Threats against parents in Maryland for refusing child vaccinations

It's hard to imagine that the freedom to make your own health care decisions for your family is coming to an end in some cities and states.

Following the State of Maryland's threats against parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated, children were herded into a Price George County courthouse being guarded by armed personnel with attack dogs. Inside, the children were forcibly vaccinated, many against their will, under orders from the State Attorney General, various State Judges and the local School Board Director, all of whom illegally conspired to threaten parents with imprisonment if they did not submit their children to vaccinations.

The State of Maryland has now turned to Gestapo tactics to force its medical will upon the People, stripping parents of any right to decide how they wish to protect their own children from infectious disease. Health authorities there have already announced their intent to essentially kidnap parents and throw them in jail, removing them from their children for up to thirty days if they continue to refuse to have their children vaccinated. This will all be conducted at gunpoint, with armed personnel and attack dogs at the ready, making sure nobody steps out of line, and suppressing any attempt at public dissent against the Orwellian vaccination policies.

It's so important to stayed informed on what is happening in states such as Maryland. Equally as important as staying on top of news like this is helping to educate those who are not informed about natural health care and its benefits and the potential dangers of allowing state takeover of what should be our own personal decision.

Covenant Natural Health Care strives to educate the community on ways to stay healthy naturally. Call our office at 859-653-4932 to find out about the next FREE workshop that we hold monthly.

Recipe: healthy whole-wheat chocolate chip cookies

Nothing like a chocolate chip cookie to put a smile on your face (especially a guilt-free cookie with healthy ingredients). Note that I used coconut sugar (I found it at Whole Foods Market, but Healthy Alternatives in Florence, KY also has it) in this recipe. It's starting to become the new best healthy sugar because of its low glycemic index. It doesn't taste like coconut and is dark like sucanat. I've used it a couple times for baking so far and have been pleased. I had a friend visiting a couple weekends ago and she used it in her coffee and liked it.

Ingredients:
• 1/4 Cup oat flour
• 1 Cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon aluminum-free baking soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1/4 Cup whole grain oats (or gluten-free oats)
• 1/4 Cup butter, softened
• 1/4 Cup olive oil
• 2/3 Cup coconut sugar (or sucanat)
• 1 Large farm-fresh egg
• 1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 Cup dark chocolate chips
• Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts- optional

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with wax paper (for easy cleanup).
2. In a medium bowl and stir together oat and whole-wheat flour, baking soda and salt.
3. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add oil, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth and creamy. With the mixer running, add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls, at least 1 inch apart, onto the baking sheet. Bake cookies until golden, about 10-13 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack.

Recipe: Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Who doesn't love a frozen treat in the heat of the summer? You can make a low-natural-sugar ice cream that contains no dairy by using coconut milk and coconut sugar. The best part is that it can be made without an ice cream maker if you don't have the luxury of having one.

This is a great recipe to let your kids (or grand-kids) help make and one you can feel great about serving your kids or guests. It's refreshing, healthy, and delicious!

Shopping List:
• 1 Can light coconut milk
• 1 Can regular coconut milk
• 1/2 Cup coconut sugar (Also called coconut crystals. I bought mine at Whole Foods Market, but it can also be bought at Healthy Alternatives in Florence, KY)
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract (learn how to make your own vanilla extract)
• 1 Tablespoon coconut flakes
• Pinch of salt
• Cinnamon, to taste

 

Directions:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium-size saucepan and turn your stove top on really low heat, gently working your way up to medium-low heat.
2. Stirring often, you want to heat the contents until all the coconut sugar is dissolved and mixture is slightly thickened and creamy.
3. Remove from heat and pour into a metal bowl.
4. Refrigerate until contents are thoroughly cooled (at least 1 hour).
5. Now, you have two options for continuing. If you have an ice cream maker—lucky you!—pour mixture into maker and follow manufacturer's instructions. If you don't have an ice cream maker, like me, you can still make ice cream following the continued directions below.
6. Cover with a lid or foil and place in the freezer. Now, you will have to beat it with a mixer (or stir by hand) every 30-40 minutes. I know, a little more labor and babysitting than with the ice cream maker, but it's worth it! And, hey, this is how they used to do it before ice cream makers, LOL.
7. You will have to continue to stir every 30-45 minutes about 4 times. The more it's beaten the softer it will be (and the more ice crystals you will work out). Then let it continue to freeze. Be patient because this could take up to eight hours or more. Ice cream made this way tends to be a little harder than with a machine, but as long as you set it out for a bit before serving, it will still be delicious.
8. Scoop into a bowl, top with fresh fruit or nuts and enjoy!

Modify this recipe to make an ice cream flavor of your choice (add mix-ins only after 2-3 hours of freezing):
• Mint chocolate chip: Add dark chocolate pieces and fresh mint leaves
• Vanilla bean: Scrape the beans out of a vanilla pod for a real, delicious vanilla flavor
• Strawberry: Add fresh strawberries
• Butter pecan: Add about a tablespoon of Amish butter and 1/3 cup pecans
• Chocolate: Add carob powder (for no caffeine) or cocoa powder
• Chocolate covered cherry: Add chopped, fresh cherries and dark chocolate pieces
