AFFORDABLE HOUSING HOMELESS ALLIANCE IN HALEIWA

Aloha. I've volunteered since December 18, 2009 and finally became official under Americorp. Houseless in Hawaii is an issue in Haleiwa and throughout the State of Hawaii. In Haleiwa, my agency service more Kanaka Maoli than any other race. Rgardless, we are in flux and may have to relocate if we do not find another site. Please send a prayer to AKUA so we may remain in Haleiwa to service clients.AHHA provides housing support and advocate for clients who need food, clothing, etc. In the midst of all challenges we face, houselesness does exist. What is the solution? Affordable housing is most likely, however even for myself, it cost to much. I would have to rent with another friend or more to cover cost.A friend was more to living on the 'aina rather than housing. Perhaps the choice of not paying for something is ideal, but when the vision of being houseless exist, it may be easier for a single male than a woman with children. Regardless, men are more likely to persist if chose this lifestyle, but the bottom line is that everything cost money and houselessness does exist and no easy solution.Would an expectation to live in a house to much to ask rather than camp? These are common questions raised everyday, yet others have no care or place to call home living on the beach. As for myself, I advocate in be half of clients and empower them to persist against all odds.If you have any suggestions or kokua, shoot a holler in "POST."namaka'eha

This will help me make better choices when I know what I'm up against - live a longer life!Have a nice day...namaka'eha

Scientists Warn Of Serious Health Consequences If Governments Don't Prioritise Natural FoodLeading scientists, including Dr Shiv Chopra, ex-Health Canada whistleblower, and Dr Robert Verkerk, from the Alliance for Natural Health, were among several speakers at last weekend's Total Health Show 2009 in Toronto to call for urgent reform of governmental policies on the global food supply.Dr Chopra stated that the removal of just 5 groups of products from the food supply, namely antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and pesticides, would transform the safety and sustainability of the food supply. These products, claimed Dr Chopra, were hazardous, in most cases unnecessary and offered relatively few long-term benefits. Their use, he said, was driven less by need and more by the profit motives of major corporations. Dr Chopra, while evaluating on behalf of Health Canada virtually every red-hot topic in public health for a period of some 35 years, ranging from vaccines, to drugs and GMOs, had also been largely responsible for preventing the Canadian population's exposure to recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) induced milk. He subsequently exposed corruption within Health Canada in his recent Canadian bestseller, 'Corrupt to the Core: Memoirs of a Health Canada Whistleblower' (KOS Publications, 2009).Dr Chopra's cynicism over the ability of governments to regulate the food supply in the best interests of the public was clearly evident when he said, "People have to take charge of their destiny, they cannot any longer rely on government".In his presentation "Our Right to Natural Health", Dr Robert Verkerk explained that in some parts of the world, including Canada and the European Union, fundamental human rights and freedoms were being abused by disproportionate legislation limiting consumer access to beneficial natural health products. "Natural health products are statistically the safest things we put in our mouths, being on average tens of times safer than foods and thousands of times safer than the average pharmaceutical drug. It makes no sense to develop ultra-restrictive regulations that stop those who choose to use safe, therapeutic natural health products from managing their health naturally".Shawn Buckley of Canada's Natural Health Products Protection Association warned consumers that they should expect to lose up to 85% of natural health products presently in Canadian health stores over the coming years. These losses, he said, were a direct consequence of full implementation of the existing Natural Health Product Regulations (2004). However, he also made clear that if proposed consumer protection laws (Bill C-6) were passed by parliament, enforcement powers of Health Canada, together with restrictions on further products, could damage the natural products industry in Canada irrevocably.Also attending the Total Health Show was Jeffrey Smith, long time anti-GMO campaigner and author of two best-selling books on the subject, 'Seeds of Deception' and 'Genetic Roulette: Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods', the latter of which documents 65 known health risks linked to the consumption of GM crops. During his six hours of lectures over the 3-day show, he argued that a rash of animal studies showing negative health effects of GM crops would be likely to be sufficient to create a world wide 'tipping point' against GM that would cause even major North American food suppliers to avoid genetically modified ingredients. This shift against GM, said Jeffrey Smith, would be assisted by continued resistance to GM foods by European consumers and health ministers.Mr Smith also warned that if governments, especially that of the USA, did not act quickly to ban the outdoor cultivation of GM crops, we would need to face serious and long term consequences caused by the unpredictable flow of modified genes into other organisms.Dr Shiv Chopra is the most recent appointee to the ANH's Expert Committee where his decades of experience as a government regulatory scientist-as well as his understanding of the way in which regulators are influenced against the public interest by the corporations-will be of great benefit to the ANH's wider campaign.

