First Love for Science

What was the first topic that ever caught your attention to want to know more about our planet?

This is a personal piece today relating to the first topic that ever caught my attention with Nature.  The topic that hooked me and got me interested in Nature is about volcanoes and earthquakes.

When I was a child, I remember hounding my mother about the volcano Mount Saint Helens.  I still remember that on May 18, 1980, Mount Saint Helens roared and surprised the heck out of all scientists.

It wasn’t long after that growing up, that I wanted everything there was to learn about this volcano.  I remember that I did at least three science projects, in papier-mâché, that got better each time with eruption qualities.  Ha!  I also remember my mother introducing me to the other aspects of what was (and is still discovered) about tectonic plates, fault lines, and volcanoes.  I was even introduced to the San Andreas Fault Line.

Through the years, my mother and I have gone back and forth on the increased activity of the low and hardly felt earthquakes.  Literally, your gardening variety of “it looks like it is going in a circle,” followed up with, “why are they saying it is a aftershock from five years ago – when it is a new earthquake?” Nothing on this planet has ever stayed the same for any length of time.  The pole shifts, which are greatly attributed to earthquakes, prove that.

Note: Pole shifts are where the positive and negative energies – flip.  Ah. Magnetic north isn’t really north.  It is more in and towards the Hudson Bay, in Canada.

Since our planet has known magnetic fields, how is it not possibly caused by something we at least hear, feel, or see everyday? (Take into account that Earth is pounded on by energy from space too…..)

There are no effective ways to measure or know when an earthquake will happen or volcano will erupt.  The best technique that comes with studying this area is following the lines and dots where they happen.

For example —

The San Andreas Fault line has started its tall tale signs to something going on beneath the earths crust.  What followed up right behind it two days after it was reported?  The earthquake in China – that has displaced 400,000 people.

Is this a stretch? Not scientifically speaking really. Everything is a hypothesis till it just happens and then it becomes fact.  Check out where the tectonic plates meet up and then look at the fault lines, followed by what I like to call possible “sub” fault lines.

There is always energy moving around the Earth.  We see the energy in our storms and other such avenues. Now, think of the energy beneath us,that is so raw and untamed that even now, still, (sorry for the repeat) we cannot track the next event(s).

Earthquakes and volcanoes is such a fascinating subject because there is one day nothing and then someday something.  It is constantly looking at the past events while maintaining the possible future event.

There are studies in Middle America of the earthquake that rang the bells in Maine – from 1912.

There are studies in Alaska all the time about the earthquake that moved a rock 6 to 8 feet – straight out of the ground – from 1908 or 1918.  (I always misspeak that date.)

There are studies ongoing in Hawaii and Washington State related to volcanoes.

There are still studies about Jakarta blowing itself off the map and now cresting sea level again in Indonesia.

It is a huge topic that is intriguing, with many avenues for science to split off in study.

Disease: Ebola

Evidence is suggesting that Ebola has mutated.  There is a recent outbreak in pigs and first reported today.  Slaughtering infected animals is not going to help, breeds more disease. At this moment – it is only a matter of when will Ebola be an airborne disease.

Taking a closer look at how things are always connected -

Granted this is an observation, but it is what it is.

Facts and proof show that residue seeps into the ground.  Here are a couple of examples:

Rain seeps into the ground, causing a raise in ground water.

You how when someone parks on a grassy spot, you see oil from an oil leak – that seeps into the ground.

Then slash and burning of the rainforests’, different strains of diseases are coming back to life.

Why would slaughtering and burning help in ridding infectious diseases?  Wouldn’t that seep back into the ground? Even by waiting a few years to plant or start another flock, wouldn’t the soil have contaminates?  See animals/The flock would eat the grass – we eat the animals or the plants or both.

Nature sure is funny in ways to get our attention to better preserve her.

Cancer Environment

The environment around us has multiple concentrations of toxins.  This we can all agree on, especially when it comes to certain times of the day.  The number of people that are out and about, the higher toxic fumes from automobiles; people are in the factories; and a slew of other chemicals being released.  The environment around us also supplies the means to counteract different parts of the toxins that plague each of us, in one form or another.

In less than a year’s time, the leading worldwide cause of deaths will be cancer.  Cancer, in any form it may take shape in our bodies, is undoubtedly a silent killer.

At this very moment, our own population here in the United States could have a high number of undocumented walking cancer cases. The chances that early detection will prove to be effective are slim to none. Early detection of cancer could perhaps begin, per most insurance companies guidelines, at thirty to thirty-five years of age, but only for certain types of cancer.

Since cancer is known to come in all forms, be it lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, and all of the above, the most unique things about this disease is: every single case is different, every treatment method is different, and every end result, between life and death, is different.  Since there is no tried and true method to beating any type of cancer that is know, it is best to make every attempt to prevent it.  This is very challenging since science is still trying to understand treatment methods to fight this silent killer.  So, how do we fight what we cannot see? What is the best prevention method?

There is no escaping the environment that we are surrounded by, we all like for the most part where we live, how we live, the location of our jobs and all of the wonderful places that are frequented day in and day out.  Moving to less polluted areas then is out of the question.

The alternative is getting to know our fruits, veggies, and herbs.  If it takes combinations of chemicals to create any type of cancer (or cancers) in our bodies, then it will take combinations to attempt to prevent it.  How do we do this without reinventing the wheel?  How is it possible to decipher the information? Where is the information?

Starting off small – is the tried and true method for anything!  Let’s take a moment and listen to what our body is trying to tell us, before reaching the point of multiple doctor appointments.  Listening to where you hurt, feel a pain, recognize numbness, before you feel a lump, notice a mole shaping weirdly, or best yet, the world is connected, the internet has wonderful pictures.  Does this sound like a hypochondriac? Not when it comes to paying attention to the organic machine that we are, no.  It is taking that second to find out what is happening to you, to recognize that there could be an issue.

Since we are all different and process foods differently due to allergies or another nuance, get a couple of good books to start cross referencing information from it and the internet.  There a ton of great books available now on the topic of prevention methods, or what certain types of foods will do to promote health.  Sitting down and researching your environment, plus your body is a small step that should be done, at any age!

Keep in mind: It takes time for any type of build ups leading to diseases or the common cold.

Talking to a professional never hurts either!  When you don’t feel comfortable with eating certain fruits, veggies, or herbs, ask!  Only you are going to be able to decide what could or could not work for your own body – you are the one listening to it.

Helpful Book to get started: Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A. Balch, CNC  This book is full of several ways to get health, just by consuming different fruits, veggies, and herbs.  It will tell you the what, the why, and the how it is important.

If you are into tea, what a refreshing beverage, try 20,000 Secrets of Tea by Victoria Zak.

Try to keep in mind too, which this is the part where talking to a professional who still practices medicine is important, the body may already have “too much of a good thing,” that could cause cancer too.  There is no exact method of determining who will get cancer just that the environment and what we consume have a lot to do with it.  Balance is the next small step to take.
