How to Safely Detox Your Body for PregnancyHealthy Living, Healthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child
When planning a pregnancy, women today have to consider their history of exposure to environmental pollution in order to appropriately cleanse the Body Temple in preparation for carrying a healthy baby to term.
This is a modern day challenge that Traditional Cultures did not have to grapple with. While Ancestral Societies initiated periods of special feeding prior to a couple conceiving a child in order to ensure proper nutrients were available for the optimal development of the fetus, detoxification from environmental poisons was unnecessary due to pristine water, air and food.
This is no longer true today.
Our world has become a toxic soup with persistent environmental pollutants such as dioxin, the chemical by-product of numerous industrial processes found even at the North Pole. Exposure to dioxin results in storage in body tissues.
There is a large vortex of garbage roughly twice the size of Texas swirling out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that keeps growing with each passing year.
The grouper in the Gulf of Mexico are so deformed from the BP oil spill I'm told by fishermen friends that I have decided not to eat it anymore even though I live on the Gulf Coast and just love grouper sandwiches.
Hike off many country roads in small towns or large — doesn't seem to matter — and you will find garbage and illegally dumped chemicals everywhere that are no doubt seeping into the ground water.
While I could go on and on about the environmental contaminants each and every one of us are exposed to on a daily basis, the point is clear – the synthetic prenatal vitamins recommended by conventional doctors three months before conception is not appropriate preparation for such a huge life event.
A minimum 6 months and ideally a full year of slow detoxification combined with nutrient dense dietary preparation is wise. Toxic babies born to toxic mothers are more likely to have allergies and even be allergic to their own mother's breastmilk. Autoimmune issues, behavioral problems and excessive crying characterize babies born with a large toxic load according to Nutritionist Kaayla T. Daniel PhD.
Above all, efforts to detox your body for pregnancy should be gentle! Long juice fasts or doing the Master Cleanse is totally unnecessary. There is no need to stress and strain the body with fasting or highly restrictive diets to get highly effective results.
Safely Detox Your Body for Pregnancy
With gentle and effective as the primary goals, here are six strategies to consider as the foundation for a pre-pregnancy detox regimen.
Wheatgrass Juice
My approach to detoxification for my first pregnancy 16 years ago was very simple – an organic diet which included a shot of fresh, organic wheatgrass juice almost every single day for several months. The chlorophyll in wheatgrass is what makes it so cleansing as cholorophyll is a potent blood, liver and gastrointestinal cleanser. Fresh wheatgrass juice also contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. In addition, it is low in oxalic acid which can be extremely problematic to health especially for those with candida or gut imbalance issues.
Most important to me at the time was the experience of nutritional pioneer Ann Wigmore in using wheatgrass juice. She regularly incorporated its use for detoxification for many years with great results.
Gelatin-Rich Bone Broths
Gelatin is collagen that has been broken down into its basic components by reacting with water through a process known as hydrolysis. Collagen is the main component of bones, tendons, cartilage and skin and is plentiful in homemade bone broths.
Gelatin has been demonstrated to soothe and heal the intestinal mucosa. In 1905, Erich Cohn of the Medical Polyclinic of the University of Bonn recommended gelatin to people with what is known today as Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS.
Probably the most exciting thing about gelatin that even people who are familiar with bone broths don't generally know is its role as a very safe method to detox your body.
This is due to the large amounts of the amino acid glycine which assists the liver with its housecleaning duties. The simplest of all the amino acids, glycine can be produced by the body and is therefore not considered essential, although the ease of the body in manufacturing glycine as needed is probably highly contingent upon whether a person is in radiantly good health!
The ability of the liver to do its job sufficiently is limited by the amount of glycine that is available so it makes sense to provide the body with all that it could possibly need through plenty of bone broths, ideally a small cup with every meal.
Given the toxicity of our world today and the high level of chemicals in our air, water, and food, large amounts of glycine in the diet through regular consumption of bone broths has become one way to assist the body with the nearly constant detoxification that is required to maintain health, in particular, detoxification before pregnancy.
Lacto-Fermented Foods and Beverages
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, home preservation of vegetables and fruits was accomplished without the aid of canning, refrigeration or freezing.
The traditional method for preservation of milk, vegetables, and meat involves a process called lacto-fermentation. Lactic acid preserves food by inhibiting putrefying bacteria. This organic acid is produced by a beneficial bacterium present on the surface of all plants and animals – even our own skin!
The process of lacto-fermentation works in a similar manner with plant foods, transforming cabbage into sauerkraut and cucumbers into pickles.
Traditional cuisines from around the world prized lacto-fermented foods and beverages for their medicinal properties as well as delicious taste. Most traditional cuisines included at least one fermented food or beverage with every meal, which worked to improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
Regular consumption of traditionally fermented foods and drinks promotes the growth of healthy flora and overall balance in the intestines. A 1999 study published in the Lancet found that consumption of lacto-fermented vegetables in children was associated with low rates of asthma, skin problems and auto immune disorders in general.
Lacto-fermented foods are rich in enzymes as well as beneficial bacteria. Think of lacto-fermented foods as "super-raw" foods that will help detox your body and prepare it well for the rigors and nutrient drain of pregnancy.
Cleansing Baths
Regular soaking baths with epsom salts or magnesium flakes will help to open the elimination channels both via the skin and the gut to rid the body of unwanted toxins.
A weekly soak of baking soda and sea salt (1 pound of each) for 30-45 minutes helps detox your body of accumulated radiation according to nutritional pioneer Hazel Parcells. It is a good practice after airplane flights or exposure to x-rays.
For more on detox baths, click here.
