Graviola Beats Chemo in the Fight Against Cancer

Soursop from the Graviola tree…..cancer killer or just forbidden fruit?

Here's the Graviola Tree with fruit, or Soursop by its english name

Have you heard of the Graviola Tree?  Or it’s english name, soursop?
Here is a verrry controversial topic that has this Brazilian fruit being touted by some as a ‘cancer killer’ !!Here is what is being tossed around the web…“10000 times stronger killer of Cancer than Chemo”.. do share it.. can save many lives, fill up hopes and build confidence in the patients…
The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale. So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all.
It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects. If you have the space, plant one in your garden. The other parts of the tree are also useful.The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.The truth is stunningly simple:
Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionise what you, your   doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances   of survival. The future has never looked more promising.
Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be   possible to:
  • Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy   that   does not cause extreme nausea,    weight loss   and hair loss
  •  Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections * Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment * Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life.
The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of   America ‘s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests   conducted since the 1970′s! What those tests revealed was nothing short of   mind numbing…
Extracts from the tree were shown to:
  • *Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer,   including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
  • The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the   growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug! * What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.
It does not harm healthy cells!The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively   researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it?

If Graviola extract   is as half as promising as it appears to be–why doesn’t every single   oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her   patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health–and for   many, our very lives(!)–are controlled by money and power.

Graviola–the plant that worked too 

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely   natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable.

There’s no way to make   serious profits from it.It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesise two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients.   If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola   so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back.

Alas, they  hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated.
There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it  poured into research.As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.

Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!”
Wikipedia says soursop may be effective in treating infections and some forms of cancer, but the data is lacking.What do I think?

 Well, I would advise people not to believe this blindly, but consult a doctor or oncologist before putting ALL your marbles in one bag…………….but it is worth watching!

Itinerant Life Style

 
At Lorne Station Caravan Park - Lightning Ridge
Itinerants, other ways called Wayfarers or Nomads are people who chose to live traveling and working seasonal jobs, like fruit picking, for example. Jobs that ideally suite those people and their lifestyle, as they like to “follow the sun” chasing the changing seasons countrywide. And... Australia is unique country with a lot of space for travel. One can live whole life in this country and never get bored with traveling her from one end to the other, being quite a few thousand kilometers. 

This requires, of course, appropriate living arrangements.
For short term tents or swags are frequently used, as they are cheap in comparison with caravan, easily replaceable and don't require special registration, towing and other costs. Most of the time it is, though, a caravan or motor-home. This days the motor-homes are often a veritable road-mansions (for example: a a huge fifth wheeler, road-home caravans and similar monsters). Most of the time, though, people are quite happy with just an old bus, transformed into the motor-home, which is by the way, often quite a bit more roomy and comfortable than an average single bedroom flat, with built in wardrobes, and its micro kitchen with hardly enough room to move in. All such, have, of course appropriate arrangements with power and gas fitted, and all amenities, in various arrangements, inside and outside, depending of the size or rather capacity of the user's pocket.

As in Australia are often visible even very old caravans, fairly cheaply available, with solar installation, big Battery bank on-board and double electric installations, with 12V system (or sometime 24V) alongside with 240V, as the modern power inverters transform the 12V into 240V very efficiently this days, with just a little bit power loss, but saving costs of expensive 12V cable installations, that have to be heavy and thick to be efficient. Today, one can buy solar panels on E-bay very cheap in comparison with the retail pricing – I suspect this days it is so all over the world – and batteries also fall significantly in the price. Therefore, for about 2000 $A is possible to equip caravan, camper-van or motor-home with very efficient power system using nothing but the average household electric appliances, that are a lot cheaper of what one can get in the tourist applications market.
When using the newest LED globes, where one globe of some 60 to 80 LED's gives more light than old 100W incandescent globe used to do, one uses some 4W to 5W of power, DC or AC, as they are available at almost the same price through e-bay. At the price of 17.95.00 $A, I got 5 of them on e-bay. This is true, that I had to wait for a few weeks month for the delivery, but this will serve me well for years to come, and very, very cheap. The lite spectrum is identical with the traditional incandescent globe, and they use so little power that I am not worried to live them on when I leave my caravan for a few hours, as the lightning give deterrent factor to eventual amateurs of other people properties. So far works fine with me, and I never over-drained my batteries.
I use two 105Amper/hours AGM batteries for my main power use, all up = 210 a/h, for lights. For main lighting I use 5m stripe of 12V warm light LED's, with light spectrum of incandescent globe agreeable with my eyes, and two 4W/240V LED bulbs (also warm light spectrum) in both my caravan rooms. AS my caravan had no 12V installation, having been an oldie but goodie, I installed the LED strip myself just for lights, and all the rest of my electric needs I realize by using my 1500W-3000W surge inverter, connected to my two batteries battery bank. I use a fan, lights, laptop, and occasionally TV to watch movie or two. With 210 a/h power bank, I never run in trouble with batteries running out of power. And I like often staying long nights, writing and/or browsing Internet or otherwise working with my laptop. The laptop uses only 30W f power, though, less then the LED TV I have. I have separate 100a/h battery dedicated to my 92 litre capacity fridge/freezer working of 12W installation direct from the battery, with its own 120W solar panel. I use two 120W foldable solar panels for my main power bank, and so far this is working just perfect, with enough power for all my needs. So far, I never run out of power in either my main installation or the fridge set-up.
I cook on camping LPG gas stove, with inbuilt grill and baking facilities, that I purchased on E-bay for just 250.00 $A. Cheaper than many other home appliances, slightly smaller to fit caravans, but just as good, if not even better and more efficient.
I got inbuilt onto the wall inside caravan the shower heater working from the same installation as the stove, but as my caravan is only 16 footer, I decided install my shower as a quickly demountable installation outside the caravan, at its wall. Each time I stay camping for more then one day I fit it there.
Instead of an annex, troublesome to erect and heavy, too, I use quickly set and folded 3m * 3m gazebo, which work just as fine, and I paid for it 165.00 $A together with postage and handling costs, comparing to nearly 2000 dollars needed for the roll out annex, or just slightly less for the traditional one, with all its troublesome fittings, etc. Gazebo appeared to be light, very quickly set by just one person, and just as quickly demountable at moving.
I have small 850W inverter/generator, for the heavier electric jobs, like using the small, old type washing machine, and/or some other electric tools when I rarely need it. I used it only twice in nearly 4 years for recharging my battery bank, as it was for over two weeks very cloudy and raining. The generator used just 2.1 litres of petrol (the tank capacity) for nearly 7 hours of uninterrupted running to power battery charger, fridge and all my computer and all light. In running just my computer and later TV with lights on, I run it ones for almost 9 hours on its 2.1 litre petrol tank. This is quite cheap I reckon. Besides this, I use my genie very rare, occasionally when I do some work with my power tools, and when I need to do washing when far from any locally available laundry, and which is not so very often.
After calculations, that what I had had to spend in power and gas costs while on the Grid, living in the City in one year – and with very heavy saving on using the power and gas - covered easily all my installation costs with none caring any more on saving on power or gas, and still started saving me money in less than one year. Of course. I did all installation myself, as electricians tend to charge quite a lot, and it is just a very basic installation, easy to make by anyone.
As a final outcome, I landed up with old, but comfortable caravan with all amenities that I feared to use while living in the city, but having no more problems now, and living practically a lot more comfortable, with less worries and problems, healthier and a lot happier. And I think, the life is worth it, even if sometime, it can be a bit less comfortable otherwise. Just different lifestyle, but in overall a lot healthier and more enjoyable.

Self Reliance - Living Without the Power Grid


  There is a lot of materials this days, about alternative energy and its uses. Survivalists also take vivid interest in this, as well as increasingly large numbers of other people sick to death of the inexcusably high energy costs of energy (electric power and gas)on the Power Grid. 

Although, even if it is true that some wide-eyed environmental fanatics and greenies, are frequently hijacking on Internet issues of the cheaper life,outside the Power Grid, and trying to transform it all into their own damned Political Correctness rubbish pile, it doesn't change the fact that it is worth to have a good  look into this closer, and try to get yourself independent. Anyone can do it, if you only have a pair of healthy hands willing to do some work, and if you still own your brains, having them not brainwashed yet and willing to think for yourself, by yourself, and not by someone's else head...

But anyway... We find on the big Net also lot of very sensible, down to earth and easy to apply, very useful materials that can be really good base to start from if you happen to have interest in having your life a lot freer, and lots cheaper than living totally dependent of the, Energy Grid.

At the Universal Life League, we apply to all matters the no-nonsense, just Common Sense, approach always. Besides this, quite a few of us – including myself – happen live outside of the Power Grid, in the outback, having been either completely, or at least partially independent of it.Some of shear necessity, some other by choice. Those ones can show the others how it can be done the best way, and how it is being done since long time in some cases.
We do not do it out of curiosity, or some silly political correctness of any kind, or out of any other motives that would be in common with Political Correctness of Greenies or Enviro-fanatics. We stay out of ANY politics as far we only can.,
We just simply don't enjoy, and don't want to be continually ripped-of by the ever more voracious Establishments of Greed and Total Control, or in some cases, simply can't even afford to connect to the Grid, or can't do it for many other, very valid and important reasons. Therefore,  here we meet to mutually help each other in making our lives easier, cheaper, more comfortable and more humanly by collective effort in sharing important information on How To Do it, Do It Yourself projects, etc.
We just do it to live our files as free and independent as possible, making it at the same time the life A LOT cheaper and, more enjoyable.
In doing so, we got no worries if even all power companies shall switch off the gas or electricity this summer, or winter, and when, and for how long, etc. etc. And, in particular – we don't have to worry any more how much THEY – The Greedy Bastards - will again rise the power and gas costs. Bugger them all to hell, the ever hungry, never satiated greedy mongrels!
We really can relay on ourselves and gain an independence of THEM, if we only make some effort. And, believe me, such Self Reliance is not only good for your economy, it feels even better, feels great, and it is also a lot cheaper to apply than one could ever think of of. 

First thing you just need to do to start the change for better is - switch off the Stupid Box, seriously start disbelieving in anything of what the Establishment's' hysteria, propaganda and manipulating brainwash networks have on offer to you - as the hysteria, spreading fears and doubts in your own abilities and other-ways manipulating and brainwashing people is their own and often only existing goals... Just start relayingt on your own abilities and possibilities to do things on your own.
Here I present the You Tube movie on one such example in Australia, where young block builds his own system by very simple method and lives now independent of the Power Grid.hat 
This is a great example of how easy it is to do it, and in fact how cheap. The cost of installation returns costs of used power and gas even within a first year, and next year this goes on, all for free since then on... 

Of course, there is a small maintenance cost, sometime one needs to replace a battery, etc, but all in all, these cost are a fraction of the fraction of that, how much we keep on getting being ripped off by the power companies.

Kalanchoe Pinnata - Life Leaf

Here I'll talk now of the plant known as the Leaf of Life or the Miracle Leaf and known under scientiffic name as a, Kalanchoe Pinnata. 
It is a real blessing to the people who know what it is and how to use it...
This plant is one of the large plant family of, succulents, like Alloe

It's a High Time Now.

By: Zbysh Holasa

There is a noticeably increased flow of people using Tourist and Caravan Parks industries, who are in the so called Baby Boomer age. Many of them like to call themselves Gray Nomads. I'm also in that age bracket, but I don't overly love to be called a Gray Nomad, even if I am one as a matter of fact.

 I rather prefer simple, Nomad, which I consider myself to be, for my love of travel and nature, but gray, bold or some other age underscoring adjectives I don't particularly favor. Especially that there are traveling together many people who prefere this style of life, but are neither grey, nor bold nor even aged, having been bright beautiful young and middle aged people, sometime even with their children sharing this lifestyle.

The industry however noticed the suddenly increased number of these type of traveling people and the greediest of them very soon rose all their rates real badly, what pushed out of reach of even basic affordability most of these pensioners, especially those in the lower pension rate bracket, who really are a majority. Now the very same unscrupulous operators complain of Gray Nomads, because they learned how to avoid the greediest of them like a disease, and camp for free, sometimes in just quite short short distance from those grossly overpriced, grossly inadequate to their needs and preferences , so called "Caravan Parks" with their arrogant, pompous pseudo-business operators.

I say here “so called” as they are not at all caravan parks any more for all the meaning and purposes the caravan park is supposed to serve. They shouldn't be classified and called Caravan Parks as they are the Caravan Parks no more at all. They are operating completely outside of the caravan park principles.These greedy operators just use such name, but they transformed their caravan parking places into Cabins. Doing so, with just cabins available, but none or just very few caravan parking places and proper for passing by caravans amenities they started directly competing with motels and hotels, providing not nearly similar to them quality and value of service, but charging often even higher rates then a hotel or motel. Some of them - the most vocal ones - started actually charging rates that could put in shame even some 4 or 5 star hotels, but with nothing to offer in exchange for this brazenly extorted money, except their greed, and arrogant screaming for more control over our hard earned money.

And they cry, rape, they do not want our services! Force them to come to us! Force them to pay us no matter what!  We want their money, and they don't want to come to us!!!

Yes... They are really poor buggers, aren't they? All these greedy, crooked, arrogant, unscrupulous operators. They have such a hard life, don't they? May be we ought to let them rip us off saing nothing, as they wish it to be so?,  May be we should let them extort from us our money and say nothing? Not even a word!... May be we ought to lest us get intimidated? That certainly would be a big help to them, wouldn't it be? But, well, some people - like me amongst them - just can't agree with any of that for some reasons to them incomprehensible. May be that strange or so, but I think it isn't right at all...

For the first thing of all. Armed with knowing there are there some greedy mongrels waiting to rip me and other people off, I think how to secure myself against it. So I buy a caravan, equip it - often with a lot of expense of money and labor - with amenities I need so that I don't have to use the incredible overpriced, inflated “services”, like a power for example, etc. Why should I, if I got my own amenities, including solar or dual battery system, or both of them combined, an/or generator or wind power, etc?! All I need is only the place to park my rig, whatever it would be at the given moment, in reasonably peaceful and quiet place and enjoy the nature and life. But now, look what they do?!


They want to make, of all Australia even if given a chance, one gigantic Big Brother controlled so called "National Park". All this controlled by a few with highest greed and power-lust, who are ready to do all in their power to hang on to their power by all means and possibilities. I'm afraid, in the future perspective all this can start looking rather more like one big Concentration Camp, equipped all around with all possible fences, legal control barriers, and charging for all these fees higher even than a luxury hotel rates... And who does it now?

Guessed?

Yes! Our own, elected by us, government. And all these under the disguise of caring. And they do it openly and with no shred of shame, and in direct competition with the greediest, most unscrupulous operators over there, instead of keeping them in check and bring them to the account of their shameful unscrupulous greed..

Where do we know this from already?! It seems so familiar, doesn't it?

But... Saying all this, I have to say that I don't mean at all that all Caravan Parks are the same.

 Not all are rip offs and greedy operators. In my traveling all over Australia I found many nice quiet places with their very kind, in every way very helpful operators, and with very reasonable rates that everyone would find just fine, with great amenities often for free or offered for reasonable fees in some other places. Those are the people and places worth to mention and I will mention them here often as the help to the fellow traveler, so that one can have their the trip memorable with great stay time and unforgivable experiences. Now I'll say a few words of one of such Good Guys...

