Memorial Day Letter to American Youth

May 29, 2013

Dear American Youth,

It's still "Memorial" week, and the best thing I can contribute to the memory of the Dead is to prevent increasing their numbers. World War III has already begun and it's just a matter of time before you are called to participate. While I can't tell you, Young Person, what to do, if I were in your shoes, this is what I'd heavily contemplate:

A. The true history of the corporation that is known as THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. All caps, because it's a fiction. You probably did not read in your high school history classes about these changes that took place in 1861 (Congress adjourned officially and has not come back yet, "sine die"), 1868 (Fourteenth Amendment), 1871 (US CORP). This is not the same country established in 1776. http://www.pacalliance.us/redamendment/

B. In 1906, you and all Americans were classified as animals by the Pure Food and Drug Act. Your great-grandparents should have raised a ruckus, but it was done quietly, with the complicit silence of the pulpits who had bought in to the new theology of pragmatism and evolution. http://adask.wordpress.com/category/man-or-other-animals/

C. Read the document, "Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars" that admits war and famine are used intentionally to control a nation's economic condition. http://land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/sw4qw/

D. So, you thought war was all about justice and 'spreading democracy' [sic]? The de facto corporation notwithstanding, the de jure (legitimate) government is a republic. http://lewrockwell.com/paul/paul821.html

TO HELL WITH DEMOCRACY: http://adask.wordpress.com/2010/11/21/to-hell-with-democracy/#more-2807

E. You are told that you must register for Selective Service. But know this, that no litigation has taken place against non-registrants since 1986. Like vaccines, there is always a way out for those who do not want to kill or be killed for the sake of corporate profiteers / international banks. Explore this site thoroughly before deciding to agree to be cannon fodder: http://hasbrouck.org/draft/index.html

F. Study the "Biblical Doctrine of War" as taught by Pastor John Weaver. Raise your discernment level so that you know when it is morally right to fight, and when it is legalized murder and genocide. Knowing the truth is your duty and you will not be excused for ignorance. The Nuremberg Trials taught the world that Cool-Hand Luke was, after all, correct: "Calling it yer job don't make it right, Boss." Good, obedient German soldiers were hanged because they blindly followed unlawful ~ but legal ~ orders. Learn the difference between these two terms. Governments always do what is legal; but your measurement should be what is lawful in God's eyes. Will it be "legal" to shoot an American who refuses to give up his guns? Absolutely. Will his innocent blood be on your head? Ditto.

Remember to say no to fluoride, aspartame, gmo food, and vaccines. Even if a global crisis doesn't appear (at this time), there is still a war on the home front. Know your enemy and fight well.

With love,
Your "virtual" Granny

"Monsanto imagine" Revealed

“Monsanto imagine” Revealed

We've always known Monsanto is the devil.

Here's the proof.

So, you thought backward masking, hiding lyrics within lyrics, was only in music? Hidden messages are everywhere! If we take the face value of words for granted, we will fail to see the esoteric which is hidden in plain sight. Names mean something. Titles have significance. Nothing is named without forethought, especially when it comes to multi-national corporations that are in the business of dark deeds. A name reveals something’s character and its purpose.

Has Monsanto admitted their ultimate plan in their own words? Yes, I believe they have. Check out the front door to Lockhart's local Monsanto office in the picture below. We see, "Monsanto imagine." (Ironically in the same plaza where I teach people about the dangers of GE and GMO foods.)

Take a trip with Granny to Dictionary Land where the intent of the heart is exposed by looking at the actual meaning of words so that full disclosure is revealed, something required by universal law, but most often encrypted by liars and deceivers. We will be using the 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, the King James Bible, and the New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, and the Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon.

IMAGINE, in the Dictionary

IMAG’INE, v.t. [L. imaginor, from imago, image.]

1. To form a notion or idea in the mind; to fancy. We can imagine the figure of a horse's head united to a human body. In this sense, fancy is the more proper word.

“Horse’s head to a human body”?? Oh dear, doesn’t this sound a bit like genetic engineering? Remember: This definition is from a dictionary written in 1828!! Let’s look at “fancy,” since we are told that this is the more proper word for imagine~~

FAN'CY, n. [contracted from fantasy, L. phantasia. Gr. from to cause to appear, to seem, to imagine, from to show, to appear, to shine. The primary sense seems to be to open, or to shoot forth.]

1. The faculty by which the mind forms images or representations of things at pleasure. It is often used as synonymous with imagination; but imagination is rather the power of combining and modifying our conceptions.

