| Why Do We Need Enzymes? |
| The human digestive system is designed to break down raw fruits and vegetables, but the average American diet today contains enzyme deficient foods. Food enzymes are destroyed when processed, refined, microwaved and heated above 118 degrees. Foods eaten raw or juiced contain their own necessary enzymes for proper digestion. “Animals who live in wild habitats eat enzyme-rich raw foods and are usually free from the types of serious or chronic diseases which afflict humans.” Enzymes are specialized proteins responsible for starting and controlling digestion, tissue repair, metabolism (energy production) and detoxification. When enzyme deficient cooked foods are eaten it forces the body to draw on its own supply of enzymes. When enzyme reserves become depleted the body will draw upon the immune system to help digest food. “Instead of rebuilding the body and fighting illness, the immune system is helping to digest lunch”. As the body ages enzyme production and strength decreases further straining the Pancreas and other vital organs of digestion. Raw fruits and vegetables including Wheatgrass juice have abundant enzymes for optimal health. Chewable enzymes made from fruit are a good natural supplement your body recognizes when you’re on the go. For the whole food natural approach of Wheatgrass please contact Dean and Rusty Galloway at GallowayGreens@cox.net Certified Organic 8508628994. |

| Indigenous People, My First Trip To Guatemala - Part V by George B. Dodge, Sr. Chief White Antelope This is the last in a series of five articles about my experiences in Guatemala and with the readers permission I will expand a little bit on my experiences with Indigenous people there and in North America as well. Guatemala continues to go through great struggles politically and economically but the people, in spite of all their trials over the past five hundred years, remain humble, gracious and industrious. I have taken relief supplies to the Rosebud, Santee Sioux, Pine Ridge Reservations, in South Dakota . I slept on the ground in forty degree cold weather at Fort Bridger , Wyoming while participating in a Mountain Man Rendezvous with Native People from a radius of over a thousand miles. I met all sorts of marvelous people there. For instance, an eighty year old woman named Dorothy Patrick (Lakota) who was an historical advisor for the making of the movie "Dances With Wolves" kissed me on the cheek and told me she wanted to see more of me. Her son Two Dollar played in "Jeremiah Jones, Gentle Ben and Dances With Wolves" It was my privilege to be a part of the lighting of the Eternal Flame from the Big Island in Hawaii at the dedication ceremony in Maui and I also shared a Sweat Lodge with Arvol Looking Horse who is Lakota Sioux from Rosebud, South Dakota. Following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita I spent Christmas driving a truck load of relief supplies to the Chitimacha Choctaw in Montegut, LA and I went back with a second truck load again last year because their situation hadn't improved much. It's still basically the same now in 2007. On the 16th of this month I will be going with school supplies to Calcedeaver Indian School in Alabama where the children have significant needs. We could use some additional help on this one. In New Mexico I attended church with the Navajo and and some Utes and sat next to a delightful gentleman named Happy Go Lucky who was raised with the Navajo Code Talkers. |
| In Utah , Idaho , South Dakota , Florida , Georgia and Alabama I've participated in Native American Pow Wows referred to by Indians as "Reverse Exodus". I've been to Spotted Tail Indian College where a government Indian Boarding School housed children who were torn from their mothers' arms and trained to be something other than Indian. I've walked through the grave yard of the Indian Boarding School of Carlisle, Pennsylvania where deceased children were buried beneath small white stone markers. The majority of these children died of broken hearts, beatings and isolation. They had originally been thrown into a large pit behind the school in winter as an example of what happens to Indian Children who don't cooperate. At least seven grave stones were unmarked because the Children didn't live long enough to be issued Christian names. At this military installation the young lady working in a fast food restaurant knew absolutely nothing of her Native Heritage nor of her ancestors who attended Carlisle Indian School . My reason for going to Guatemala was to bring school supplies to the Mayan children in the mountain villages. The Maya have suffered oppression for centuries. This pattern has been consistently repeated with all Indigenous Peoples (not only in the Americas but) all over the world. There is a theme I've found running through every Indigenous culture I've known. That theme is deep sadness and the word "ATROCITY" seems quite applicable when applied to the way in which Indigenous People have been treated. Perhaps it is time for the Real Christians to stand up and be counted in the last days before the return of the Savior. I know I can't correct past injustices but I'm making an effort to alleviate a little of the suffering and pain that exists today. The average life expectancy among a large number of tribes is between thirty and thirty seven years. I am the President and founder of First Nations Intertribal Association, Inc. which is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to assist Indigenous People living in difficult conditions, usually on reservations. It seems appropriate (since this is a Spanish language publication) to mention that a very large number of Indigenous People have Spanish surnames. FIRST NATIONS INTERTRIBAL ASSOCIATION, INC. has a nearly empty account at Wacovia Bank, (any branch). My thanks go to Joanne Webster and David Triana for affording me the opportunity to share my thoughts with you. |