One of them is a Lorn Station at Lightning Ridge in NSW. 

The Lorn Caravan Park situated at the Lorn Station is situated some 5 km outside the Lightning Ridge in a sort of the valley between ridges. When getting to the town from the highway, you hit the town center, then turn right onto the Opal Street and continue that way straight up, till the sealed road finishes at the Kangaroo Hill with a big Tram on the left. Continue then on that dirt road, till you see the big sign written red on white board informing on the Lorn Caravan Park turn to the right, then continue for 2 km more km till you reach the station.

Sometime there is nobody, as people go around their business and all set-up looks very informal and friendly. Rustic in style, Lorn Caravan Park provides all amenities needed and rates are great, especially for the Gray Nomad type of traveler, or any other rather low budget travelers. There is office building on the left, often closed, but there is a trust box left outside with envelopes to write in your info and put the money into. There are also phone numbers to call to if needed further assistance. There is also always someone camping there, who is orientated in the surroundings, who'll be willing to assist if needed. An owner of this place, Damian, is a very nice and helpful guy who will go out of his way to assist you there. At present it is very likely that a vary friendly Brazilian lady Maria, taking care of the amenities there will give you a short tour of the place and help you with all info needed. there are many interesting things going on all around the town, as Lightning Ridge is an opal mining town, and it happens to be the most valuable opal in the world, the Black Opal. There are also few cabins, if someone wish to get them, but there is a lot of room for even huge rigs, and other Mansions of the Road, but plenty of room for plain tent. If you prefere a bush camping, you are free to go bush around. You can literately experience here the rustic, but wonderful country lifestyle for real. There is great kitchen with everything you need to cook, with working gas stove included in the price. Toalet has two showers with hot and cold water. And I have to mention this too, the hot water here is really hot, not tepid like in many other places with much higher rates, there are two washing machines coin operated doing their job great for 3.00 dollars a wash. The water is from the Station's own water bore, great to drink, and with some great mineral content testing great too. There is also, slightly out of the town a Hot Water Bore. It has the mineral content as all water in Lightning Ridge but with addition of also some sulphates, what make is to be of great balneological (healing water aplications) use. It has healing qualities, and many older people experienced the goodness of the Lightning Ridge's hot water with sulphates, that eases arthritic and rheumatic conditions, amongst many other. Miners of Lightning Ridge use its shower after their work every day, easing their sour muscles and enjoying it every day. And it is for free!...

Here a few words about rates at the Lorn Caravan Park:
Unpowered sites are A$10.00/night or if stay for longer time around A$ 8.00/night.
Powered sites are A$25.00/night or if stay longer time, around A$ 20.00/night.
Cabins are more expensive, at the rate of A$50.00/night, with possibly lower rates if stay over 7 days.
If you'd decide to stay for some months, or even years like many people do here, there are also fully equipped bush houses to rent for longer term, for A$150/week.

 And, here is a very useful to all lecture, especially for the young, but also very useful for the not so young any more, who have doubts if it is worth to fight for ones rights and freedom. See in the book how and where our freedom and rights will end if we are too complacent with what politicians do in our own name. This is what already happened in large extend under the Communist System, and this is what our world is heading to if we never react and believe that it will somehow get better just by itself... I strongly believe that to have the courage and the will to say loudly and clearly NO, is our duty towards our own and our children's future, including our rapidly deteriorating freedoms and rights already now.

I highly recommend to all the lecture of George Orwell,s book titled “1984”, sometimes known also as the “Year 1984” This book shall show you an incredibly penetrating inside of this man into the future – our present time and forward – already in the early 19 century. I highly recommend this lecture to everyone to read and compare with what happens right now. It is a high time now.
