The Dark Truth Behind The Popular Superfood, Quinoa


Posted: 24 Apr 2014 11:47 PM PDT

As the hype around quinoa builds, so do big questions about the problems with its production.

Quinoa is rising up the popularity charts as a food staple in U.S. and Europe. A growing spate of positive coverage cites quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa) as a high-protein grain-like relative of spinach and beets which is a newly discovered gluten-free superfood. Its growing popularity has also spawned a growing source of controversy, following reports that high global quinoa prices put the crop out of reach for the people who grow it.

Many Americans want to get down to the bottom line: Should I eat it or not? Tanya Kerrsen, a Bolivia-based researcher for Food First who studies quinoa, thinks that is the wrong question.

"The debate has largely been reduced to the invisible hand of the marketplace, in which the only options for shaping our global food system are driven by (affluent) consumers either buying more or buying less," she writes. "…whichever way you press the lever (buy more/buy less) there are bound to be negative consequences, particularly for poor farmers in the Global South."

So what should you know about quinoa and its complex story?

Let's begin by looking at the Bolivian Altiplano, the high flat plain in the Andes where quinoa originates, from the perspective you might have if you were to visit. Two and three miles above sea level, the Quechua (modern-day Inca) and Aymara (a people who pre-date the Inca) still live in the same place where they first domesticated quinoa as well as potatoes and many indigenous crops you've probably never heard of: oca, arracacha, kañawa, isaño, papaliza, and much more.

In the north, around Lake Titicaca, you'll encounter warm days and cold nights. Altitudes range from 10,000 feet and up. Here you'll observe a wide variety of crops and livestock: potatoes, barley, lima beans, sheep, pigs, dairy cows, and even guinea pigs (yes, raised for food). You might see some quinoa, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a single llama, even though they were domesticated in this region.

Warning Signs Your Chakras Are Out Of Balance

There are 7 main energy centers in the body, known as chakras. Each chakra is located throughout our body so that it correlates to specific body ailment and physical dysfunctions; each energy center also houses our mental and emotional strengths. When we have a physical issue, it creates weaknesses in our emotional behavior. When we release the stale energy from the body, it can undo any tightness, stiffness, or malfunction of that area.

The clearing of the energy can also balance our emotional state of mind. The Chakra Mind-Body Balance is a two-way street: if there are certain fears and emotions we are holding on to, we experience physical restrictions, too.

If you have achiness or stiffness, or certain reoccurring emotions and fears, read along and you may find out which chakra is affected or blocked.

1st or Root Chakra


Sits at the base of your spine, at your tailbone.

Physical imbalances in the root chakra include problems in the legs, feet, rectum, tailbone, immune system, male reproductive parts and prostrate gland. Those with imbalances here are also likely to experience issues of degenerative arthritis, knee pain, sciatica, eating disorders, and constipation.

Water Charged with Music Energy Has Healing Properties

Physicist from Kazakhstan Vladimir Ivanov charges water with the help of music. Such water, he says, has unique healing properties and can be used as an adjunct to traditional medicine. The scientist uses the works of Bach, Mozart and other great musicians to charge water.

Healing essence

The fact that water has a memory and its quality improves or degrades depending on the nature of the information it carries was known to the ancient healers-Shamans long time ago, who practiced impact on the energy structure of water. One can be skeptical of this, but today the 'magical' properties of water do not seem so magical. Water is a living substance, while human is a watery live being: according to science, more than 70 percent of our body is water.

Laser technology expert Vladimir Ivanov of Almaty, Kazakhstan, under the guidance of Doctor of medical sciences, Professor Guram Pichkhadze have been conducting experiments with water and other liquid media for many years. He argues that water has a tremendous potential. It is only necessary to activate it, and the positive properties of bioactivated water can be used for the purpose of healing! Perhaps, water is the panacea for all ills!

The physicist even created a table like the Periodic table of elements, where he pointed out the parameters of liquids and their impact on the main seven chakras of the human body. Any liquid, whether it is mineral water or alcohol, has its influence on the human body. Liquids, depending on their composition, can have both positive and negative effect.

Music therapy

Ivanov proposes a technique for producing water with unusual properties based the use of music or art therapy. It is known that water can perceive sound waves. The physicist believes that human listens to music not so much with his ears as with the chakras of his energy body: "The algorithm is based on a musical program. In the beginning I tried to activate the saline solution and the vitamin C solution. The results were amazing: all the patients had their aura fully restored.music heart effect Water is charged to a certain potential, then one more stage, and so it must go through five stages, that is 90 hours of continuous exposure."

MercolaOf all the foods Mother Nature provides, few foods offer more of a "botanical bonanza" for your health than garlic. Garlic is a bulbous root closely related to the onion, mentioned in historical documents dating back 5,000 years—before its fame wafted into the rest of the known world.

Speaking of wafting, garlic's nickname "stinking rose" is well-deserved due to its undeniably pungent aroma that some find objectionable, but others find intoxicating.

Numerous studies show garlic's amazing health potential in nearly every area of your body, from clogged arteries to gangrene to preventing insect bites and ear infections. There is even evidence that garlic is able to help slow your aging process. When it comes to this magical bulb, what's not to love?

Garlic Epitomizes a 'Heart Healthy Food'

Like so many other complex plant foods, garlic contains a wide range of phytocompounds that act together to produce a wide variety of responses in your body. Garlic is rich in manganese, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, and vitamins B6 and C, so it's beneficial for your bones as well as your thyroid.

Garlic also helps your body cleanse itself of heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. [1] Green Med Info has also assembled a list of studies demonstrating garlic's positive effects for more than 150 different diseases. [2] In general, its benefits fall into four main categories:
