MYSTERY SOLVED – IS EATING BREAD MAKING YOU SICK?
Finally, I believe, I have found the answer to a question that has been puzzling me for years. Why is it that many gluten-sensitive people or even celiacs can eat bread in Europe without experiencing any reactions, but get sick or at least have symptoms of indigestion when they consume bread in North America?
Breads in Europe are made with yeast. The yeast helps to break down the protein lectin. Lectins can be a culprit for a great variety of health issues. In contrast, since 1950, yeast in North America has been replaced with the rising agent transglutaminase. Transglutaminase is also known as “meat-glue”; it is being used as a binding agent to “glue together” ground meat and seafood. According to Dr. Steven Gundry, transglutaminase makes us more sensitive to gluten. And to make matters worse, transglutaminase is apparently also being used in gluten free products. No wonder so many people are having trouble these days digesting bread, assuming they are gluten-sensitive when in fact, gluten is not the offender.
The need to continuously educate ourselves is of utmost importance. Unfortunately we cannot rely on or trust government and industry to make decisions that are in our best interest.

PLAGUED BY A PERSISTENT COUGH?
Here are some tips and simple home remedies to support the body in overcoming this affliction regardless of what causes the cough.
1. Cut out all mucous forming foods, especially dairy and wheat as well as all foods you know you are sensitive to.
2. Change your diet to at least 70% raw and drink lots of carrot juice and green smoothies.
3. Drink lots of good water – city water is typically full of chemicals and not recommended for consumption on a regular basis.
4. Keep the chest warm with appropriate clothing.
5. Apply poultices to the chest, i.e. onion poultice or castor oil pack (see DVD “Herbal Pharmacy for Everyone”, Disc 2 for instructions)
6. Cough Syrup – homemade, simple yet effective:
Cut up an onion, place in glass jar and cover with honey (honey can be hard; the juice of the onion will liquefy the honey).
Let sit for several hours to several days and strain. Take 1 tsp. as needed.
7. Herbs to use are the ones with anti-microbial properties such as Garlic and Thyme and expectorants for example Mullein (Verbascum thapsus), Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and Fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum-graecum).
You can find good combination teas for the support of the respiratory system at the health food stores.
Inspirational Thought of the Day
“Age is a quality of mind:
If you have left your dreams behind
If hope is cold,
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambition-fires are dead,
Then you are old.
But if from life you take the best,
And if in life you keep the jest,
If love you hold,
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how the birthdays fly,
You are not old. ”

PEACE BEGINS WITH A SMILE
As the seas of the world are rough right now
Let’s remember to build bridges, not walls.
Let’s sow seeds of hope, peace and love.
Let’s foster kindness, trust and tolerance.
Let’s remember that each one of us can make a difference.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. – Mother Teresa

GREEN LIGHT for the 3rd Annual TEDx Wilmington Women’s Conference!
Check it out here https://bit.ly/2ON4VBC
Some people were asking where Wilmington is. Wilmington is in the state of Delaware, about 40-50km south west of Philadelphia. This means, it will be a long day of travel to get to the event, which gives me plenty of time to rehearse my talk in my mind. All this is so exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.
My hope and goal for this event are that my idea worth spreading will touch many people’s lives, provide support for the ailing Earth and truly make a difference for years to come.
Thank you again for all your kind words and support.
Green blessings,

EXCITING NEWS
The other day I received an email from TEDx Wilmington that read: “the TEDxWilmington tribe is delighted to inform you that you have been officially selected from a large pool of applicants to give a TEDx Talk at our 3rd Annual Women’s Conference on Friday, November 30, 2018!”
Even though the event is still pending approval from the TED umbrella organization, I am extremely excited to have been given the opportunity to share my idea worth spreading with a larger audience. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the event will receive the stamp of approval to go ahead very soon. Preparations for this event are intense. In addition to preparing, memorizing and rehearsing the talk, there are different assignments due just about every week. Stay tuned for more information to come…

THANK YOU & WHAT NOW?
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who joined the public screening of GENERATION ZAPPED! It was amazing to see so many of you, willing to take the time out of your busy schedule.
Thank you also to anyone who helped to promote the event including Homesteader Health and the Health Hut. Your support contributed to the success of the event and I greatly appreciate your community spirit.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive despite the fact that the information itself has (understandably) been overwhelming to some.
WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP?
The next step will be different for each one of us, big or small, it does not matter, the most important thing is that you start NOW. For some it maybe getting rid of the smart meter on their house, another person may look into viable alternatives to the wireless baby monitors, simply becoming more conscious about when and how to use a cell phone can make a difference. Some people may begin to start raising awareness through discussions with family, friends and teachers. There are so many different ways and there is no right or wrong. Be conscious of the fact that electromagnetic background radiation impacts our well-being and start making changes NOW. Begin with something that is easily manageable and continue on this path.
Thank you again and as always, green blessings,
Gudrun
