Canning is a process where we seal food or drinks in jars, then heat them to destroy microorganisms that cause spoilage. It's the same concept that the food industry undertakes to put food, such as soups or vegetables, in cans and sell it to the consumer. With home canning, you are in charge of all the ingredients as well as the taste and quality of your food.

This book will cover:
  • Canning Safety
  • Methods and types of canning
  • Canning Equipment
  • Types of food to can
  • How to Prep your food for canning
  • The canning process
  • and much, much, more
When we say canning we actually mean jarring, but the conventional method of canning gets its name from a food preservation method introduced by the French in the 1800s. We see this applied today, all over the world, to canned soups, peaches, beans, and so on today. The home method of canning differs in some ways, but the main principle is still the same.

7 Ways To Protect Yourself From Cell Phone EMF's

A cell phone's impulses can disable the brain's barrier that isolates the brain from poisons in the blood after only 2 minutes use.Cell phones are convenient, but you have to learn to use them in a way that doesn't harm your health. Or don't use one at all, like me. I haven't had a cell phone for over a year now and feel much better for it. Cell Phone Radiation Shown In Images!!
Here are 7  ways to protect yourself and your family from the hidden dangers of cell phone electromagnetic radiation.
  1. Limit your cell phone use to 2 minutes or less. Turn your cell phone off when not in use and when you are sleeping. Never keep your cordless phone near your head since it can produce higher doses of radiation because of the proximity and prolonged exposure while sleeping.
  2. Do not expose children under 16 years to cell phone or cordless phone use, especially younger children whose brains are 75% more susceptible to radiation damage than adults. Replace cordless phones with corded lines wherever possible. The cordless phone base emits high levels of EMR 24 hours a day, whether it's being used or not. IF YOUR CHILD MUST HAVE A CELL PHONE - ONLY LET THEM TEXT ON IT. TEXTING IS MUCH SAFER THAN HOLDING THE CELL PHONE RADIATION UP TO THEIR HEAD!! NO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING THOUGH.
  3. Use the phone's speaker and hold the phone away from your head when in use. Corded headsets gather radiation fields from around the phone and turn the user's head into an antenna for the base-station. Bluetooth headsets create a greater risk from concentrated microwave frequencies by pointing them directly into the ear. Use an air tube headset instead of a corded headset.
  4. Always keep your cell phone batteries charged to 100% bar strength since a low signal strength will boost the power output of the phone to the tower transmitters and emit stronger radiation.
  5. Do not carry a cell phone on or near the hip for an extended length of time. The hip produces 80% of the body's red blood cells and is especially vulnerable to damage from the EMR emitted from cell phones. Close proximity to the pelvis can also affect fertility.
  6. Keep cell phones turned off while in the car. Metal amplifies electromagnetic radiation and turns the car into a radiation cage that affects all passengers whether they're using the cell phone or not.
  7. Severely limit cordless phone and cell phone use if you are pregnant or when you are near pregnant women. Minimize other EMR exposures to the developing fetus that use ultrasound and electronic fetal monitoring unless absolutely necessary.
There are many preventive technologies that can be applied to electrical and electronic devices to decrease your exposure to electromagnetic radiation. These are just a few of the ways to provide cell phone and EMF protection for you and your family while still enjoying the benefits of modern living. Just use common sense. You can easily still use a c ell phone and keep your family healthy. Place limits on use and don't allow your children on them AT ALL!!