Plenty of Saturated Fat
According to a University of Rochester Medical Center study, exposure to the pervasive environmental pollutant dioxin alters the induction of milk-producing genes occurring around the very first week of pregnancy. This has the effect of decreasing the number of ductal branches and mature lobules in the mammary tissue which can in turn negatively affect breastfeeding.
Diana West, coauthor of The Breastfeeding Mother's Guide to Making More Milk, says that there has been a dramatic increase in recent years of women who who are having trouble producing enough milk for their babies, likely due to environmental contaminants like dioxin.
Fortunately, food can be protective from exposure. True Vitamin A found in plentiful amounts in saturated animal fats plays a unique role in protecting a woman from environmental pollutants.
Therefore, any detoxification regimen for a woman preparing for pregnancy should include generous amounts of grassfed dairy and other animal fats like egg yolks and liver which contain plentiful amounts of true Vitamin A. Note that while carotenes in plant foods can be converted to Vitamin A in the body, the conversion rate is very inefficient at best and may not occur at all at worst for those with gut problems. Plant foods cannot be relied upon for adequate Vitamin A.
Diatomaceous Earth
Toxic metals lurking in body tissues are a potential harm to a developing baby. Hair analysis and other tests from a professional can determine with certainty whether or not this is a problem for you. In lieu of expensive tests, however, a simple supplement consisting a tablespoon of food grade diatomaceous earth per 100 pounds of body weight per day in a glass of water can be used to detox your body by pulling toxic metals from the digestive tract.
Please note that while a gentle detox for pregnancy is a good idea, detoxification while pregnant and breastfeeding is most definitely not! If any physical symptoms are experienced while detoxing, click here for ways to quickly alleviate your discomfort.
* Be sure to watch out for these top 4 cleansing myths that especially should be avoided before pregnancy as they are very depleting!

Wat can ibdo to get cleaned up asap…im pregnant..an today was my last day smoking which i relapsed do to i gp to a outpatient rehab….wat can i so
How do you stop an accidental detox while pregnant AND nursing? I went to a friends house for a party and being pregnant and nursing, I chose to drink water instead of coffee or tea. Didn't find out til hours later, it was detox water and didn't make the connection until is spent the next day on the toilet. I've got three kids and I'm pregnant and my husband is out of town. This headache is killing me and I'm always in the bathroom. Is there any way to slow this down or make it stop? I'm starting day two today and I'm still barely functioning.
I am 30 weeks pregnant and want to start taking diatomaceous earth. I got it from the health food store and I was thinking about doing 1/4 teaspoon a day to start. I'm planning to breastfeed as long as my baby wants to so that's why I want to start now. I read on other sites that it's ok to start taking in pregnancy as long as it's a small amount so there's not a huge detox. Is this true? I don't want to harm my baby.
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I personally would not do it. I would suggest consulting with your prenatal practitioner.
Hi Sarah, what do you think about kaolin internally? I got this Colo-Vada Plus cleansing program (vitamins + Kaolin), is it safe to use while trying to conceive?
I totally agree with your position that any detox needs to be done in a gentle manner. You don't want to do anything that is going to give the litle one growing insid you too big of a shock.
Sarah, could you use Bentonite Clay instead of Diatomaceous Earth?
Sarah TheHealthyHomeEconomist
I would *not* use bentonite clay due to worrisome problems with heavy metal contamination. This from Dr. Kaayla Daniel who wrote about it in one of her articles on heavy metals.
Would these suggestions also apply to the father? Or do you have other recommendations for men prior to conception?
I do agree with all of the ideas you have introduced on your post.
They are very convincing and can definitely work.
Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for starters.
May just you please extend them a little from subsequent time?
Thank you for the post.

I have a question. I noticed the disclaimer at the end of the article about NOT detoxing during pregnancy but if a woman has been doing these things (detoxing) several months before pregnancy do you think it would be alright during pregnancy. Mainly taking DE, oil pulling, maybe some body brushing?
This is such good info! I really appreciate everyone's input! Now, I have just read an article on OralWellness and they said that they gave up Kombucha because of high fluoride content! I am confused! Does anyone know more about this? Thanks!
Just wondering if you think using bentonite clay internally would be a safe method of detoxing for preparing for pregnancy?
Thank you!
Question: I have been "detoxing" for a while now, pure organic, super foods, grass fed, juicing, smoothies (although I know your against those) saturated fats… My question is about Wheatgrass— It makes me nauseous every time… I cant even smell it now. What does this mean? I bought organic wheatgrass from a trusty source in the city where I live. Any tips?

Megan Chase via Facebook
How long would you recommend detoxing before trying to conceive? I have had chronic fatigue and brain fog since 2007 but managed to conceive and have a healthy baby boy in Jan 2010. I am paranoid about getting pregnant now because I have a feeling that I need serious detoxing (hence the issues mentioned above) and that if I don't it could effect the health of the baby. However, my son is now already 3.5 and I kind of feel like it's now or never as far as having a second. I know most people probably need detoxing and most people end up with healthy babies…so am I worrying too much?
Joanna Katherine
Megan, do you have or have you had Mercury amalgam (Silver) fillings? Even being worried and overwhelmed is a side affect in addition to every symptom you mentioned above.
Lauren Ayers
Great info! And while we're at it, let's stop absorbing the three Terrible Halogen Sisters (chlorine, bromine, fluorine), three neurotoxins (also endocrine disruptors) which block the body's ability to absorb iodine, the Wonderful Halogen essential for health (but 80% of us are deficient, and it evaporates from salt too quick to rely on that source). Dr. Brownstein's book will educate you: Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It.
* Avoid the chlorine in tap water, both for drinking and soaking in a bath. Chlorine evaporates — that's why you leave water for a fish tank to sit for a few hours — so get a water filter or fill the tub with very hot water, exit the bathroom (leave the fan on and/or open the windows) for a while, then take a bath in water with less chlorine.
* Get rid of all upholstered furniture made after 1972, since the foam after that contains a lot of PBDEs (or other toxic flame retarding chemicals). The "B" is for bromine. Vacuum a lot to pick up the foam particles, and get non-foam pillows. It's also in auto upholstery and carpet padding. Ditto for all beds sold after 2007,when a new law required them to withstand 90 seconds of direct flame; the way most companies accomplish that is with PBDEs or other flame retardants. Americans have 1500 times more PBDEs than people in Germany.
* Don't drink (or take baths in) fluoridated water, and only use pastured bones for bone broth (other bones are high in fluorine, which accumulates in the bones over a lifetime). Alas, the Organic Standards allow cryolite, a fluoride-based pesticide, for fumigation so a number of foods, like grains and nuts, so many foods have higher levels of fluoride than is allowed in tap water (and at .7 ppm that's too high since .1 ppm harms fish eggs). Read up on fluoride at FluorideAlert.org, it's scary how bad it is, and how ubiquitous it is.
Such a timely post! I was just about to purchase Dead Sea Salts (5kg bucket) to use for baths. The same supplier sells 5kg buckets of Epsom Salts, and also Magnesium Flakes. Can anyone give me the *which is best* if I can only afford one right now?
Joanna Katherine
Pascalite clay. http://www.pascalite.com. It has a 90 drawing power and good for many things. I know it wasn't in the post but it's such an amazing detoxifier internally and externally.
Mali Korsten
Thanks for the awesome tips!
Can you do these detox and cleanse tips that you've offered while pregnant? I know a woman who is pregnant, and has some sort of temporary disorder with her liver.
Donna C
When I was first pregnant, my liver panel numbers were terrible. I was able to make those numbers beautiful by the end of my pregnancy. A few things I did was lemon juice in my water, daily dandelion tinctures, and eat dandelion frequently. I also drank a lot of water. That, combined with other herbs and things like magnesium and a good diet made me very healthy by the end of my pregnancy. On everything I consulted my midwife and her back up OB. I would suggest your friend do the same. I also had a consult with Susun Weed over the phone.
Thanks for this post. I have been actively trying to conceive for a few years and have included a number of what you listed into my regular daily life….fermented foods/beverages, gelatin, green drinks…not wheat grass…will have to try that…
I am planning on taking a month or two "off" from trying….so my question is…is it safe to add all of your suggestions…even though I don't plan to take a full six months off? I did my best to prepare for a year prior to trying to conceive, but have since continued to make great changes. Is it safe to do these things while actively trying to conceive?
Where I feel detoxing on some level would be helpful, I don't want to do the deep cleanses that takes years to recover from as I am 39. However, I very much would love to cleanse in anyway that could help gently remove toxins and help prepare for pregnancy.
Does anyone know of any natropath/ integrative drs that are familiar with dealing with unexplained infertility like thyroid/adnrenal, gut,alleriges, candida/parasites, etc in the Tampa Bay area…that are ideally familiar with the WAPF principles?
Thanks so much.
Sarah, what would you suggest if one is already pregnant, unexpectedly, with baby #7 … are any of the above ideas still a good idea?
Sarah Lynn via Facebook
i'll have to check this out if i meet the right guy in the next couple years. My clock is tickng
Marisol Salvador via Facebook
Yes!!! Thank you for this!
Which of these are ok in pregnancy/nursing? Obviously broth and ferments are still a healthy choice while pregnant and nursing but what about the others? Do they need to be completely avaoided or just less frequently?
Sarah @ Politically Incorrect Health
I love epsom salts baths! I didn't know about the benefits of baking soda and sea salt baths. I will have to incorporate these as I travel often for work!
My detox foot pads are also a gentle detox for those who aren't able to handle harsh detox. (www.purifyyourbody.com) however, it is also not recommended to use them DURING pregnancy like Sarah mentioned.
But, I LOVE diatomaceous earth. My body craves it (maybe it is the silica content in it?) although I have not heard it is able to take out heavy metals…. I use zeolite for that, and diatomaceous earth to replenish minerals and also to kill parasites.
I also mix epsom salts and bentonite clay in the bath (along with Miracle II soap for bubbles!) and essential oils.
I eat gelatin and also fermented veggies, too.
Great article!
My friend told me about Isagenix Cleanse for life and I love it in addition to our traditional cooking habits. Personally I could not get my husband completely on board with homemade deodorant toothpaste soaps and gluten free carrot soup and salad for dinner. And second, I hit a weightloss plateau and couldn't get the last bit off. Isagenix offers a cleanse drink, which I give to my kids daily and they love it! And it gives me peace of mind cause now I know their body is being rid of the toxins in our air, water and in foods that I am unable to control them consuming when they are not with me..this stuff is all real food and practically organic..its safe prepregnancy and they even have meal supplements and vitamins that are great during pregnancy when I couldn't stomach other foods or just didn't have the time or ability to cook all meals for my family..
Sarah, would you still recommend wheatgrass shots while breastfeeding? Thank you.
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
I did wheatgrass shots while breastfeeding (once or twice a week) although not nearly every day like when I was detoxing before getting pregnant. It is really up to you .. if you were already doing them before pregnancy, no reason not to continue. If you have never detoxed before and are breastfeeding, be careful and go very slow. I would recommend asking your midwife also who has your medical history and can guide you with that decision.
Jennifer Trujillo via Facebook
Id have to add in good chiropractor care. This really helped me before, during and after pregnancy. It also helped my baby!!!
Cassandra Mayer via Facebook
Is it ok to take wheat grass shots twice a week while nursing?
