[HD-Site00] WELCOME TO HEALTH THRU GARDENING

Welcome to the HARD DATA BLOG for HEALTH THRU GARDENING here at http://healththrugardening.blogspot.com/ . This blog is part of our family of related blogs and focuses on the SCIENTIFIC DATA related to DIET, NUTRITION, FOOD & OPTIMAL FUNCTIONAL FOOD PRODUCTION.

HEALTH THRU GARDENING is a (for the time being) small grassroots non-profit, currently centered on Santa Monica and Malibu, CA. We focus on the relation between Nutrition and Health, and the best ways to insure optimal nutrition, namely, the creation, maintenance and continuous use of food-producing Organic & Sustainable Gardens.

Hard science demonstrates that the relation between the way we eat and the way we feel as well as the quality and length of our lives is indeed very close. So close that the best experts in the field have come to the conclusion that 95% or more of all chronic or acute diseases and illnesses that afflict us are, in the end, directly or indirectly function of our diet. We definitely are what we eat...

We are currently developing several blogs related to these subjects, the material of which will later be used to create a specialized portal, and for media syndication.

Because the quality of what we eat is so important to our health, we believe we should all follow the command once given to health seekers by Pr Dr Otto Warburg, the only physician to ever get TWO Nobel Prizes (missing a third by a hair width): "Get as much food from your own garden as you possibly can!"

Pr Warburg did not add the word "organic" in that command, because he could not even conceive that anyone would be foolish enough to even think about introducing chemicals in their own garden. For him, the very reason why one would want to and actually needed to have their own garden was precisely to avoid chemical contamination and other adulterations of our own foods! Dr Warburg's specialty was cancer, and he saw man-made chemicals and contaminated or adulterated foods as the direct or ultimate causes of most if not all cancers, and of a host of other medical conditions as well. A fact that has now been completely demonstrated in countless peer-reviewed publications since Pr Warburg's death in 1970.

Unfortunately, for many of us, our dietary habits are sacred cows, untouchable, sacred even if we have to die for them. And indeed, die we do!

But if health, longevity and quality of life are of any interest to you, this is something you need to face. Even if you love your fast foods, snacks, dairy, ice cream and "diet" soda. What we are talking about here is not just opinion, feelings, fad or fancy, like about everything you are accustomed to hear about when it comes to nutrition.

This is not another introduction to some other fad diet.

This is hard science, science as hard as it will get, and facts so unavoidable that you can only ignore them at your own peril.

Now, although a personal Organic & Sustainable Garden is not the only possible way to go, it is by far the safest and most cost effective, and this is why we focus on it.

Now, whether that Organic & Sustainable Garden is in your own backyard or rooftop, at a friend's place, in a Community Garden space, or even is a form of Guerilla Gardening on public or unused land, is not really very important. The only important fact are whether that garden exists, has been created and maintained as optimally as is possible, and if you eat out of it as much as you can. That's it!

Of course, not everyone will be inclined to maintain their own Organic & Sustainable Garden, so we will explore as well all possible forms of teaming up with friends or neighbors, barter deal, crop sharing deals and "Community Supported Agriculture".

How you get your unadulterated, fresh and functional food does not matter, as long as you get it!

Bringing you the best possible information about these and all related subjects is what we will pursue here through the publication of a family of related and interconnected blogs:

OPTIMAL GARDENS http://optimalgardens.blogspot.com/
This is the "General Knowledge" section of our blog family. It's already a treasure trove after only a few months existence, and everything we publish there can be freely reproduced and used by anyone so inclined, anywhere in the world, as long as the material remains unchanged, as our copyright notices are also licenses for non-commercial use.

Everything published there will be brought to the community in a manner than makes emulating what we do as easy as can possibly be.

PERSONAL GARDENS - THE SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL PERSONAL GARDENING
http://personalgardens.blogspot.com/ This is the "HOW TO" section of our blog family. And also where the technological aspects will be discussed.

Technological aspects? Of Gardening??? Indeed! In fact, it is our conviction that in a not too-far-away future, when the quality of the food we eat will be recognized by everyone at all interested in health issues, as the primary factor of Health, we believe that almost every health-conscious person will have an Organic and Sustainable "Personal Garden".

Exactly like everyone today has a "Personal Computer", and, in fact, several of them (desktop, laptop, iPod, cell phone, etc). And we also believe that these "Personal Gardens" will often be bought ready-made, be automatized and, actually, robotized. A necessary convenience.

We think of these "Personal Gardens" as the PCs or iPods of Nutrition. And we personally want to be at the forefront of that revolution. In dot-com veteran parlance, we see this as a "killer app'". Perhaps the ultimate killer app'. A paradigm shift of momentous nature, significance, and impact. A meme that has the potential to spread like wildfire. And, obviously, prime IPO material, particularly considering how many patents beg to be applied for around the general concept of "Personal Gardens". Plus, for a host of reasons, it seems fairly clear that the worse things will go for the economy at large, the more Personal Gardens will sell. Considering where we are headed, it should be clear that there is a lot of potential momentum to tap here...

Once you understand the issues at hand and the potential of the whole concept to completely change the way we eat, and in fact, the way we live, we believe you will be as excited as we are, particularly if you are a bit of the entrepreneurially-minded mindset.

And if all you want is to find out how to do-it-yourself optimally and at the least possible cost, you sure found the right pages!

HEALTH THRU GARDENING - COMMUNITY SERVICES & ADS
http://htgcommunityservices.blogspot.com/
This is the instrument through which we will bring replicable models of what we do to the community, in a way that will allow to emulate them effortlessly. Our goal is to create models that are truly easy to replicate, for anyone so inclined, anywhere in the world.

HEALTH THRU GARDENING - THE DATA
http://healththrugardening.blogspot.com/
This blog is currently in development, and will focus on the scientific data linking Health with Diet & Nutrition. A major article about "The Warburg Imperative" is in preparation, as well as an in-depth analysis of the "China Project" data brought to us by Oxford and Cornell Universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences under the leadership of a man who has been hailed as "the Einstein of Nutrition, Pr Dr T. Colin Campbell.

Finally, there will be a couple related blogs focusing on specialized issues. The first one is a related blog focusing on Compost & Composting at:
http://biocomposts.blogspot.com/

Interested? Wonderful! You can contact us by email, each blog's URL is also the corresponding email @gmail.com. For example, to discover what the email address for a blog named optimalgardens.blogspot.com/ is, you simply replace ".blogspot" by "@gmail" on the model: optimalgardens[.blogspot].com/ giving you [blogname]@gmail[.com]. This is valid for all our blogs.