2. An opinion or notion.

3. Taste; conception.

4. Image; conception; thought.

5. Inclination; liking.

6. Love.

7. Caprice; humor; whim; as an odd or strange fancy.

8. False notion.

9. Something that pleases or entertains without real use or value.

Let's go with definition #8, “False notion,” since a horse's head can not really be part of a human body. Remember definition of Fancy #1 as well: “combining and modifying,” as in mixing species of grains, fish, and animals. We see that the primary sense of “Fancy,” or imagine, is to open, or to shoot forth. When DNA is modified, the genes are “opened up” so that other species’ DNA can be “shot forth” into the target.

We see that “Fancy” comes from “fantasy,” a contraction of phantasia. Let us look at these words.

PHAN'TASM, n. [Gr. to show, to shine, to appear.] That which appears to the mind; the image of an external object; hence, an idea or notion. It usually denotes a vain or airy appearance; something imagined.

Remember those words, “to shine, to appear.” The name Lucifer means “great shining light.” Are we not warned that he, Lucifer (now Satan), appears as an angel of light”? 2 Corinthians 11:14.

A modern definition of Fantasia includes these points:

1: a free usually instrumental composition not in strict form

2a : a work (as a poem or play) in which the author's fancy roves unrestricted

b : something possessing grotesque, bizarre, or unreal qualities

Remember 2b, grotesque, bizarre, or unreal qualities. Are Monsanto’s creations grotesque, bizarre, or unreal?

Continuing the definition of “Imagine” ~~

2. To form ideas or representations in the mind, by modifying and combining our

conceptions.

3. To contrive in purpose; to scheme; to devise. "How long will ye imagine mischief

against a man?" Ps. 62:3.

Mr. Webster was fond of using words in context of Scripture. That’s what makes the 1828 Dictionary unique and above its peers. He takes the word and illustrates it in the common usage of the Bible. We do not read, “imagine peace and goodwill.” We see “imagine mischief.”

IMAGINE, in Scripture

Looking at Strong's Concordance, we see that every entry of "imagine" in the Bible is linked with the concepts of "MISCHIEF" or "VANITY" or “DECEIT” or "EVIL". The same is true of the extended forms of “imagine,” such as “image/s” (burned incense to graven image, etc) and “imagination/s” (“imagination” of man’s heart is evil, proud in the “imagination” of their hearts), and “imagined” (in the devices that they have “imagined”).

There are two notable, positive exceptions: one, when God made man in His image (five references in Genesis) and when we read of Christ being the image of the invisible God (2 Cor., Col., Heb.). Note that man is “made” in the image of God, but Christ “is” the image of God.

Check it out:

Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Psalm 21:11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Psalm 38:12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

Psalm 140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

Job 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

Hosea 7:15 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.

Nahum 1:9 What do ye imagine against the Lord? He will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

Zechariah 8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.

Acts 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

Let us look at some things that Scripture tells us are imagined:

MIS'CHIEF, n.

1. Harm; hurt; injury; damage; evil, whether intended or not. A new law is made to remedy the mischief.

2. Intentional injury; harm or damage done by design.

3. Ill consequence; evil; vexatious affair.

VAN'ITY, n. [L. vanitas, from vanus, vain.]

1. Emptiness; want of substance to satisfy desire; uncertainty; inanity.

2. Fruitless desire or endeavor.

3. Trifling labor that produces no good.

4. Emptiness; untruth

5. Empty pleasure; vain pursuit; idle show; unsubstantial enjoyment.

6. Ostentation; arrogance.

7. Inflation of mind upon slight grounds; empty pride, inspired by an overweening conceit of one's personal attainments or decorations. Vanity is the food of fools.

DEVICES, from Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon

…the devices which ye wrongfully imagine, Job 21:27

4209 mzimmah mez-im-maw' from 2161; a plan, usually evil (machination), sometimes good (sagacity):--(wicked) device, discretion, intent, witty invention, lewdness, mischievous (device), thought, wickedly.

2161 zamam zaw-mam' a primitive root; to plan, usually in a bad sense:--consider, devise, imagine, plot, purpose, think (evil).

Are we ready to put together what we have so far, and see what is really behind “Monsanto imagine”???

“Monsanto imagine” is a false notion, plot, and scheme to modify or combine things intentionally that are hurtful, harmful, and damaging with grotesque, bizarre, and unreal properties which results in emptiness, fruitless, food of fools.

