Raw Almond Milk

I have really came to enjoy having fresh homemade raw almond milk in the fridge. Its something I always thought about making over the years but always thought it would be so much more convenient to just buy in a carton. The store bought carton is much easier but the result is so much different. Fresh raw almond milk is very good for our health compared to the store bought carton which is not raw and has little or no life force(electrical potential).

Very little equipment or skill is needed to make it happen. First off you need the right almonds.
We always use raw almonds.

Raw almonds can be tricky to find as almost all non roasted almonds say raw. Truth is all these almonds imported into Canada from the U.S. are steam pasteurized. Be careful of almond butters from the U.S. that say raw as they too have to be steamed.

I haven't tested these steamed almonds for there ability to sprout but running them through hot steam can not be good for there life energy contained in the almond.

As far as I know you have to buy almonds imported from Europe as they are not required to steam pasteurize before importing to Canada.

This bag will make one batch of almond milk.

 

We bought these Sicilian Raw almonds from The Big Carrot in the Danforth.

Another place to buy raw organic almonds is Karma Co-op, downtown.

I have found them online at Upaya Naturals at about the same price (11.00 per pound) as we buy at the Carrot.

Now just soak these almonds at least 6 hours. We always do a longer (about 12 hours or more) to let the nut start to come alive. The nuts become more digestible and less acidic by soaking. They soak up quite a bit of water and if the water gets cloudy then change with some fresh water.

 

 

 

 

They will look nice and plump.

 

A good quality blender will be helpful but I think any blender should do the job. We have a Vitamix now but I have burned out many a cheaper blenders before we got this one.

Now add almost a liter of water. If you have a ionizer then add ionized water, and blend. It doesn't take long, maybe 15 seconds and its done.

The finer the blend the better.

 

 

 

 

 

Now you need to get out the strainer bag for making nut milks. This ones made of hemp and I twist the heck out of it and hasn't failed us so far.

 

 

 

 

Pour it in! 

 

 

 

Now squeeze well. Washing hands first would be a good idea if you plan on sharing your milk!

 



 

 

 

This produces a good amount, almost a liter. Left over is a ball of almonds that I have collected out of the nut bag. We usually feed this to the squirrels which they love. Funny watching them try to carry this ball up the tree. I think there are uses for this product however if you get creative.

 

 

 

Now seal up airtight in a jar in the fridge and try to use up over the next few days.

 

 

 

We tend to mix raw almond milk in with our green juice that we make quite often to produce a green nut milk. It goes together surprisingly well.

 

 

 

Now fill the remainder with almond milk and enjoy good health!

 

 



Samina Beds

This winter we took a drive up to Port Carling to check out the Samina Bed. We have been looking into some different brands of organic beds lately and this brand had caught our eye. Before heading up I had an in depth conversation with the owner Claus Pummer and liked what I heard.  It seemed worth the drive (1.5 hours north of Toronto) to see his show room in Port Carling.

 

 

We made the trip with our baby who of course slept the whole way.

 



 

Claus has an awesome showroom! Very nice surprise.

 







 

 

The Samina bed is made in Austria and has some unique features over all other organic beds that we looked at. First off the box spring which I am laying on is all made out of individual hardwood slats that adjust to your body.

 

Claus says I will never have to see my chiropractor again if we buy this bed. Every night you get a spinal decompression!

 

 

 

A competitor of the Samina bed said the foundation is not strong so Claus had both of us stand on the wood foundation to prove otherwise.

 

 

 



 

 

These beds have no steel springs or metal in the foundation which is great if you are concerned about reducing EMF exposure. Apparently with all the EMFs now, having steel in you bed is bad news.  

 

The bed also has the option to sleep grounded to the earth with the Lokosana option. This option also comes with Biomagnets.

 

Claus is also a sleep expert who knows his stuff on setting up your sleep environment that's conducive to a deep restful nights sleep. He gave us lots of good advice on how to configure our bedroom in such a way to mitigate EMFs. He says its extremely important to have a low EMF reading to allow your body to reach deep restful sleep.

 

The baby approves and we did lay in it for about 15 minutes and it felt great!

 

 



My wife Angela and Claus. It was a fun trip for a Saturday morning. Nice drive and some nice scenery.

