How to grow your own healthy micro-flora, heal your gut and improve your immune system
While many natural health guru's disagree on how one should eat and heal the body, nearly all agree on one thing: if our internal flora (particularly our digestive flora) is out of balance it is impossible to create glowing health. Unless you are living in a pristine chemical free environment eating only organic whole foods, free from all stress the chances are very high that your inner flora and digestion are compromised and therefore your immune system and overall health will be below par.

I have previously written at length about the benefits of Probiotics such as 
Progurt2012 and Inliven for healing the gut, immune system and related conditions including allergies and skin problems. In this newsletter I am going to share with you a simple way to grow your own beneficial bacteria and yeast  with Kefir (dairy and non-dairy).  

The e-book "Kefir - Nourishment yogurt the natural way" says;
"Kefir is a small community of bacteria and yeasts that clump together looking like cauliflower or cottage cheese. You place them into fresh milk and they will culture and ferment the milk into Kefir sometimes called Milk Beer, Ayran or if it is drained and thickened - Lebne. Most nations have their own style of this little yogurt plant. They are called kefir grains.

The kefir turns the milk by culturing and fermenting it. Once cultured, it will not spoil or “go off”. Milk turned into kefir stays good for drinking for over five weeks. This is a very good way the villagers had of preserving their precious resources of fresh milk.

If you study tribes and cultures where there is a large percentage of centurions (people who live well over 100), you will find something in their daily diet like kefir. Read more.....

Where to buy "real", fresh Kefir grains?
You can buy fresh, living, organic Milk Kefir grains, Water Kefir crystals and Kombucha scoby (
starter) from Margaret Blackney who will post them any where in Australia at very reasonable prices.

The Economics of Happiness, July Specials and Spring detox retreats

In this newsletter

- The Economics of Happiness
- July Specials
- Spring Detox and raw food retreats - Bali, Byron Bay, Noosa, Busselton

The Economics of Happiness
We live in an extraordinary time. Creative alternatives on how to live in harmony with nature and each other are popping up like mushrooms from the compost of globalisation's impending implosion. If you look in one direction it is depressing: we are raping the Earth and it's many inhabitants for profit at any cost, like an insane machine destroying the very thing that sustains it. In the other direction the future looks bright: local grassroots movements are rapidly gaining momentum across this beautiful planet and a sense of community is being created in the face of adversity. JRR Tolkein would have been hard pressed to come up with a more gripping story than the one we currently live in. I can't wait to read the next chapter and am thrilled by the creative possibilities that we can be a part of.

Runi and I recently attended a screening of a very moving documentary "The Economics of Happiness" which was put on by Organic Farm Share for it's members. Written and directed by Author and activist Helena Norberg-Hodge, The Economics of Happiness is a wonderful expose on the effects of globalisation (and specifically it's effects on the resilient people of Ladakh who live high in the Himalayan Mountains) and more importantly what we can do to bring balance back by creating "an economics of localisation" You can view the trailer and find out more about screenings HERE 

The Economics of Happiness will be screening in Ballina Nthn NSW on July 25th, 7pm to 9pm with a panel discussion with Helena Norberg-Hodge after the film. There are also more upcoming screenings happening in other parts of Australia - you can find the details HERE

With reports showing that Australian food prices have gone up 16% over the past 2 years with more rises to come, many more families will be looking towards local alternatives such as farmers markets and Community Supported Agriculture as a matter of necessity in the near future.