Wait! There’s more! We’ve looked at the definitions to reveal the intent of the meaning of the word imagine; now let us consider the presentation, or the art work and the visual message.

In the world of sorcery, it’s not uncommon to contract several words in one to convey an idea. The drug Premarin, for example, is made of three words, pregnant, mare, and urine, to get Pre + mar + in.

Let’s take a look at the word “imagine” the way it is laid out graphically in the text, with “im” being dark green, “ag” being light green, and “ine” being dark green. Is there more being said here than meets the eye? There appears to be three words combined.

IM: “Imam, a holy religious leader, infallible, sinless” OR, could possibly be “I’m”.

AG: AGA, n. [lord, dominus, herus, sir, title of respect] In the Turkish dominions, a commander or chief officer. The title is given to various chief officers, whether civil or military. It is also given to great land holders, and to the eunuchs of the Sultan's seraglio.

-INE: The suffix -ine means having the nature of, being similar to, or being like something. Made of or like.

LIKE, a. [L., Heb., Gr. See Lick and Lickerish.]

1. Equal in quantity, quality or degree; as a territory of like extent with another; men of like excellence.

IM + AG + INE, “[Being equal to] + [a sinless, holy, infallible] + [great land holder]”

Is Monsanto telling us that it sees itself EQUAL TO A SINLESS, HOLY, GREAT LAND HOLDER??

Scripture tells us exactly who owns the earth, who is the Great Land Holder: “The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” Psalm 24:1. YHWH, the King of Creation, the Lord God, is the only ‘sinless, holy, great landholder,’ but Monsanto is pridefully aspiring to usurp His dominion. Don’t we read in the Good Book of how that was tried before?

Isaiah 14:14 describes Lucifer’s pride: “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.”

Putting together “MONSANTO IMAGINE” according to the dictionary and God’s Word, we see that Monsanto plans to use “a false notion, plot, and scheme to modify or combine things intentionally that are hurtful, harmful, and damaging with grotesque, bizarre, and unreal properties which results in emptiness, fruitless, food of fools in order to become equal to God and own the earth.

Monsanto imagine. We know who you are. We are not deceived.

"Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up."

FOOD SAFETY: AN ISSUE OF TRUST

"If you would be free, you must have at least as many dictionaries as you have firearms." ~~ A mighty man of the Word, Al Adask

If Clint Eastwood carried a dictionary instead of a 44 magnum, it would be the 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language. You will see why in a moment.

With this old dictionary, I will show you

· The law as it was intended to be understood by defining the word TRUST.

· Secondly, I will expose the law as it is now written, and you will at once understand the WHY behind so many issues that sentient, caring men and women are concerned about:

(Just a few examples)
Why raw milk is seized by the FDA and poured out in the gutter and those selling it are arrested and even tortured in modern dungeons like the one in Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office

Why GE and GMO labeling is such a battle, and WHY it is allowed to be created and sold in the first place

WHY we can’t get Fluoride out of the water

WHY the meat sold in your child’s school cafeteria is the dross of the meat packing industry and irradiated to cover it up

Why the govt can outlaw or regulate any herb, any natural medicine that truly heals (cannabis, ephedra, chaparral)

Why deadly vaccines can legally exist and be forced upon us

I. Let us define the source of the Law of this nation, by defining the word TRUST.

TRUST, 1. Confidence; a reliance or resting of the mind on the integrity, veracity, justice, friendship or other sound principle of another. “He that putteth his TRUST in the Lord shall be safe.” Prov. 29

CONFIDENCE, 1. A trusting, or reliance; an assurance of mind or firm belief in the integrity, stability, or veracity of another, or in the truth and reality of a fact.
“It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.” Ps. 68

“I rejoice that I have confidence in you in all things.” 2 Cor. 7.

Mutual confidence is the basis of social happiness.

See Confide.

CONFIDE, To trust, to rely on, with a persuasion of faithfulness or veracity in the person trusted or of the reality of a fact; to give credit to; to believe in, with assurance, followed by IN. The prince confides IN his ministers. The minister confides IN the strength and resources of the nation. We confide IN the veracity of the sacred historians. See FAITH.

RELY, [from the root, to lie, or lay] To rest on something, as the mind when satisfied of the veracity, integrity or ability of persons or of the certainty of facts or of evidence; to have confidence in; to TRUST in; to depend on. We rely on the promise of a man who is known to be upright; we rely on the veracity of fidelity of a tried friend; the prince relies on the affections of his subjects for support; and on the strength of his army; above all, we rely on the mercy and promises of God. That which is the ground of confidence is a certainty or full conviction that satisfies the mind and leaves it at rest, or undisturbed by doubt.

FAITH, root of Heb, Chaldean, Syrian “that which makes FAST.”

FAST: set, stopped, fixed, pressed close, firm, immovable, firmly fixed

1. Belief. 2. Assent of the mind to truth. 3. theological: assent of the mind or understanding to the truth of what God has revealed. This is historical faith, little distinguished from the belief of the existence and achievements of Alexander or Caesar.

4. Evangelical, justifying, or saving faith, is the assent of the mind to the truth of divine revelation, on the authority of God’s testimony, accompanied with a cordial assent of the will or approbation of the heart; an entire confidence or TRUST in God’s character and doctrines of Christ, with an unreserved surrender of the will to his guidance, and dependence on his merits for salvation. In other words, that firm belief of God’s testimony, and of the truth of the gospel, which influences the will, and leads to an entire RELIANCE on Christ for salvation.

Now that we have defined TRUST, in whom did the Founders put their trust?

Declaration of Independence: “With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

THIS WAS THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN LAW for FLESH AND BLOOD MEN OF GOODWILL:

Their trust, confidence, and faith in God led them to write these words:

We hold these TRUTHs to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Legal presupposition: There is a God, our rights come from Him, and govt exists for one reason: to secure (or entrust, keep, protect) those rights by our consent, or confidence.

NOW, what about men who are NOT of goodwill, who are not trustworthy, who spurn the law of God and make a law unto themselves? What kind of govt do they create?

THE CORPORATION

The corporation is a FICTION, not real, it is a strawman without flesh and blood, created by the State to limit liability and to avoid accountability and to prevent true justice from being exacted on their wicked deeds.

How did this republic change from a foundation built on TRUST in God, to one governed by trustees of a corporation?

Three important years:

1861, Congress adjourned sine die; to this day, no de jure Congress
1868, Fourteenth Amendment: federal PERSON,
1871: THE UNITED STATES CORPORATION

Then came the death blow: 1906 with the Pure Food and Drug Act

First, let me set the grammatical stage so that you will understand the significance of the language:

If I said, “Liver or other Bananas”, then I have just quantified liver as a kind of banana. If I said, “Dogs or other Cats,” then by illogical use of words, I have just declared that a dog is a kind of a cat. Get it? If I can get you to agree with me that a banana is actually liver or a dog is a cat (even though reality tells you this is not true), then you have come into agreement with my lie and I now have power over you because you have agreed on the terms of my proposition.

So, let’s go to the law:

The Pure Food and Drug Act. Section 6 says, “the term “drug,” as used in this Act, shall include all medicines and preparations recognized in the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary for internal or external use, and any substance or mixture of substances intended to be used for the cure, mitigation, or prevention of disease of either man or other animals.

Pure Food and Drug Act (1906). United States Statutes at Large (59th Cong., Sess. I, Chp. 3915, p. 768-772; cited as 34 U.S. Stats. 768)

Ladies and Gentlemen, men and women, BY DEFINITION OF FEDERAL AND STATE LAW, YOU ARE AN ANIMAL. DOES THIS BOTHER YOU, EVEN A LITTLE BIT???

Al Adask says: “the government expressly defines the American people to be “animals” rather than men and women made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-28) and endowed by their Creator with God-given, unalienable Rights (“Declaration of Independence”). This definition violates fundamental principles of the Bible and Declaration of Independence and constitutes an act of genocide against the American people. DE-humanizing people is one of the eight essentials of genocide.

This is blasphemy. This is war. This is treachery. This is treason against both God and man.

This was not an accident of grammar:

4. Here’s a link to the A.D. 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. See Section 6 wherein the government defines the words “food” and “drugs” to apply to “man or other animals” and thus defines man to be an “animal”. This the earliest instance we’ve found of government declaring the American people to be “animals”. For over a century, your government has regarded you, your spouse, children, parents and friends to be “animals”. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22116/   TWO TIMES

5. Title 7 (Agriculture) of the United States Code, (7 U.S.C. Section 136(d)) which defines man to be an “animal”. http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/7/6/II/136    ONE TIME

6. Title 21 U.S.C. 321(g)(1) Federal definition of “drugs” defines man to be an animal: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/21/9/II/321   SIX TIMES

7. Texas Health & Safety Code definition of “drugs” at 431.002(14) defines man to be an animal at: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.u...31.htm#431.002 .    FIVE TIMES

There are many examples….but to sum up

These FOUR WORDS reveal to you

WHY ACCESS TO TRUE FOOD AND HEALING MEDICINE IS LIMITED WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, THE MOST VILE, FILTHY, TOXIC SUBSTANCES ARE ALLOWED BY LAW TO BE PUT INTO OUR FOOD

GOOD NEWS

At any time, you can say, “A banana is NOT liver” and “A dog is NOT a cat” and I am NOT an animal.

