Legion of Little Helpers in the Gut Keeps Us Alive - however: Genetically Engineered Crops May Produce Herbicide Inside Our Intestines

* new research has shown that millions of bacteria exist in a symbiotic
relationship within the human body whose functions are vital to
sustaining life

* research has shown that "gene transfer" can occur when animals eat
genetically modified foods. when this occurs, foreign genes that were
inserted into the food in question transfer into the body of the
organism that consumes them. for example, it is possible that by eating
food made from plants genetically modified to create pesticides that the
cells within the body of the animal which consumes the plant will
themselves begin to produce pesticide.

Always a good idea to recommend people choose Low radiation and avoid high radiation.
Never underestimate the science education of Americants.

Also folks should always remember the inverse square law of any radiation emmitter which says a cellphone 4 times further away from you gives you 1:16th as much radiation... Its not hard to leave some extra distance from the parts you care about. Some phones have antennas that may be 4 times farther from your head than other phones... - Carl

I agree, do not vote for Leland Yee! He opposes protection for both live frogs and live turtles sold in Chinatown; he feels that Asian tradition trumps the issue of animal cruelty. Additionally, he has an abyssmal record on other issues not related to animal rights (particularly tenant issues), and in particular, not being honest about his own voting record.
Click here: BeyondChron: San Francisco's Alternative Online Daily News » Guest Editorial: Yee No Friend to Tenants
http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=2944
Bonnie Knight, San Francisco

Please don't vote for Leland Yee. He supports the very cruel, highly unsanitary, and superstitious practice of eating turtles. Doesn't sound like a bright guy to me. -mt

ELECTION DAY
Michelle's right. And there are other reasons.
Mr. Yee was one of only three San Francisco Supervisors who voted
against Mark Leno's S.F. rodeo ordinance a few years ago.
More recently, Assemblyman Yee authored a bill which would have allowed
the Chinatown live animal market merchants to write their reports in
Chinese only--would have been a nightmare for law enforcement. It
failed, fortunately.
Cheers, Eric Mills, coordinator ACTION FOR ANIMALS

It’s great to hear that California Assemblyman Leland Yee, currently running for the State Senate, supports acupuncture. But to AR activists, it really shouldn’t matter. The fact is that Assemblyman Yee has consistently voted against animal rights concerns – from rodeos to exotic live animal markets. If elected to the State Senate, he will have even more power to block efforts by AR activists to protect animals. This isn’t about race or heritage. Animal rights activists whom I know couldn’t care less about Yee’s race or heritage. To AR activists, it’s about cruelty to animals, and nobody should be given a free ride on that issue just because he belongs to a minority community

EARTHLINGS

Presented by Christine Morrissey
East Bay Animal Advocates

Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, this documentary
film chronicles day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the
world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. It shows the
animal cruelty that occurs every day and it shows what our human
thirst for cheaper and cheaper products and more and more money does
to human beings every day.

Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our
Humanist Coffee House

Got a plan?
You may have seen the ads. They depict tragic scenarios -- mouths clogged
with peanut butter, cookies with nowhere to be dipped - truly, we are warned of
the horrors awaiting those with an inadequate dairy beverage supply.

Out here in the real world, though, there are more pressing issues. There are
questions that might need answers: Who will take care of your kids if you
can't? How can you protect the people you love? If you can't speak for yourself,
who will - and will they care what you think about it?

CSC is proud to present Estate Planning for Everyone, a seminar designed to
answer these and other questions about guardianship, wills, trusts, Advance
Health Care Directives and more. CSC board member Kathleen Hunt, Esq. is the
founder of Unique Law, a law practice serving unique individuals and their
families throughout the greater Bay Area. $15 individual/$25 household. At CSC, 398

# The Endangered Endangered Species Act
Thursday, June 8 7:30-9 pm Free

For over 30 years the Endangered Species Act has been our nation's
safety net for fish, wildlife, and plants on the brink of extinction.
But in 2005 the U.S. House of Representatives voted to gut the
protective provisions of the statute, and several bills to eviscerate
the Endangered Species Act are being proposed in the U.S. Senate. If
these bills become law the natural world is likely to become greatly
impoverished, and as one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the
country the San Francisco Bay Area has much to loose in the process.
Join Brent Plater, Bay Area Director for the Center for Biological
Diversity, as he describes the strength and importance of the
Endangered Species Act and how current legislation will weaken the
law, defines where real improvements in the Endangered Species Act
can be made, and explains what you can do to ensure that protections
for endangered species remain strong.

Brent Plater works on a variety of endangered species and wildlands
protection issues throughout the country. He has been the lead
attorney on several cases brought by the Center, including cases to
protect the southern resident killer whale, the North American green
sturgeon, the unarmored threespine stickleback, the California red-
legged frog and dozens of wild and scenic rivers in the Great Lakes
region. Brent is a graduate of the University of Michigan's School of
Natural Resources and Environment, the University of California,
Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law, and Harvard University's Kennedy
School of Government.

