Yes,

I'm sure I've eaten a few bug eggs, and bugs for that matter, but happily I'm still around to talk about it.

Having a choice though, I'd still rather pick through the spinach than eat bite after bite of systemic herbicide, or some other chemical wash. If the bugs are laying their eggs in the spinach, they must feel safe to do so.

Growing your own food is even better, and you're lucky if you can be in that position.

Was not at all a bad experience. The challenge is that I didn't know how to read an income statement and a balance sheet. Also I was in a business that I was not passionate about, which is a fatal error. MLM's just don't do it for me, like at all. I worked hard, drove lots of miles, did lots of one-on-one meetings, entertained crowds of thousands as I was the one of the guys on stage at the open meetings and some of the bigger seminars. I was paid cash under the table for speaking. That was a blast. The issue came when I learned to read an income statement and balance sheet to take the pulse of the business. About six years in, I saw the business had been hemmoraging finacially for quite some time. When I asked about it upline, you might have thought I had the plague. I shut down the operation due to the corrupt nature of the organization. MLM survivor.com has many details of other similar experiences. I don't blame them, but just my own lack of experience. It's good to have a dream, just not when you dream your money is bleeding all over the place.

Getting older and wiser is certainly a benefit to us all. Since having successes in that industry, I still receive phone calls to join another one. That's just not going to happen. I do admire the tenacity of these folks though.

I could not even then get excited about a product. Products do nothing for me. Weight loss cookies, rubber eyelashes, magnets, vitamins, shakes, perfect water etc... Bunch of bear oil if you ask me. If any of it was any good, Walmart would be all over it like photographers on Britney. I would just buy it there, besides, nothing is better than duct tape, WD40 and Armorall.

Hello Graham

Organic living has become an all around lifestyle for me and my loved ones. I started with organic Food and Nutrition to organic pet food to natural skin care and furniture and cleaning products. My biggest question I have is the organic pest control and what do you recommend?

Yes I know about manually removing bugs or using a hose to spray them of works. Spraying a non chemical mixture which is oil based or using predators to kill harmful insects also works but are there other helpful products out there to help safeguarding animals, plants and humans?

Hello Sunshine,

Good for you, yes, as much as organics seems the wave of the future, it's just back to the way we were before we came to this juncture.

People are finally becoming more aware and just taking greater responsibility for their health.

As far as pest control, I would google it and see what comes up. I don't have a problem in my garden, but I might research it myself.

Have you heard of probiotics at all?

Thanks for writing.

Graham

Yes I do know about probiotics and my favorite book on the subject is The Power of Probiotics: Improving Your Health With Beneficial Microbes

It is incredible important for our wellbeing and helps manage lactose intolerance, prevention of colon cancer, it helps so immensely in lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, it prevents infections and the most beneficial factor for me is the reduction of inflammation. For this I could become a walking billboard.

Isabella,

Hey thanks for your responses. I'm glad you visited the site. Yes, I am with ONE group. Great company, and the fact that they have rejected going "public" and having to answer to shareholders, stockholders, board of directors etc...was a big selling point for me.

Well you definitely are versed in probiotic info. It just makes perfect sense that getting healthy from the inside out is the shortcut, as opposed to the treating of symptoms which has become the drive of modern medicine.

Have a great day Isabella.

Talk soon,

Graham

Hi Isabella,

Here's a link I found for homemade organic pesticides.