Jenny C.
Do you have any links on how to make your own wheatgrass juice or where to buy wheatgrass seeds to grow your own? I don't have a juicer… could it be made in a blender?
Donna C
It is just wheat. Here are some basic directions on how to grow the wheatgrass from wheat: http://www.wheatgrassgreenhouse.com/growgrass.html
It is beyond horrifying what is happening to this planet. Chlorella should also be good for detoxing.
Would Colloidal Silver be fine for pregnant women? It's good for all kinds of stuff, I know. It may not detox your system but if you get any bad stuff in your body, while pregnant, it should move it on out without causing any harm to you or your baby.
Question about wheatgrass Sarah – Do you still recommend wheatgrass for someone if they are very gluten intolerant? I would love the benefits of it but I am gluten intolerant… Will it affect me negatively the same way as if I had a piece of wheat bread for example?
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Pure wheat grass juice (no seeds) does not contain gluten so you should be fine to try it.
Question: I have been "detoxing" at least for the last 8 months, pure organic, super foods, grass fed, juicing, smoothies (although I know your against those) saturated fats… My question is about Wheatgrass– It makes me nauseous every time… I cant even smell it now. What does this mean? I bought organic wheatgrass from a trusty source in the city where I live. Any tips?
Joanna Katherine
I've heard that wheatgrass is very susceptible to mold. Just FYI. They may not be storing it properly or they may have a bad batch.
Mindy, The Homespun ARTisan
Baking soda and sea salt baths for radiation exposure! Man, that's good to know! Just wish I had fluoride free bath water… I can't stand the thought of submerging myself in a hot tub of fluoride… ugh. Maybe I could do small foot baths though with my Berkey water…
hi mindy, you can use Bentonite clay in your bathwater. I don't like the idea of sitting in fluoride either, so I put 2-3 TBSP of powdered bentonite clay in the water along with whatever else i'm using (Epsom salts for example). The clay bonds to the icky stuff in the water and keeps it out of your body.
The dads need to detox, too, before conception.
Raspberry leaf tea is very supportive of the female reproductive system.
as is celery. just ask the Amish
Just found what Sarah said about it on her Facebook page, which is good enough for me!! Just make sure to use fluoride free water and organic, good quality tea bags:
"This is ONLY a problem with conventional tea grown with commercial fertilizers. Natural fluoride in the soil is not a problem .. kombucha has been safely consumed using organic tea for centuries."

A selective potassium binder
ZS-9 is being investigated for the treatment of hyperkalemia.1
ZS-9 is an insoluble, nonabsorbed zirconium silicate designed to preferentially trap potassium ions in order to lower and maintain control of serum potassium levels. ZS-9 is passed through the digestive tract and eliminated in the stool.1
ZS-9 uses technology that is hypothesized to mimic natural ion channels to make it difficult for ions other than potassium and ammonium to enter its crystalline structure.1
Abbreviations: Si, silicon; Zr, zirconium; O, oxygen; K+, potassium ion; Mg2+, magnesium ion; Ca2+, calcium ion.
For illustrative purposes only. Adapted from Stavros et al, PLoS One, 2014.
Potassium ions pass readily through the ZS-9 pore, while other ions do not.1
- In an in vitro study, ZS-9 demonstrated a >25-fold selectivity for potassium over both calcium and magnesium.1

Top 10 Super Bowls
- Oldest first

I actually think the Broncos vs. Pack Super Bowl was the best one. It was well played throughout the game and close to the end and historic giving Elway his Super Bowl win. Some of these Super Bowls were close but some were boring throughout until the end or weren't well. A great Super Bowl is not a close game but a well played game and this had both.

I think that part of the problem is short memory. There were way too many in this "Top 10" that were in the last 10 years. What about some of the real early ones? The only real early one was Joe Namath's braggadocio game, but where are the Bart Starr wins?

Skip to comments.Guess Who's Coming to CPAC? (Breitbart & Norquist Gush Over GOProud in Homosexual Publication)
Posted on 02/10/2011 8:46:00 AM PST by Pyro7480
...Calling this "a maturing point for the conservative movement," Breitbart minces no words: "If being conservative means rejecting gay conservatives because they are gay, then fine, I'm not a conservative."
..."No, we're not giving cover to bigots," he [Chris Barron of GOProud] argues. "What we're doing is separating the people who don't agree with the left-wing agenda from the real bigots. You can be against ENDA and hate crimes and federal safe schools legislation and not be a bigot. If you're Tony Perkins, you're a bigot. You're against all of that stuff not because of any federalist reasons, but actually because you're just a nasty, anti-gay bigot."
..."There are socially conservative groups who are a part of CPAC. You have the pro-life groups, you have education school choice groups, all kinds of Second Amendment groups," he [Jimmy LaSalvia of GOProud] says. "Lots of social conservatives are represented at CPAC."
"And we're at CPAC. It's still the preeminent conference of conservatives in the country. The groups who aren't there are the anti-gay groups. That's it."
...Going to the substance of what he says is the primary reason for his support of GOProud, Breitbart says, "I believe, to the core of my being, that what I'm doing is supported by the vast majority of the people who consider themselves conservatives in this country."
...Barron looks at the landscape: "We've said all along that we don't think that the conservative movement is unwelcoming to gay people. There is a fringe element. A really nasty, anti-gay, bigoted element. And we have smoked them out, and we have marginalized them."

who exactly made Barron and Breitbart the preeminent, super duper experts and spokespersons for conservatism? "We have marginalized them" (?) Sounds like a liberal to me.
There is a difference between respecting a person's right to do what they want to in their own bedroom, and not promoting homosexual relationships as being no different from and equally valuable as heterosexual relationships.
Unfortunately, if you want to be invited to the right parties, you have to pretend to see no difference between a parade of grown men in chaps, and a march civil rights march in Selma Alabama.

If you're against deviancy you're a bigot. Breitbart stuck his foot in it up to his neck.
MY beef...Marriage at it's very creation is biblical. The power players in the "gay community" do not represent most gays and they don't want "rights", they could get that with civil unions, they want to discredit biblical values and shove a rewritten "Word" down everyone's throat. That is not conservative...it's fascist.
"..And we have smoked them out, ..."
Yeah...they "smoke" something, all right...
The only ones that seem to care tha GOProud is going to CPAC is liberals
I know I dont care.
Anyone who likes conservative government is welcome.
"separating the people who don't agree with the left-wing agenda from the real bigots"
If you don't agree with the left-wing agenda then you're a real bigot? Who is this homo?
Keep it light,
keep it bright,
keep it gay!
GOProud is conservative as long as it includes homosexuals as a special group, healthcare, social security, homosexual marriage etc..
If being conservative means rejecting politics of group identification, are you still a 'conservative'?
Excellent post. Evidently, Brietbart & friends no longer hold to the same origins of morality that traditional conservatives use and they wish to "marginalize" us.
Andrew Breitbart looks more and more like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
cpac has outlived its usefulness because it is suffering from DC beltway disease.
We need a major well funded alternative to occur at the exact same time and squash this (non)-C-pac
And, Sarah Palin thinks it is a good idea for GOProud to be a part of CPAC?
I wonder how Norquist' Middle Eastern wife feels about him embracing the gay issue?
I'm not surprised that Grover Norquist is doing this. But I'm very disappointed in Andrew Breitbart.
OK, as far as I'm concerned, Breitbart is all washed up. Finished. Done.
It cannot be repeated too often. There is a big difference between homosexuals who do their thing (which is bad enough) and homosexual activists who want to impose their lifestyles on the entire country, including kindergarteners.
And as for GOProud, there is a big difference between spreading conservative values in the homosexual community and spreading homosexual advocacy in the conservative community. GOProud is only interested in spreading homsexual values. There leader has said exactly that, and it's clear enough from their takeover of CPAC. It's nothing but Log Cabin Republicans on steroids.
Why do you think that? Seventy-five percent of homosexuals vote for Democrats. All of the "Republican" and "conservative" homosexual groups (Log Cabin Republicans, GOProud) have a similar objectives as the Democratic party in regard to promoting homosexuality.
CPAC is going to come apart as a result of this. It won't happen immediately, but when conservatives begin to understand the full extent of the factionalism that is being promoted by Norquist and others there will be a major backlash. I'm hoping Mark Levin will lead the charge against this poisonous nonsense. Pseudo-conservatives like David Frum will be rubbing their hands with glee over the success of this divide and conquor strategy.
It's always the same with gay groups and their supporters. If you won't affirm their behavior or embrace their agenda, you're a (fill in the blank).
This post should not be in front page news.
There is nothing new about CPAC being a useless organization...and if gays being a big part of the Beltway GOP types is 'big news' than y'all have been a sleep...
Because the Dems still pretend to be reasonable..when they are not.
Most the gays I know are like the majority of the population..they watch political TV two weeks prior to elections, vote and then never pay attention until the next time around. They have jobs and families and they just want to be left alone. If you talk to them about the "gay agenda" most of them think it's nuts.
This is a great country to be gay in when you look at the world as a whole and they are not out to force anyone to change for them...of all people I think they can understand pure bullying and that is what the "leaders" here are about...not "gay rights".
It's the same with the "leadership" of the feminist movement, it's been overrun by extreme fascist leftists that couldn't care less about woman's rights and care more about big government totalitarianism.
Every worthwhile movement in the country has been taken over by big government nut wackos.
Homosexuality is a sin. Lying is a sin. Stealing(cheating on your taxes) is a sin. The very thought of foolishness is sin. God has a low threshold for sin. It is man who wants to put degrees on the awfulness of sin.
Ask my personal opinion on homosexuality and I will tell you. It is sin. Having said that, I have worked with homosexuals at several companies. As long as they did their job, supported company goals, we worked well together. Outside of work, we parted ways.
My point is conservative ideals are much larger than just whatever we call the coupling of homosexuals. If they support limited government, lower taxes, American exceptionalism, a strong national defense, and are law abiding, what they do in private can't be controlled. They are going to do it anyway.
Jesus said,"Let him without sin cast the first stone". From the oldest to youngest they walked away. Why? The longer one lives the more one learns how far short of God's standard they truly fall.
Their only agenda is homosexual.
Christopher Barron, GOProud Chairman of the Board: "We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people." Aug 4, 2010; 4:04pm
The oldest ones left first because they knew they broke the law and could be stoned.
The law was that both the man and the woman had to be judged together. AND they had to be caught in the act. There had to be witnesses. If you accused someone and the law wasn't followed, you suffered their punishment. Stoning to death. Had ONE Pharisee cast a stone they could also be stoned to death.
The Pharisees were trying to set up Jesus but didn't follow the law. The Scripture states that the oldest dropped their stones first because THEY knew the law. And they knew the punishment.
I think it's safe to say that anybody who hates the concept of recognizing that marriage is only for heterosexuals is a bigot.
If homosexuals want to work with us because we are willing to respect their private lives, they certainly should because we do.
Some of Grover Norquist's other friends, however, . . .
And why does Breitbart think anal sex is something that shouldn't be at the very least discouraged?
AB has some of the nasty traits that fit in with the GOProud types and don't forget he was an original partner in the HuffPo project. Don't know what to think..