# Please see Organic India, Tulsi and Prashanti at Booth #2 in the Harmony Festival
Dear Tribe,

Come see me at Booth #2 this coming weekend at the Harmony Festival in Santa
Rosa. I will have many of our products there including boxes of Tulsi tea
for a mere $2, that is 60% off the retail price. I will only have about 300
boxes at this price but the rest will be at $4 or 3 for $10. I will also
have a lot of our herbal supplements at $10 for 108 caps, about half price.

Booth #2 is in the the middle of the fair, across from the main alter and
not far from the main gate.

Hope to see you soon. To refresh your memory, below I include an email I
sent out earlier to you talking about what we have been doing in the world.

Prashanti

For more info on the festival see http://www.harmonyfestival.com

Dear Tribe
I would Love to have your help. In 1990 I started an herb company in India
that has since grown to be the largest supplier of sustainable certified
organic & biodynamic Ayurvedic herbs and supports over 100,000 people.
Recently we won the award for the “Most Socially Responsible Company” in the
entire Natural Products Industry. It is all about Market Driven
Sustainability so without you, the consumer, the health professional, the
herbalist, the store clerk, etc, it is impossible to sustain sustainability.
You are the Market so your dollars determine what survives in this world.
We are doing really good work. Please support us by supporting the health
and well-being of yourself, your friends, family and clients with really
wonderful, powerful, potent and pure herbs. I can take orders by phone or
by email. Cash, checks, Visa, MC all work! Below is a longer description
and under that is a list of some of the herbs and prices. Thanks so much for
your help. Thanks so very much!

Prashanti
prashanti at igc.org
415.663.5441 home/office
415.246.1248 Cell

Here is a partial list of many of the herbs that we grow and wildcraft. It
is all sustainable and all Certified Organic by either SGS (Swiss) or SKAL
(Dutch). Many of the herbs are also Certified Biodynamic (Demeter-German).
Where Organics is about purity, Biodynamics and the ancient Vedic techniques
we use are all about power and potency. We also have ISO 9002 and GMP
certifications which are certifications in manufacturing and processing
precise accountability and we are much more fair trade than the ‘Fair Trade’
certifiers require. Our Vision is to not only supply the highest quality
herbs but to also to create financial, cultural and environmental
sustainability in the world and specifically in rural India. As one of the
largest Organic Herb companies in the world we have converted over 2000
farms to Certified Organic, snatching them away from the fangs of Monsanto,
and have trained over 25,000 tribal people to sustainably wildcraft in the
mountains of Northern India and the Jungles of Central India. All told we
support about 100,000 people in India, a number which grows at least 20% per
year. It is such a huge honor to serve so many people and gives me
incredible deep joy to see the smiles on their grateful faces as the health
and strength of themselves, their children, their animals and their land
increases by the month.

Included in my blog is a picture of myself with rural village women in India
plucking the Tulsi leaves used to make our Tulsi Tea. These women come from
extremely low income families or are living on their own. The typical work
that they get is usually very strenuous, stressful, demeaning and difficult.
Working for us in a shady mango orchard plucking an anti-stress healing herb
like Tulsi, an herb that they consider sacred, and earning 2 to 3 times more
than any other job available, is a dream job for them. In just this one
aspect of our business, the Tulsi harvest in the fields of Azamgarh, we
employ 1000 women everyday for four months straight. More than just a
healthy job it also gives them the community of each other. Paying such high
wages and all the extra expenses we incur in taking care of the soil and the
environment are just two reasons why we need your continued support.

Another example of supporting challenged farmers is that we actively seek
out and support women who farm alone due to the death, delinquency or
disappearance of their husbands. Just as dilapidated old houses are
completely restored and renovated in gentrified neighborhoods, so these
women's farms, soil, techniques, profits, health, well-being, and the
well-being of their children are radically improved when we have the
pleasure of working with them.

Since there are few adequate schools in most of rural India, we have also
started and funded a separate organization called the ‘Organic India
Foundation,’ dedicated to building schools and providing a high quality
education to the children of our farms, eventually a better education than
what is available in most metropolitan cities. In November of 2005, at a
festival celebrating our Autumn harvest, Amar Singh, an eminent member of
the Indian National Parliament was so deeply moved by what we have
accomplished that he spontaneously gave out of his own pocket 50 lakh
Rupess, equivalent to $125,000, to the foundation. ‘Seeing is believing’ as
they say and he was obviously impressed with what he experienced.

Though I started this 15 years ago, only recently the work we have been
doing for many years was recognized on a large scale in America when we were
voted the Most Socially Responsible Business of 2005 in the entire Natural
Products Industry which is composed of about 20,000 companies. To me this
is like winning the Nobel Prize for Planetary Sustainability.

