In recent times many of us have had to deal with colossal disappointments in the form of personal, political, economic, and even ecological disasters. This has caused many of us to feel a loss of control and a feeling of absolute powerlessness in our personal lives. Who could possibly imagine that cooking – slaving over a hot stove – could be a source of empowerment? How absurd! Yet, given some thought, it really is a true expression of freedom of choice, which in itself is power. Imagine having the freedom to choose health over illness; to choose nutritious whole foods over the addictive processed foods.

Magnetic Water

Apr 10, 2011 12:15PM

It has been said that putting water over magnets changes the molecular structure of the water. In the book, Discovery of Magnetic Health by George J.Washnis and Richard Z. Hricak, Dr. Barefoot states that the "hydroxylation of water by magnetism creates a digestive environment that simulates the absorption of minerals." The authors expansively cover biological effects of magnetic fields, electromagnetic vs. permanent magnets, comparison of poles, case studies, and how to apply magnetotherapy for a wide variety of conditions.
