but for weeks and months afterward. Grof continued his investigations into psychedelics for the dying until the culture caught up with him — the recreational use of drugs and the reaction against them leading to harsh antidrug laws.

Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Meltdown Converge to Create Global Perfect Storm

That the world community has yet to come together to address this nuclear catastrophe, which will most assuredly affect every square inch of the planet, is even more inconceivable. Just like the BP Gulf Oil Spill, the moment has been seized by those who would rather take advantage of this ‘distraction’ instead of using the opportunity to systematically shut down the entire industry.

5 Ways to Improve the Public School Experience with Unschooling Techniques

Very little about being confined in school resembles the “real world”. Why not get children out in it as soon as possible?

Yin and Yang – Cosmic Harmony

Developing their own bartering currency is allowing locals to participate in an beneficial homegrown economy. Could this happen in America as austerity comes home to roost?

Planting by the Moon

As centuries passed, ancient civilizations learned that some of the celestial objects they had called stars were actually planets. The planets also were given characteristics, and all living things were placed under both the sign of a planet and a zodiac sign

Prepping for Freedom Day!

This could be an incredible opportunity for the human race, if we are adequately prepared in terms of getting our physical needs met, as well as developing the mental and philosophical maturity that is required for the establishment of a free society.

Be What You Want To Be: It’s Time To Be Free

So let’s give ourselves absolute or total freedom, to think, to speak and to do what we really want to. This does not mean becoming selfish or license to cause injury to others. On the contrary, a person who values his freedom will immediately realise the value of others’ freedom. Absolute freedom means freedom for all.

Cannabis Cured Cancer (Video)

Was marijuana the first ever cultivated plant? Did cavemen use this wild growing herb to speed up his language skills? Throughout history, cannabis has been used by healers, religious groups, artists, and agriculturalists to elevate health, mind and spirit. Now science is proving again and again that marijuana has many powerful effects on the human mind and body and should be free for consumption rather than prohibited by corrupt bureaucracies.

‘John of God’ Cures Thousands in Brazil

Every week using mainly his hands but also armed with scissors, a knife and scalpel, Joao Teixeira de Faria, a self-styled Brazilian medium and “psychic surgeon,” treats thousands of sick people who claim to be cured. Among those who have sought the services of the healer known as “John of God” has been none other than Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the popular Brazilian ex-president, now said to be in remission from larynx cancer.
