Why Dehydrated Fruits and Veggies?

Dehydrated fruits and veggies, nuts, grains, seeds, seasonings etc. will assist you in making yummy meals for your family and will round out your food storage and nutrition needs. They are easy to store, take up less space and can be eaten alone or added to stews, soups, casseroles, crackers, cereals etc. The list goes on and on.

Dehydrated fruits and veggies(as well as sprouting your grains, nuts and seeds) have enzymes in them that most of our canned and packaged foods do not. Enzymes are heat sensitive and are destroyed or compromised by canning, cooking, and freezing.
Enzymes are workers that assist vitamins and minerals to do their job. They are synergistic and work together. Without fresh foods in every meal our bodies are using their emergency supply.

Simply put, enzymes are the mortar and vitamins and minerals are the bricks.
There are two types of enzymes, exogenous (found in living raw foods) and endogenous (those produced in our bodies). By eating a balance of fresh foods with cooked foods, we supply what is needed for adequate digestion.

Our bodies begin an incredible process with every bite we put in our mouths. At birth we inherited an enzyme reserve that becomes depleted over time by fresh food deficient, processed, over cooked and sugar laden foods. The enzyme reserve in our bodies were meant to kick in when we didn’t eat a meal that was at least ½ living or raw, cultured veggies (they provide their own enzymes to digest the food of that meal.

So over time, we are continually stressing the body’s reserve producing digestive complaints that can be reversed by eating 50% fresh, cultured veggies (making your own sauerkraut) sprouted foods or a combination with every meal.

Enzymes are proteins that break down and digest food to be small enough particles for easy passage through the tiny pores of the intestines to enter the bloodstream for assimilation and absorption of nutrients. (provided, of course that food is chewed thoroughly enough to begin the digestive process).

Enzymes are the missing link in our food storage and diets. Enzymes are what runs every process in our bodies. We can assist our bodies to work at their peak by incorporating more enzymes rich foods in our diets. Enzymes are present in all fresh fruits and veggies, dehydrated foods (dehydrated at less than 112 degrees), sprouted grains, nuts and seeds.

Ramp up the nutrition in your diet by incorporating more fresh or dehydrated veggies and grains in your daily diet and food storage plan by sprouting your grains, seeds, and nuts (soak for 12 hrs, then rinse morning and evening and it’s ready to go! Fresh food at your fingertips)

Processed foods cannot provide our body’s what they need for efficient body processes and energy over time. Live Simply, Live Self-Sufficient, Live Smart.

ChemiSan is a product which reduces the deadly pathogens in human waste (e-coli, dysentery, diarrhea, salmonella). It also eliminates odor and biodegrades.

It is a product when accompanied with our 100% compostable, 100% biodegradable bags, can be buried and return to earth. We got our start Globally in the G8 Summit a few years ago and are now infusing into retail stores all across the country (i.e. Wal-Mart).

Tips for People with Environmental or Chemical Sensitivities

Emergency Supplies

* Collect emergency supplies based on your worst days. Following a major disaster, an excess of smoke, excessive dust, molds, gas leaks, diesel from idling rescue vehicles, flashing lights, radio waves, electromagnetic fields (from generators, emergency lights, cellular phones, walkie talkies) and airborne toxins may trigger stronger reactions than you normally experience.

"Carry-With-You" Supplies to Keep with You at All Times

* Your emergency health information card. This should clearly explain your sensitivities, reactions, most effective treatments, and treatments which are harmful to you. Be specific, as environmental illness is not commonly understood. Remember that some reactions (disorientation, aphasia, panic) may be diagnosed and treated as something other than chemical sensitivity and you may not be able to describe your needs verbally.
* Medications including inhalers, epinephrine shots and anticonvulsant.
* Prescriptions and treatment authorization requests (T.A.R.s) from your doctor for unusual, orphan or hard-to-find medications.
* Supplements, herbs and homeopathic remedies.

Additions to Your Standard First Aid Kit

* Cotton bandages, gauze and paper tape.
* Hydrogen peroxide, zephiran chloride or your tolerated disinfectant.

Emergency Supplies

* Charcoal mask and/or respirator.
* Well aired-out (outgassed) plastic or steel tubing and ceramic mask or outgassed plastic mask for oxygen.
* Rolls of aluminum foil for covering chairs, your sleeping area, food, etc.
* Baking soda, stored in a waterproof container (for washing).
* Food that requires no cooking.
* Water. If storage in glass containers is necessary, consider using one quart bottles, stored inside layers of thick socks to protect the glass and enable carrying. Note: glass bottles will break if the water freezes and expands.
* A portable charcoal water filter.
* Before purchasing a fire extinguisher, find out about your sensitivity to the contents.

Evacuation Plan

* Know where the nearest safe places are, especially open air places, such as a beach upwind from traffic, refineries and fires.
* Avoid hermetically sealed shelters.

Checklist

* ________ Collect emergency supplies based on your worst days.
* ________ Collect "carry-with-you" supplies to keep with you at all times.
* ________ Make special additions to your emergency supplies as needed.
* ________ In case of evacuation, know where the nearest safe places are away from your home.

Remember the Voices of Warning on Preparation

Here are a few thought provoking quotes I ran across that should help us realize we have been admonished to be prepared and it is our chance to listen and follow the prophets.

“Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church–and the need for that cleansing seems to be increasing–a famine in this land of one year’s duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned.” (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p.265)

“Too often we bask in our comfortable complacency and rationalize that the ravages of war, economic disaster, famine, and earthquake cannot happen here. Those who believe this are either not acquainted with the revelations of the Lord, or they do not believe them. Those who smugly think these calamities will not happen, that they somehow will be set aside because of the righteousness of the Saints, are deceived and will rue the day they harbored such a delusion.” (Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p.265)

Roger K. Young said, “The Lord has warned and forewarned us against a day of great tribulation and given us counsel, through His servants, on how we can be prepared for these difficult times. Have we heeded His counsel? It is hard for me to understand why or how so many good and wonderful people can discount what the prophets have said, again, and again, and concerning what will suddenly happen to the world in the future.

President Benson said: “The revelation to produce and store food may be as essential to our temporal welfare today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah.” (CR October 1980, Ensign 10 [November 1980]: 33.) Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p.266)