She's *never* attended CPAC. She not on their Board of Directors. She has no vested interest whatsoever in CPAC's pursuits.
They will not reason the concept that marriage is exclusively a biblical created state, they cannot reason that changing the meaning voids and discredits the bible as a whole and they dare not reason what would happen if the meaning of marriage could be opened to the joining of any and all men or beasts.
He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; and he that dares not reason is a slave.
I didn't used to care much about GOProud. After reading this spew by this clown who demands approval of his faggotry or screams "You're a bigot" - I have a very unfavorable opinion of the group.
It is not "bigotry" to find two men kissing distasteful. It is not "bigotry" to find two men having anonymous sex in a public restroom extremely distasteful. It is not "bigotry" to find oral-anal contact disgusting.
It's common sense. FOAD, GOProud.
The expect us to play "Let's pretend" with them, and get very hissy if we don't.
The bottom line is God states clearly choosing a homosexual lifestyle is not only wrong but an abomination.
I always go with the big Guy and whatever He says.
Anyone who chooses homosexuality lifestyle or chooses to defend it simply chooses to disagree with God. That is dangerous and quite arrogant to think one knows better than Him.
As long as it fills their pockets and keeps up the elite lifestyle, my guess is she's all for it.
When you've already taken money from Soros and Islamist radicals, can you really sink any lower?
Good article by Don Feder, reminding us of who Norquist really is:
Gays, Grover And Islamists CPAC, It's Not Your Ronnie's Conservative Conference
Correct. A non-pc CPAC of old.
Thanks for that!
almost as amazing is the wedded bliss Bill Lockyer enjoys with his civil rights wifey, one-time MALDEF attorney.. and we see who Huma hooked up with in NY, a real winner there,, Weiner. :-}
something about them middle eastern and latino politico gals, I reckun.. agenda.. wife, mother, activist, opportunist,, not necessarily in that order.
Perhaps it is time to put the mechanism in motion to take it to the next level.
Sarah or Michele may not have as big a ears as Perot.. however, the TEA Party is both long overdue and obviously necessary to influence opinion and preserve what we can after such an orchestrated attack by enemies both without and within, all the while our security folks are either clueless or unwitting co-conspirators to a nation's cultural demise.
The old 'Taxation without Representation' gambit still rings true today as a motivation as strong as it did way back when this Republic came into being.. perhaps more so, look at the price to be paid for this nation to continue its ruinous path.
Nero has his blinders on, the empire is burning from within, we aren't that far removed from what is happening in Egypt..
Fair call. I wish people were less tribal. Tribalism is for Democrats. Why is there a C in CPAC? Seems like George Washington would've be banned too.
We have the most inept clown EVER running the country. He is in the process of DECEIVING the "sheeple" in to believing he is moving to the middle from the extreme far-left. Even Charles Krauthammer acknowledges this ruse predicting an immediate return to the left fringe if Obama is re-elected.
If the GOP, GOProud, social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and any/every other conservative group can't come together with the common goal of defeating Obama in the next election, then we will deserve the liberal/socialist/statist hell hole this country will continue to become under his leadership.
We are ONE Supreme Court Justice(Scalia, Alito, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy) away from an extreme leftist, America destroying, majority on the SC. Can't WE all come together to make sure that doesn't happen? I am starting to doubt it. The "purity" and "litmus" test mentality that dominates what makes up the GOP is disheartening.
Amen about Breitbart. Looks like the conspirators are trying to split the social conservatives. I think they are still holding on to the pro-life people because they have pacs that give a lot of money to pro-life candidates. If they didn't have that money and organization Breitbart and Norquist would throw them under the bus.
It looks like the pro-lifers and the NRA owe CPAC favors from years gone by. It looks to me like CPAC is doing a "rope-a-dope" on the pro-life and gun people by suddenly adding the Muslims, gays and libertarians, their heads must be spinning. CPAC is not a friend to the pro-life and gun groups, they have been using them all along. Isn't this what has been wrong with politics for so long? What we have not been aware was going on for many years? Now people are seeing what is behind the faux "conservative" label. How many other wolves in sheeps clothing are there out there? It always comes down to who is for the elite insiders and who is for the people. These frauds have been talking the talk for years but they had their own selfish secret agendas. Let them all be exposed so that they can be brought down from their places of power.

Tim introduces the sideboard and shows the membership the source for his drawings as Plate 65 from Verna Cook Salomonsky's "Masterpieces of Furniture".
Tim describes his process of importing the drawing into Sketchup and producing an electronic plan that specifies every detail of construction, including the details of all marquetry and jointwork.
Detail of the beautiful sideboard showing the stringing, banding, inlay, and veneering details. The primary wood is Mahogany and Mahogany Crotch. The stringing is made from Holly.
View of the cabinet interior. Secondary wood is locally grown Monterey Pine which Tim explained has many wonderful woodworking properties.
The deep bottle drawer has some tricky construction that was required to produce the illusion of two stacked drawers. The drawer components were also made from Monterey Pine.
Detail of Bottle Drawer front showing the veneering and banding details as well as a the dovetails.
Some of the hammer veneering tools and the printout of the Sketup pattern showing all the veneering and banding details. Tim's detailed Sketup drawings mean that every step in the woodshop is planned ahead of time allowing one to work extremely efficiently.
The process of hammer veneering the drawer fronts begins by slathering hot hide glue onto the ground. The toothing plane shown on the left was brought by Joe Jerkins to discuss the process, but Tim does not go over the surfaces with a toothing plane. Toothing is typically only necessary for evening out the thicknessing of sawn veneer when a thickness sander is not available, or for roughing the surface of the ground so that the veneer does not slip around during the hammer veneering process, which is sometimes necessary.
