Here's an article about different ways to publish:

I'd make patriarchy (dominator society) end--all aspects of it, including war.

Sharing from Facebook via Charlene Bloodworth—I think she’s the one who actually wrote this:

The drug industry is constantly trying to convince you that drugs are good for your health while nutritional supplements and healthy foods are somehow bad for you. This same line of nonsense is also repeated by the FDA, which goes out of its way to censor the truth about the healing properties of natural foods like walnuts, cherries and berries. (http://www.anh-usa.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Walnut-LEF-article-by-Bill-Faloon1.pdf)

The drug industry and the FDA are, of course, just plain wrong about all this. Although their advertisements show happy, healthy people taking pharmaceuticals, in the real world, people who take their drugs are extremely unhealthy, depressed and highly toxic.

But don't take my word for it: Check out the people walking in and out of pharmacies versus the people who visit health food stores:

• People who visit pharmacies tend to have toxic livers, poor kidney function (because drugs damage the kidneys), wild mood swings, terrible digestion and elimination capabilities, poor skin health, poor posture, low energy, sleep disorders and sexual dysfunction. They tend to be suicidal while living in chronic pain. They have huge medical expenses that often send them into bankruptcy.

• People who visit health food stores tend to have healthy skin, happier outlooks, better energy, better sex lives, healthy sleep, healthy hearts, healthy liver function and greatly improved brain function. They are more creative, adaptable and optimistic, and they tend to enjoy their lives. They spend relatively little on health care expenses while investing their money in organic foods, green products, medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements.

The choice is up to you

Which group would you prefer to join? You can choose either one by deciding what to put in (or on) your body. If you choose to contaminate your body with pharmaceuticals and medications, you will experience increased liver and kidney toxicity, reduced cognitive function, skin health problems, sexual dysfunction, mood disorders and other such problems.
On the other hand, if you choose to nourish your body with superfoods, organic products, healing herbs and nutritional supplements, you will experience a more healthful and joyful life with improved brain function and memory, healthy skin, stable moods, abundant energy, restful sleep and healthy fertility, among other benefits.
The pharmaceutical industry wants you to choose their drugs, of course, and they don't care what happens to your health and happiness as a result. In fact, the worse your health gets after taking their drugs, the more of their drugs you'll need! The side effects of one drug become the "disease" that's treated by another drug, so it's all great for repeat business!

Keeping you ignorant

What the drug industry and the FDA absolutely do NOT want you to learn is that healing foods, herbs and supplements make virtually all pharmaceuticals obsolete. If you really knew the truth about what these items can do to protect your health and cure degenerative disease, you'd probably never take another chemical pill in your life. That's why the FDA works so hard to censor nutritional supplements and make sure they can't make truthful, scientifically-validated claims on their labels. (http://www.anh-usa.org/tell-the-fda-that-cherries%E2%80%94and-now-walnuts%E2%80%94are-not-illegal-drugs/)
The FDA has even gone after healing foods. The scientific literature says conclusively that walnuts lower high cholesterol. It's the natural result of eating the healthy plant-based oils in the walnuts. The FDA, however, has threatened walnut companies with fines and imprisonment for merely linking to scientific studies that describe the health benefits of walnuts.

This is how the FDA keeps people in the dark and achieves its agenda of censoring the truth about foods and supplements while promoting toxic pharmaceuticals that keep the drug companies in business.

Change your decisions and you'll change your life

It's up to you to determine how the rest of your life will be experienced. If you continue to find yourself standing in line at the local pharmacy, or if you look in your medicine cabinet and notice a half-dozen prescriptions, let that be a wake-up call. These drugs will never give you health or happiness. They will never create the life you're truly looking for.
Instead, take a walk to the other side of the street. Walk into a health food store. Ask the friendly staff how to get started with healthy living. These people are incredibly helpful, by the way, so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Spend your money at the health food store instead of the pharmacy and your entire life will improve as a result. As you improve your physical health, your brain health will get better, too, and you'll notice life getting better in many ways: Improved relationships, enhanced career (because having a healthy mind improves your job performance, too!), improved self image, increased stamina and much more.