You have the unalienable right to do so, and you have the legal right to do so:

That whenever any form of govt becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new govt….”

KNOW WHO YOU ARE, KNOW WHOSE YOU ARE.

AND THE VICTORY IS YOURS.

Broccoli and Hoes in Fuktupia

Once upon a time in the municipal corporation called Fuktupia, there lived people who loved broccoli. They ate its flowerettes in casseroles or covered in butter. They used its leaves for medicine. They could even take the stalks and make houses, cars, and textiles from it.

Then, one day, another corporation moved to Fuktupia that sold plastic cauliflower. DUPE-on-US wanted the entire market for their plastic cauliflower, so they sent secret agents to the Fuktupia Council with lots of money and pretty women for the greedy ones, and a pack of lies about broccoli for the others.

So it came to pass that broccoli was outlawed in all of Fuktupia. However, many people refused to obey the law and they still grew broccoli, but often they were arrested. They had to pay massive fines, and sometimes, if they were found to have many rows of broccoli, they went to jail. This made the rich people happy and much richer, because they had investments in stocks and bonds, and they actually made lots of money when people had to spend time in jail, waiting for their bonds to be matured.

Now it happened that Sheriff Doonmajob of Fuktupia County knew that broccoli tasted good and was of much value to heal. But what could he do? The law said that broccoli eaters must be arrested, so he arrested them.

Lucky for his office, sometimes his deputies would find huge fields of broccoli, which they had to burn (most of). But the real prize was the cars and land and money that broccoli growers had, because after the broccoli was outlawed, the price went way up and the few broccoli growers that were left in Fuktupia got very wealthy. The lawyers at DUPE-on-US INC were smart, and they knew that if Sheriff Doonmajob made money on arresting people, that he would keep the broccoli off the market.

Many years passed, and DUPE-on-US INC knew that the people were getting wise about their shady dealings and what they had done to take away their delicious broccoli. Too many people were growing their own broccoli, as well as carrots and collards and corn, and plastic cauliflower stocks were down. DUPE-on-US INC had to do something! They decided to go back to the Fuktupia Council and ask for a law to ban hoes, rakes, and shovels.

Now Sheriff Doonmajob was really in a moral pickle. He knew that the people would starve without their hoes, rakes and shovels to help them grow all their food (not just the illegal broccoli). But he also knew that if he dared send his deputies after the people’s tools, they would be very angry and not elect him again.

So Sheriff Doonmajob came up with a plan. He told the people that even if Fuktupia County passed a law against hoes, rakes, and shovels, that he would not obey it. Ahhh! The people were so happy to hear that good news!! They celebrated and posted good words about Sheriff Doonmajob on all their facebook pages.

But one young man, Wise Willie, was known as a math genius because he could put one and one together like no one else could, asked everyone this question, “If Sheriff Doonmajob would take your delicious broccoli because it was the law, even though there was nothing wrong with eating delicious broccoli, why wouldn’t he take your hoes, rakes, and shovels when that’s the law, too?”

And all the people of Fuktupia knew that Wise Willie was correct, but they didn’t want to listen to him anymore. They praised Sheriff Doonmajob and went back to their kitchens to steam some plastic cauliflower.

After all, they had lived in Fuktupia a very, very long time.

A VOETEE CHRISTMAS STORY

It was 1985. I was a "baby" Christian; it was just a little over a year since I had been given the gift of faith. Now, Christmas was approaching and the ugliness of the commercialization of this holy event saddened me deeply.

I had an idea. How about if we went out and told people the truth? "Jesus was born to die for our sins" was certainly not written on any mall store windows!! So, that was our message. I scurried down to City Hall to get a permit for the event. As I waited for the clerk, I walked over to the big plate glass window and looked into the cloudless blue sky, and prayed that God would bless this desire to make His Name known to the people of Long Beach.


Plaque from the cross used in the Witness Walk, 1985.

Mike, my dear Hubby, built a large cross, with one minor, pragmatic modification: he put a wheel on it so that it would not destroy property or require major back surgery afterwards. About a dozen other folks from the Bixby-North Nazarene Church signed up to join us. Our planned route was south on Long Beach Blvd, down Ocean Blvd, then back north on Atlantic Ave. Probably about a ten-mile round trip.

Mike took the kids and the cross over to the church that Saturday morning. I finished up some things and followed shortly on foot, as it was just three short blocks. I was about half way there when it happened. Something invisible was in front of me. I knew it was there, I could almost feel it, but I could not see it. It was evil, whatever it was. It was telling me how stupid I was for doing this. How I should turn around, run, and not go. How people would laugh. Later I would know why Christ had said, "Get thee behind me, Satan." For now, I prayed for strength, and I kept walking.

I got to the church, we organized and took off. By noon, we reached the mall downtown. We had about seven minutes inside before getting tossed out by security. That's okay; today's story is not about getting in Santa Claus's face or piling guilt on those having a credit card debt-fest. It's about bringing hope to the hopeless, and rescuing those being led away to death ~~ the exact reasons why Messiah came to earth.

We were on Atlantic Ave., just past Poly High School, a "bad" part of town that wise White folks did not find themselves in without good tires and a full tank of gas, let alone go walking there in the late winter afternoon. But dope dealers and hookers and homeless needed to hear the Good News, too, right?

I was at the end of our group, as always, being one who enjoyed talking to those we encountered. With everyone ahead, I crossed the street and saw a young mom with two small children. She was talking on the pay phone to someone. I approached the children and greeted them. She turned around, and I saw she was crying and very upset. She slammed the phone against the wall onto the receiver.

"Can I pray for you?" was all I could get out of my mouth. She collapsed into my arms, sobbing sorrowfully. She had just told her husband ~~ in Indiana, hundreds of miles away ~~ that she was going to kill the children and commit suicide.

She had left her husband and was staying with 'friends' who had promptly pimped her out. She hated her life and saw no other escape. I prayed with her, and stayed and talked with her for a long time. The others missed me (after awhile!) and came looking for me. Not having a car, we could not take her with us, but I promised that I would come back for her and take her to our house as soon as we got back.

By the time we reached home, it was 5pm and dark. Mike stayed with our four young children while I took the car to keep my promise. I remember walking up the long driveway to the address she had given me, thinking that I could be facing a very irate pimp, or worse. I kept walking.

I did not have to wait after knocking. She was at the door, ready to go. She grabbed the two children and a small suitcase and we walked together down the porch, to the obscenities and slurs of angry men.

She stayed with us that night, and Sunday and Monday. She called her husband once she was safe at our house and worked things out. He sent her some money, so on Tuesday afternoon which happened to be Christmas Eve, we took her to L.A. International Airport and sent her and the little ones home. Here I was once more, gazing into a beautiful blue sky through a large plate window; this time I whispered in my heart, "Thank You."

Always, at this time of year, I think of her and wonder how she and her family are doing. Sometimes, when my melancholy disposition gets a case of the "George Bailey's" I remember that there are three people in the world who most likely wouldn't be here if I had not been on that street corner that day at that time. And never, ever, do I forget the love of God that is always watching out for us, sending us help just when we need it.

Pre-eclampsia: Due to genetic mutation?

Preeclampsia of pregnancy is marked by swelling of the legs and feet, protein in the urine, and high blood pressure. Often, this is caused by a genetic mutation called MTHFR, or "MethyleneTetraHydroFolate Reductase." This enzyme is depleted in those affected, and reduces the ability to detoxify. Greater amounts of certain nutrients are needed, especially folate. Please note: many supplements contain folic acid, which is not the same as folate.

There is testing available to see if one has this mutation. Barbara Torrey Centofante will share her vast amount of first-hand knowledge on this subject.

Even if you are not pregnant, this is critical info to explore.

Picture: Granny, Jan. 12, 1983 just before heading to the hospital to bring son Jesse Lee into the world.