Tim also brushes glue onto both sides of the veneer. It's necessary to work quickly at this point or the glue will cool down too much.
Applying the veneer to the ground using the veneer hammer. He starts at the center working out towards the edges. The idea is to push the excess glue out from under the veneer.
After the veneer has had a chance to set for some hours, Tim slices the edges to make room for the edge banding. Tim uses the Lie-Nielsen tool developed by Steve Latta for this purpose. The cut line at this point does not have to be super clean since the 1/32" wide stringing that will be applied later will cover up any imperfections.
Detail of the cutter.
The waste side of the sliced veneer is removed. It's best to do this within a day or so of applying the first piece of veneer so that the glue has not had a chance to bond fully and the waste can be removed easily.
Using the radius cutter to cut the corners.
Detail of the radius cutter.
Applying the banding. Hide glue is used here as well.
To produce the miter at the corners the banding on one side is first layed down. Then the miter is cut using an Xacto knife with a #11 blade. After the cut, the banding on the other side of the miter is trimmed and applied. Joe Jerkins pointed out that inexpensive, unsterilized #11 scalpels are a much sharper substitute for Xacto knife blades and are capable of super clean cuts.
How it looks at this stage. The joint between the banding and the center veneer will be cleaned up when the stringing is applied in a subsequent step.
Another view.
The grooves for the stringing are created by simply rerunning the two cutters along the veneer faces after all the veneer has had a chance to setup.
Cleanup of the corners is done using dental picks and a home made right angle cutter.
Detail of the clever home-made right angle cutter.
The finished groove, ready for the stringing.
The holly for the stringing begins as thin strips sawn from solid Holly using the table saw.
The sawn Holly veneer is sliced using the Lie Nielsen cutting gage on a specially made board. There is a fence at the front of the shooting board. The veneer is held against one side of this fence and the cutting gage rides on the other side of the fence. This is far more accurate than trying to run the fence of the cutter directly against the veneer.
The cut piece of stringing.
The stringing is easily and accurately thicknessed by simply pulling it through the thicknessing gage.
For applying the stringing, Tim prefers to use regular yellow glue. It works better for this purpose than the traditional hide glue.
Pushing the stringing into the groove.
Running a scrap piece of wood along the stringing to ensure it is evenly and deeply in place.
Once in place the stringing can be immediately cleaned up using a cabinet scraper.
The stringing for the curved portion is heated and bent using a modified soldering iron.
Applying the heat bent stringing around the rounded corner.
This is Tim's current project - a heavily carved Philadelphia style low boy. As with all his projects the process begins with importing the research material into SketupUp and generating complete, highly detailed drawings.
Tim shows details of the double dovetails holding the corners together.
Sketup was used to create working drawings of the corner dovetails.
Sketup was also used to produce the carving templates. Using Tim's highly organized method *nothing* is left to chance!
The carving in process side by side with the plan drawing for the carving.
Detail of the highboy.
Arnie shows us a mockup of a recent project he completed on commission. He tells us how the mockup could have saved a great deal of effort had the customer been open to comments from him before construction had begun.
Listening to Arnie's travails.
Joe shows us a James Bay casting for an English style smoother he is working on. He is asking the membership for comments on how to cut and fit the cocobolo infill.
Detail of the casting.
Two beautiful Clarke and Williams smoothers that were brought in to show the membership. The one on the left is an almost unique cocobolo example.
The antique veneer toothing plane, showing the toothed blade.
Alan unwraps a package from Olde Street Tools (formerly Clarke and Williams) he had just received that morning. It contains a rabbet plane he ordered two years ago!
The blade on this plane is not skewed as is common on extant antique examples. The straight blade is easier to guide in the work when using the plane to rough out mouldings.
A beautiful Maloof style rocker Tim created from drawings in a Fine Woodworking article authored by Sam Maloof.

A grad student at the University of Texas in Arlington has found a rare new poem written by the first black published writer in America, Jupiter Hammon. Hammon was born into slavery in 1711. While researching Hammon's poems, Julie McCown found the 200-plus-year-old manuscript buried in the archives at Yale University Library in Connecticut. The poem is dated November 1786 and was in near "perfect" condition according to UTA professor Cedrick May.
Writings by Jupiter Hammon were last found in 1915.
Interestingly, May is a professor of African American literature but McCowan studied Hammon's writings as part of his electronic text design and web publishing class.
In his first published book, Hammon referred to slavery as the will of God. That was in 1760. In this new poem, he refers to it as a man-made evil.
Hammon was born in 1711 to the Lloyd family in Long Island, New York. He was close to the family and was educated with his owner's children. He served as their bookkeeper and negotiator of business matters. A devout Christian, Hammon served as a preacher among slaves. His writings focused on the gradual emancipation of slaves rather than the immediate. It was said that he believed the practice was so entrenched in society that it would be too difficult to achieve. His comfortable words were more accepted by whites and several white abolitionist groups published his work. His first publication was "An Evening Thought: Salvation by Christ with Penitential Cries." The credits for the poem read: "Composed by Jupiter Hammon, a Negro belonging to Mr. Lloyd of Queen's Village, on Long Island, the 25th of December, 1760."
After serving a lifetime of slavery, Hammon wrote his "Address to the Negroes of the State of New York", also known as the "Hammon Address" On September 24, 1786. While he expressed empathy for the enslaved, he held that slaves should be content with their lives as it is the will of God. He taught that slaves should live accordingly on earth as there is no reproach in heaven because of their suffering.
Based on his earlier writings, the newfound piece of literature shines a very different light on Hammon's view of slavery. Professor May contends that there remains one lost poem of Hammons.
