Freedom Reigns: Health Sovereignty & Natural Law
In this session, WAPF Chapter Leader / Certified Healing Foods Specialist Kevin Spyker will focus on core principles of Natural Law, the original framework of morality which governs the consequences of human behavior and consciousness. These simple truths are crucial to achieving personal growth, health sovereignty and building a resilient, dynamic community around us. Get a taste of true freedom in this timeless (and humorous) talk by the filmmaker of the food documentary "Fathead"---------->

NO MEETING IN AUGUST -- RESUMING ON SEPTEMBER 6TH!

Wise Traditions Monthly Meet-Up : : Monmouth County WAPF Chapter : : This Month ------->
Making Waves: Hidden Powers of Water & Sound
• Exploring the 4th Phase of Water
• Collecting from Natural Springs
• Healing with Sound
• EMF Risks & Reduction
WAPF Chapter Leader / Certified Healing Foods Specialist Kevin Spyker will be taking a deep dive into one of the most mysterious, abundant and overlooked substances... Inside of us, all other lifeforms, and all around our world: WATER
We'll learn about the unique anomalies of H2O that make life itself possible, peering beyond the familiar solid / liquid / v***r states of water to a 4th phase of organized crystalline properties which have proven to be crucial to cellular function. Known as 'Exclusion Zone' or 'Structured' water, this distinct phenomenon of H3O2 formation could be the key to optimal blood circulation, proper hydration and countless surprising health benefits.
Sourcing and storing a supply of clean water is vital these days, and Kevin will share his recommendations for the purest options in the region, and which filters may be a wise purchase (and which ones may not!)
Pioneers of this emergent science of 4th phase water are also documenting their confounding and seemingly 'super-natural' experiments in the realm of consciousness, memory, information storage and communication. We highly recommend checking out the WAPF archives of blogs and podcasts unveiling these astounding discoveries:
Dr. Gerald Pollack

Wise Traditions Podcast Episode 67
Wise Traditions Podcast Episode 407
Veda Austin
"Water: Wild, Creative, Fluid Intelligence"
Wise Traditions Podcast Episode 389
After a brief intermission, we'll reconvene for an overview of sound healing and biofield research, highlighting the work of some more of the foundation's renowned speakers Eileen McKusick and Dr. Beverly Rubik. While Eileen's groundbreaking work shows us how sound waves can restore our body and spirit, Dr. Rubik exposes the unseen risks of Electro-Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs) and how to recognize and remediate the health detriments associated with this proliferation of wireless devices, towers and satellites...

We'll conclude with another great debate of our time regarding standard tuning for musical instruments: 440hz versus 432hz
Kevin will share the backstory and science of this centuries-old quandary, and play some live music to demonstrate the difference!

Our Story
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated non-industrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
Characteristics of Traditional Diets:
1. The diets of healthy, non-industrialized peoples contain no refined or denatured foods or ingredients, such as refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or lowfat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; artificial vitamins; or toxic additives and colorings.
2. All traditional cultures consume some sort of animal food, such as fish and shellfish; land and water fowl; land and sea mammals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects. The whole animal is consumed--muscle meat, organs, bones and fat, with the organ meats and fats preferred.
3. The diets of healthy, non-industrialized peoples contain at least four times the minerals and water-soluble vitamins, and TEN times the fat-soluble vitamins found in animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin K2--Price's "Activator X") as the average American diet.
4. All traditional cultures cooked some of their food but all consumed a portion of their animal foods raw.
5. Primitive and traditional diets have a high content of food enzymes and beneficial bacteria from lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, dairy products, meats and condiments.
6. Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened to neutralize naturally occurring anti-nutrients such as enzyme inhibitors, tannins and phytic acid.
7. Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30 percent to 80 percent of calories but only about 4 percent of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, legumes, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
8. Traditional diets contain nearly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
9. All traditional diets contain some salt.
10. All traditional cultures make use of animal bones, usually in the form of gelatin-rich bone broths.
11. Traditional cultures make provisions for the health of future generations by providing special nutrient-rich animal foods for parents-to-be, pregnant women and growing children; by proper spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young.