Barbara, first of all, 1. What signs would one have of MTHFR? and 2. Where could we be tested for this gene mutation?
Lorraine Genevieve Thanks for posting on this topic. I had severe preeclampsia with early csection with my first pregnancy. Now am 11 weeks along with my 2nd. Been exercising this time around because I read that it possibly might reduce the chance of it happening again. Have not heard of the MTHFR mutation.
Cheryl Bailey Yes do the gene test. it's a very common gene mutation in regressive autism cases ie those vaccine damaged kids. My son is an MTHFR case.
Starlene Hollenback wow, i had severe preeclampsia and required iv mag after seizing.
Valerie George Little Wow my mom and my niece both had this during pregnancy! I wonder if my daughter has this mutation? She has lyme and has a hard time detoxing! Where do you get the testing?
Bobbi Miller I have the MTHFR mutation and so do my kids. My son Shawn actually has 2 copies. We're on B12 folate injections every other day. I have a history of preeclampsia and am worried about it happening again, but am being monitored very closely by a high risk OB. As far as testing goes, my kids ped ordered the test on them. When the results showed they infact had the mutation, I went to my doctor and asked for the test. He ordered it with no issues.

Barbara Torrey Centofante Donna, you might not have any signs... until the MTHFR gene is activated. You can never predict when it will happen... it may be with a baby's first vaccination, or drip drip, drip... after fungal/mycotoxin exposure, taking Cipro, getting pregnant, a huge emotional devastation, putting all sorts of chemicals on your skin through your lotions and potions, etc... you just don't know what your individual tipping point will be. So, the point is to be pro-active. Eat clean, no exemptions... you say it is too expensive ? Wait until you get sick and see much you have to spend going from this doctor to that trying to find out what's wrong with you. My conventional doctor wanted to give me opoid pain killers and anti-depressants. I knew in my heart of hearts that something was wrong and that I didn't need/want pharmaceutical bandaids. I finally went to an Alternative Doctor... another huge out of pocket expense because insurance doesn't cover it. Best money I ever spent. I was practically bed bound... now I am slowly and surely healing. I share this information because most eveything you do about having a MTHFR gene mutation has to do with what you put in your mouth, on your skin and into your environment. I share this information so that you don't go down the road I have.
Barbara Torrey Centofante MTHFR is genetic. It would serve you well to find out what health challanges your family, parents and grandparents, etc. have faced. Start a notebook. Get tested and find out which mutation you have. If you have it or your spouse has it have your children tested. I am against vaccinations but if you have a MTHFR gene mutation DON'T TAKE THEM. You may say... we'll I have taken them before with no problem. NEVER FORGET DRIP, DRIP, DRIP. YOU CAN NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR TIPPING POINT WILL COME, BUT IT WILL COME.
Barbara Torrey Centofante If you have a doctor who won't order the test, find another doctor. There are some haughty doctors in practice and rather than admit that they know little to nothing about MTHFR they will pooh, pooh your request and tell you you don't need it. They wouldn't know how to treat it if your test comes back positive anyway. Another danger is they will just tell you to take a Folic Acid supplement.... NO,NO, NO !!! Folic Acid is synthetic and people with MTHFR cannot utilize it.
Ave Maria What can you do if you have the mutation?
Barbara Torrey Centofante http://www.lovingourguts.com/mthfr-part-2-2/

What you can do if you have a MTHFR mutation to help your body to detox and function as it should.
Bobbi Miller I agree with Barb. I was told by 2 ER docs that the MTHFR was no big deal. I asked them if they even knew anything about it. They didn't know much at all. Some Doctors will brush it off and say you don't need tested and it's nothing to worry about. Not true. My sons homocysteine was pretty high. He's the one with 2 copies of this mutation and he also has 2 heart defects, so I'm very grateful his ped caught this.

Barbara Torrey Centofante Ave Maria... be pro-active. Eat organic as much as it is possible. If you cannot get a food that is organic then get the conventional if it isn't a high pesticide laden food. I have high levels of Lead and DDE (a metabolite of DDT) so I have to avoid food from foreign countries because their pesticide use is not regulated like it is in the USA.
Ave Maria thanks - I do have heart issues in my family and then I inexplicably got pre eclampsia with my third pregnancy. I'll have to check this out.

Thayer Bentley The pre-e foundation forum is a wonderful place to learn more about this nasty condition. I have survived it twice, (and I do have MTHFR) and have two healthy children- but I have other friends whose story ends much differently.
Thayer Bentley http://www.preeclampsia.org/

Preeclampsia is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum

period, which affects both the mother and the unborn baby. Affecting at least 5 percent of all pregnancies, it is a rapidly progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure, swelling and protein in the urine.
Layla Marcale Alvey Yes my vaccine damaged son has this....wish I knew then what I know now!
Barbara Torrey Centofante Every autistic child, that has been tested, is positive for at least one MTHFR mutation .
Granny Good-Food So, did the vaccine CAUSE the mutation, or was the mutation pre-existing, thus making the child susceptible to brain injury from the vaccine?
Barbara Torrey Centofante No, Donna. Vaccines do not cause any of the MTHFR gene mutations. MTHFR is genetic. You could, theoretically go your whole life with a MTHFR gene mutation and never have it get activated. In this day and age, I do no think that it is possible unless you live on some pristine island and get plenty of fresh air, sunshine, wholesome, organic food and no stress !!!
Barbara Torrey Centofante That being said... I think everyone should keep a health notebook. Make notations about what your family health concerns have been. If you pay attention I bet you can start to see a pattern.
Barbara Torrey Centofante As far as the people who have MTHFR... we are the "canaries in the mine". The chemists have introduced all sorts of things into our food and environment that aren't good for anyone... but we with MTHFR are affected by heavy metals, GMO's, pesticides, synthetic foods and vitamins, toxins, etc. at the very least, tenfold.
Barbara Torrey Centofante I am glad so many of you have come here to @Granny Good-Food... pay close attention to all she shares and teaches you. You can save yourself a lot of heart ache and poor health by being pro-active and keep your food and environment as pure as you possibly can here on the fallen earth.
Barbara Torrey Centofante If I had known I had MTHFR I would never have taken Cipro, (a flourine/flouride anti-biotic) and gotten such bad consequences. I cannot put anything in my mouth, on my skin or into my environment without vetting it first. If I were ever to need ansthesia I will need to let them know I have MTHFR. Cipro is a florine/flouride medication and some anesthesia is florine/flouride based as well.
Starlene Stewart I found it was a big help to tell the doctor's office the number of the test that I wanted to have done. If people can go to Labcorp and have their blood drawn, the number for the test is: 511238. Or it is also possible to get your test done by paying for it yourself through Dr. Benjamin Lynch here: http://mthfr.net/mthfr-testing-mthfr-test-kit/2012/01/25/ $195 for the test.
Starlene Stewart

Also I interviewed Dr. Benjamin Lynch on my Blog Talk Radio show about MTHFR, the timeline with bullet points and link to the show is here: http://gapsdietjourney.com/2012/06/talking-with-mthfr-expert-dr-ben-lynch/ Dr. Lynch says consider it a privilege if you find that you have this mutation because there are things you can do - we are in charge of our genetics, not the other way around.
Sterling Hill

I feel the best testing is 23andme or Yasko. Because there are other genetics involved. For example: You cannot effectively treat MTHFR without first addressing CBS. CBS causes a transulfuration pathway blockage and if you are taking the active b's for MTHFR and they eventually turn into the sulfur based molecule glutathione. The glutathione will not be able to fit in the cell. We call this methyltrapping. So you are then spinning your wheels. I'm trying to raise awareness every day. BTW, 90% of people tested have a CBS mutation. This is how critical it is to test the methylation pathway and support it accordingly. MTHFR is just part of the problem. But thankfully we have affordable testing out there to test all the genes involved in the production of glutathione.
Granny Good-Food Thank you, Starlene and Sterling! Excellent points! This presentation is about 1-1/2 hr, but very worthwhile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRHif2aVPvw

Methylation and MTHFR Defects presented by Benjamin Lynch, ND

http://mthfr.net/methylation-and-mthfr-defects-presentation/2012/04/25/
Sterling Hill Yes Dr. Ben is a great guy. We chat from time to time. Sharing knowledge to help heal as many as we can. At MTHFRsupport.com, we have Dr. Tim Jackson who is extremely knowledgable about methylation. Im working with many of these doctors now and starting a new website called methylationinformation.com. Where doctors like Ben Lynch, Nancy Mullan and Tim Jackson will share their knowledge with everyone from gut health to methylation via webinars. Hope to have it up and running by March.
Terry Bug WOW...fantastic! God bless you everyone for all your contributions here. This info will save lives!
Dawn Lancaster Looks a lot like my pic from 1983, but it was my first son. Our Prego supplements contain 5MTHF, which we also use for our austism spectrum patients.

Barbara Torrey Centofante MYHFR mutations may cause a mild to severe loss of activity of the MTHFR enzyme and result in elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood (homocysteinemia) or urine (homocysteinuria). The MTHFR enzyme deficiency leads to elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood (homocysteinemia) or urine (homocysteinuria). High homocysteine levels in the blood may also increase the risk of preeclampsia and blood clots. In general, mild to moderate homocysteinemia has been associated with an increase risk of developing blood clots in the veins often in the lower leg or calf, which can travel to the lung ( pulmonary embolism).
