The Whole Truth

I found "Self-Publishing Seminar" on Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts website.

They always have good seminars and information for musicians.

I knew it was for book publishing,

but I signed up because it might have some information for CD publishing also.

It was first time I came to their seminar.

There was a nice small theater and a very energetic, cheerful lady was on the stage.

Andrea Beaman
 - Author of "The Whole Truth How I Naturally Reclaimed My Health, and You Can Too!" & "The Whole Truth Eating and Recipe Guide" -

She started talking about her & her mother's stories about health and how she reclaimed her health.

She explained about why she doesn't take western medicines and conventional foods with pesticides and other dangerous stuff. 

(You can read all in her book - "The Whole Truth How I Naturally Reclaimed My Health, and You Can Too!")

Most of all, she looked really healthy, energetic, fit and radiant!!

I really felt like I woke up!

I knew some of what she was talking about.

My parents raised me in that way when I was in Japan.

I thought there may be some keys to cure my allergy problem in her book!

I thanked her and bought 2 books from her

and read them in that night.

I searched internet about pesticides, genetically modified food, hormons, anti-biotics and so on...

and found some articles which tells those things may cause allergies.

Example 1:

Japanese who have wheat allergy usually don't have allergic reaction to wheat grown in  Japan.

They found out that wheat imported to Japan has more stronger pesticides than one grown in Japan. So that is not really wheat allergy but pesticide allergy.

Example 2:

Genetically modified crops, specially pesticidal crops might have some different effect in our intestines from non-GM crops. They may cause allergies.

I'm not sure and I cannot tell these are truth or not.

There's no long-term research.

But think about all,

Why can I say they are safe to my body?

Pesticides kill insects, harbicides kill weeds, hormons change animals...

Why don't they kill me or change my body???

Specially my allergy has no clue for cure.

I decided to eat only (now mostly) organic food from that day!