Coming out of such a beautiful socially responsible and sustainable context,
I can offer you a line of well tested and effective bottled encapsulated
formulas and single herbs for dozens of indications, from Men's and Women's
energy tonics to Liver/Kidney care, Diabetes support, Lung health,
Intestinal cleansing and many more. We also have a line of Teas based on the
aforementioned herb Tulsi, meaning “The Incomparable One’ in Sanskrit, which
is an anti-stress adaptogen, immune system stimulant, as well as being
wonderful for the mind and spirit.

To assure you of our credibility, we are well established in the
International market and sell by the ton to dozens of the largest
herb/tea/supplement companies in the USA and in Europe. If you are connected
to a larger business I can sell bulk herbs and foods by the ton, or we can
'private label' for you and give you bottles of encapsulated herbs and/or
boxes of Tea. But just because we sell by the ton does not mean I don’t
appreciate every single bottle sold directly to the end user, I really do.
It is one form of social activism as the more healing herbs are used the
more balance there will be on the individual, then on the familial, then on
the community and finally on the entire Society.

As you can see, working with us supports an inner and outer world of
sustainability, supports indigenous cultures, ancient herbal wisdom, self
actualization of health and well-being, and supports the Earth.

If there is something not included here we can grow it, create it, or
possibly source it for you.

I have 15 years experience as an herbalist and Ayurvedic/Vedic health
practitioner and am happy to use my expertise to help you determine which
herbs are best for your constitution and health needs.

If you are a professional and/or represent a community house, a store,
clinic or spa, and you need a discount in order to resell the herbs, you can
get 40% off the bottled encapsulated herb supplements and the pound packages
and 30% off the price of teas if you order $100 or more, mix and match.
Below are all the prices. I am not too strict on that minimum and if you
are not a professional but actually go through a lot of herbs, like I do, we
can work something out.

~Please keep this posting around for future use
~Please forward it to anybody you know: family, friends, professionals,
lists, etc
~Feel free to see me for a consultation at a big discount of my normal rates
~Feel free to call me for any clarification needed or for a free
mini-consultation
~Please stay in touch for Classes I will be teaching
~Let me know if you want to get my Ayurvedic eNewsletter
~In a few months I will do a clinical trial on Turmeric and I need 1000 of
you!

Note that everything here is certified Organic, except the sandalwood, but
that is wild cultivated responsibly in Australia and is a gorgeous
alternative to the non-sustainable Sandalwood from India.

# Ducky Doolittle 6/13!: June 13th / SAN FRANCISCO, CA
The Hot & Bothered Show
Entertaining and astute, Ducky's tales of sex-gone-wrong and sex-gone-right
flow into narratives of how women really orgasm, perverse octopuses, beer
goggles, balls, female ejaculation, weird things found in people's butts, the truth
about butt-gasms, outlawed sex toys, banned books and fear of sex education
in America. Combine all that and you get a hilarious and thought-provoking look
at today's twisted libido.

"We could say that love is the name we give that depth of attention
that allows the essence of someone else to speak back to us
in their own voice in their own way. We let them become visible but in the same moment, because of the selfless nature of attentiveness, also reveal ourselves."

Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi Hosts Art Opening Featuring Harvey Milk Related
Photography to Celebrate SF LGBT Pride Month

To celebrate SF LGBT Pride Month, Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi will host an
exhibition titled “Let’s Put Harvey Milk Back in City Hall!” This show
features Harvey Milk related photographs and memorabilia contributed by:
the San Francisco Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Historical
Society; San Francisco Performing Arts Library and Museum; and the Harvey
Milk City Hall Memorial Committee (photographer Daniel Nicoletta, Nancy
McNally, San Francisco artist and founder of the National AIDS Memorial
Grove in Golden Gate Park, and Rick Hauptman.)

Harvey Milk, one of nation’s first openly gay elected officials in the
nation, became a hero to the LGBT civil rights movement. He was
assassinated at SF City Hall in 1978. To honor his achievements, the Harvey
Milk City Hall Memorial Committee, a non-profit organization, was formed to
commission a sculpture of Supervisor Harvey Milk to be placed in City Hall.

taking another step toward putting Harvey Milk back in City Hall.

# A WONDERFUL SEAFLOW OCCASION! -- Please join us.
http://www.seaflow.org/downloads/healingartsevent.pdf

We are holding SEAFLOW's annual benefit jewelry sale at the beautiful Healing Arts Center in Stinson Beach on Saturday, June 17th from 2 to 6 pm. A five-minute practice, Whale Heart Qi Gong, will be taught at 4pm.

Come play with members of the SEAFLOW pod and peruse the glorious earrings, necklaces, bracelets and anklets that SEAFLOW's co-founder, Vivienne Verdon-Roe, has been busy making for your delight. This year, she has reduced her prices so her jewelry is even more affordable, and 100% of the sales go to our work to protect whales and dolphins and all ocean life.

We are very grateful to Marion Weber, owner of the lovely Healing Arts Center, for her longtime support of Seaflow and for forgoing any usual commission on the sales from this event.

In addition to Vivienne's jewelry,