There is no record of his death, but Hammon died around 1806 and was buried on the Lloyd land in an unmarked grave.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 6:50 PM GMT on July 23, 2005
Franklin is maintaining itself as a small tropical storm just below hurricane strength. The latest Hurricane Hunter center fixes at 11am and 1:15pm EDT found central pressures of 1002 and 1003 mb, respectively. Maximum winds remained just below hurricane force on both penetrations, and the storm is continuing its NE motion out to sea. The trough that is steering it out to sea may also begin shearing the storm and weakening it 1 - 2 days from now. As NHC hurricane specialist Dr. James Franklin noted in his 5am discussion today, "It is quite possible that little or nothing will be left of Franklin..the storm, not the forecaster...in 2 - 3 days." For now, there is no threat to land from Franklin, and Dr. Franklin will have to wait until his namesake storm's name gets recycled six years from now to get a major hurricane named Franklin.
The tropical wave that crossed the Yucatan last night was slow to develop today, and the Hurricane Hunter mission scheduled to investigate was cancelled. However, the wave has now developed a circulation center in the far southern Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico, near 19N. Deep convection has increased around this circulation center, especially to the southeast. Upper level winds continue to be favorable for development, and it is likely that Tropical Depression 7 will exist by 5am Sunday. The storm doesn't have much room to maneuver in the Bay, and will probably come ashore on the Mexican coast Monday between Veracruz and Tampico before it has a chance to become a hurricane.
Looking out over the far tropical Atlantic, the disturbance that I discussed yesterday that was approaching Venezuela is now gone, destroyed by interaction with South America. The ITCZ--the zone of deep convective storms that forms where the northeasterly trade winds from the Northern Hemisphere collide with the southeasterly trade winds from the Southern Hemisphere--continues to be very active for this time of year, and the image above shows a large tropical wave in the center of the ocean we may want to watch over the next few days. The GFS computer model suggests that wind shear is now too high to allow development of this wave, but once the wave approaches the Bahamas next Saturday, wind shear might lessen. However, my guess is that the large amount of dry air in the tropics right now associated with the Saharan dust we see on the image will act to discourage any tropical storm formation from this wave.

|Information at IDEAS / RePEc
Victor Robert Fuchs (born 1924) is an American health economist. He has been called "the dean of health economists" by New York Times economics columnist David Leonhardt.[1]
He is the Henry J. Kaiser, Jr. Professor at Stanford University, emeritus.[2] Since 1962, he has been a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and is the co-director of the FRESH-Thinking Project, CASBS, at Stanford University.[3] Fuchs was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1982,[4] and to the American Philosophical Society in 1990. In 1995, he served as president of the American Economic Association.[5]
A Comparison Between the United States and Canada[edit]
Also, Fuchs published a paper with James S. Hahn in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled "How Does Canada Do it? – A comparison of Expenditures for Physicians' Services in the United States and Canada". This paper discusses the differences in the Canadian and US healthcare spending patterns and also discusses why healthcare expenditures are so much higher in the United States. They found that the higher US expenditures were entirely based on higher fees for services, at 234% higher than Canada, even though there are more physicians per capita in Canada. This proves that the typical view of Canada saving money by delivering fewer services is false, and that the insurance setup, being a single-payer system, is what gives them the edge.[6]
This empirical analysis published in 1990 sharpened our understanding of the differences in physicians' services between the United States and Canada regarding fees, spending, and utilization. The accentuating difference begins with the disparity in health care coverage; Canada operates under a universal health care system, which covers majority of their residents. On the other hand, the United States operates under a fragmented multi-payer system that inevitably fails to provide coverage for many Americans.[7] Moreover, the lack of correspondence between both countries regarding health care coverage validates part of the narrative reported in the Fuchs and Hahn study, which concluded that the US spent more on physicians' services than Canada.[6]
Health care coverage in Canada provides more services at lower costs by virtue of negotiated physician fees between physician organizations and the provincial governments, as well as other limits placed on spending.[8] Furthermore, the results from this study also suggest that higher expenditures in the US is a function of many factors including higher wages earned by US physicians, the difference of physicians on demand, billing costs, quality of health care, physicians' workload, and superfluous amenities. Notably, these factors bring to question the underlying differences in health care delivery, in which the authors reported a larger number of general practitioners in Canada for visits per capita. The limited role of general practitioners in the US compared to Canada may imply that Canadian physicians are "more inclined to recommend additional evaluation and management services."[6]
The lower quantity of physician services per capita coupled with higher expenditures is an example of the fundamental inefficiencies embedded within the fragmented multi-payer health care system in the US.[8] Thus a concerted effort to reform these inefficiencies has been made by the US government, which resulted in the adoption of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a noteworthy addition to the health care system since the passage of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. The advent of this key piece of legislation is shifting the payment of care in the US from the inefficiencies of fee-for-service to payment models grounded on improved outcomes and lower health care spending.[9] Specifically, some of these models reduce costs through a team-based approach known as a medical home, which are often led by a general practitioner. Furthermore, congress is currently working on a "permanent doc fix" to control Medicare spending on physician services, also known as the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR).[10] Since the publication of the Fuchs and Hahn article in 1990, important changes in health care policy have taken place, the outcome of these policy changes have the potential to resolve the exorbitant expenditures for physicians' services in the US.

Hi. The WordPress SEO by YOAST section in posts and pages edit mode is not available. When the drop down arrow is clicked nothing happens. So, I cannot enter meta description or focus keywords in newly created pages/posts since wordpress update. SEO icon is gray in all new pages/posts from PAGES/POSTS view. As for the preexisting pages/posts, the SEO icon is fine but I cannot edit the meta description or focus keywords on account of the WordPress SEO by YOAST section being unavailable.
Please advise on this as I am adding new posts.