 

 

We have not purchased as of yet and this bed is far from the cheapest (over $5000.00) but it has opened our eyes to the importance of buying the right bed and creating a safe sleeping environment.

 

Thanks Claus, for the hospitality!!

Toronto Cell Tower ( 401 and Avenue Rd)

Its amazing how may cell towers and cell phone antennas are in the city of Toronto. Especially driving along the 401 you see one after another. Its alarming just how densely covered the city is in cell phone radiation. Many refer to this blanket coverage as electro smog.


The picture below is of a cell tower at Avenue Rd and 401 area.  Just driving around Toronto we can see many towers and antennas on roof tops. It seems you can never really escape the radiation from the  overlapping of so many towers.

 

 

 

A video about how I got interested in cell phone towers/EMFs. I am no expert by any means but have spent many a hours looking into this and wish you well on your journey/learning!

 



 

Many experts on this subject really think that cell towers should not be in close proximity to where people live. These towers constantly emit high radiation levels that penetrate right into peoples homes. This can lead to various health effects in some people.

 

This video shows how we can make the invisible visible with the right detection equipment. Keep in mind that the levels that some scientists feel is safe is 1 or less especially in the area where you sleep. Experts say in order for the body to regenerate we need deep restful sleep and high radiation levels may interfere with this. Here we have 600 -700 range and varies as you move around the parking lot.

 

 

From what I understand the radiation is the same as what you find in your microwave but just a lesser amount. You may not cook or heat up but this cant be good for our bodies! The government body called Industry Canada sets the limits on the radiation exposure for us humans. They only look at the heating effects of the radiation. If it does not heat you up then they say you are ok! The limits they say are safe are way higher than what we are reading here.

 

I think at the cellular level our bodies are sensitive machines and each cell has its own electrical charge. This radiation cannot be good for us.

 

A video of some of my concerns for having such a thick layer of radiation around us at all times.

 

 

If you see one of these out your window then you might want to get educated on what some of the experts that study this stuff for a living are saying. I would personally want to move and give some distance and or buy some shielding products that can go on your windows or walls to shield from the radiation. Each home or apartment may get different readings so you really have to test to see what the readings are.

 

Keep in mind cell tower radiation transfers easier through a window then a wall.

 

The local buildings and homes might want to get a professional to check out their exposure.



Talk about thick electro smog. Just looking across the parking lot from the cell tower is another apartment building with cell antennas on the roof. These buildings are getting it from all angles. 

 

 This again is the building that has the towers on top of its roof. I took a walk a few hundred yards towards Avenue Road to see which apartment had the antennas.

 

 

 

 I wonder do any of the tenants know that there are cell antennas on the roof? Its not something most people give much thought to.

If you look up on this building you can see the antennas. I wonder if some of this radiation wraps back around and goes into some of the units. No one will know for sure unless they test with special equipment.

I wonder how much this apartment owner gets paid to have these antennas on the roof and is it worth the chance of exposing their tenants to microwave radiation?

Associate Professor of Environmental and Resources Studies, Magda Havas from Trent University, is an expert in this field. Visit her YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/magdahavas. She has lots of interesting videos here on radiation exposure and the risks. When I first became more aware of EMFs, all arrows seemed to point back to Magda Havas.

 There are good reputable companies in the GTA that can come to your home and test for exposure to microwave radiation and give you shielding solutions if you are concerned about the levels.

 

I had my own home tested by a company called EMF solutions. Check them out at http://www.emfsolutions.ca/index.php  Most of the focus seemed to be on the dirty electricity side of the equation and less with actual shielding from the cell tower radiation in our neighborhood. It was a good visit and they did provide us with some filters for our plugs to reduce the dirty electricity in our home and a written report.

 It was another stepping stone which took us to the next company called Safe Living Technologies. Their website is http://www.slt.co/  This is where we bought our radiation testing equipment. They also do home inspections and are very professional as they have spent lots of time on the phone with me over various EMF concerns I had. They are very helpful in informing of how to shield our sleeping area from radiation and electric fields. They have some very high standards which I like. Check out their media page as there are lots of good videos! 

 

Once we are aware of what we are dealing with its easy to take action and maybe improve your current or long term health.