You'll sleep better, eat better, think better, poop better and feel better. Everything your body is supposed to do naturally will simply work better as you align yourself with the natural laws of health and nutrition. You can embrace those laws by visiting practically any health food store and taking advantage of the remarkable health-enhancing products they carry.

So find your local health food store and give them a visit! I even support Whole Foods, too. I realize there has been some controversy about Whole Foods, but compared to all the other grocery stores, Whole Foods has achieved some astounding accomplishments. I'm glad Whole Foods is successful, because I sure wouldn't want to go back to shopping at some conventional (toxic) grocery store, would you?

Remember, you vote with your dollars -- both in terms of what industries you support as well as what health outcome you will create. If you invest your dollars in natural health products, you will get a healthy result.

So the next time you have a choice between pharmaceuticals versus healing foods, walk over to the health food store and choose healing foods!

E-mail to contact in order to let Jenna’s Make-up and Waxing Studio know what you think of using real mink for false eyelashes:
jennaschneider@comcast.net

My e-mail message:

Thanks to Groupon I noticed that you use fake eyelashes composed of actual mink fur. Just because the minks are not killed for these eyelashes doesn’t mean it’s OK to use their fur. The minks these eyelashes come from are held in captivity, exploited and abused. Ultimately they will be killed via anal electrocution in order to turn them into fur coats. It takes approximately sixty minks to make a fur coat. Getting fur from fur farms is wrong regardless of whether the mink survives the product you are using. Those minks that your false eyelashes come from aren’t going to be sent to a mink retirement home—no, they will be slaughtered, just because they have beautiful fur.

I am asking that you remove this product from your business.

This is very important--the interconnectedness I keep going on about. Here's a petition to sign:

Today on the campus of Portland State University, where as a grad student I have enjoyed hanging out in the Women’s Resource Center, I encountered a student offering me a free DVD. She was a young student who cheerfully said the DVD was about the Holocaust; I took a Holocaust Literature class when I was an undergraduate, and I’m descended from Polish Jews, so that sounded interesting. I took the DVD. Then she proceeded to say that the DVD talks about abortion and compares it to the Holocaust. I scowled and promptly handed the ew-I-can’t-believe-I-touched-this DVD and said in a deep and firm voice, “No, thanks.” As I turned and walked away, I said, “Misogynist.” Nothing is more ridiculous than power-tripping white men trapped in women’s bodies.

I promptly decided to donate to Planned Parenthood as soon as I get home, even though I should be spending that money on paying off student loans. I have chosen to call myself pro-abortion rather than pro-choice because that expression is misleading and placating toward the enemy.

I can understand comparing the ongoing war against women to the Holocaust, but it’s absurd to create propaganda that uses the Holocaust as an excuse to continue the war on women.

In Europe, from the Middle Ages to about 1800, vast numbers of women were hanged or burned at the stake because they were seen as a threat to patriarchy. They were accused of witchcraft, and I’m sure that many of them did practice the old Pagan religions. Many were killed because they were single women, often old widows; because they were single women who lived alone, perhaps at the edge of the woods; and/or because they were healers and midwives. That was the Holocaust against women.

I recently saw a documentary called The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo. The filmmaker told local women in the Congo about her own rape experience in Washington, DC, and the women assumed that a war must have been going on in Washington. But no, it was just the usual, ongoing war against women, not an official war. All the rape and incest and sexual violence and domestic violence and all forms of oppression against women all qualify as the patriarchal war against women.

As I walked away from that fool passing out absurd propaganda, I thought of the days when abortion was illegal in the United States. Many women died because they had unsafe and incompetent abortions. We need to keep abortion legal, safe, competently done, and easily available for women of all economic, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. I am pro-women and therefore pro-abortion and proud of it.

We need to end the Holocaust against women.