Nanakuli family's struggle now spans four generationsSunday, September 7, 2008By Will HooverAdvertiser Staff WriterMonica Bell is able to remain calm and cheerful even as her legs swell and ache, and she's feeling nauseous — frequent reminders of the diabetes that has laid waste to three generations of her family and taken hold of a fourth.Like many who feel fine early on despite having diabetes, Bell paid little heed to her illness after she was diagnosed 20 years ago.No more.Today, she's going blind and diabetes rules her very life."I get sick on a daily basis," said Bell. "It's a nasty disease. It's with me at all times. It never goes away. Every day it is a challenge."Her Hawaiian family has suffered profoundly because of diabetes, and to see what it has done to them is to witness the epidemic proportions the disease has reached on the Wai'anae Coast, where Bell and her family live on Mano Avenue in Nanakuli.The disease killed Monica's father, and several of his siblings. Her mother, whose kidney failure is a result of diabetes, spends four hours three times a week attached to a dialysis machine. All three of Monica's sisters have diabetes and take daily insulin injections, as do Monica and her mother.Monica's daughter, Taryn-Courtney Bell — TC to those who know her — was diagnosed with diabetes when she was only 6. At 13, she has been on insulin injections more than half her life. And last year Monica's son, Alika, 16, was also diagnosed with diabetes.As for Bell herself, diabetes has robbed her of the ability to drive, hold a job, walk easily, or ever again enjoy a sense of well-being. The vision in her right eye is gone, and although she still has limited sight in her left eye, she's unable to focus. Even the sight she has left could eventually fade."I do think about the future," she said. "And it is scary. I think you just have to get tight control on your diabetes. You probably can't get better. But you maybe can prevent it from getting worse."Household caretakerOf those who live in the Bell household, only Monica's husband, Gino, a truck driver, does not have diabetes. But the disease has affected his life all the same and rendered him the household caretaker."Gino does everything for me and our kids," said Monica, 38, who married Gino Bell in 1992. "He's just wonderful. He has things he likes to do — he fishes and surfs. But before he does anything, he makes sure that the family is doing well."He has altered his diet to meet the improving eating habits of his family. He dashes to the store on short notice at all hours. Since Monica can no longer see to drive, Gino juggles his work schedule and takes vacation days to accommodate various doctor and dialysis appointments, eye examinations, American Diabetes Association functions, or the diabetes classes his two children attend at the Kaiser Nanaikeola Clinic every month."I'm like the backbone," said Gino, 47, who has worked 17 years for a firm that subcontracts to the military. "I've saved up a lot of hours, so I can help out, taking them here and there."He says he is grateful to be able to do it.His pleasant disposition can be a calming influence on a family often straining simply to function, according to his wife.'Lot of starches'Monica's mother, Archidalia Kawa'a, 64, frets about her fellow Hawaiians who suffer in great numbers from the disease, yet tend to be the last and least to seek treatment, because of cultural pride, shame or a lack of health insurance. By the time many do reach out for medical assistance it's often too late, she says."Diabetes is terrible," said Kawa'a. "My husband, John, had both his legs amputated because of it. He died at 59. His mother died at 49. His father died at about 54. I have diabetes. All four of my daughters have diabetes, and my grandchildren have diabetes."Furthermore, those in the community who are diagnosed in time to make a difference frequently fail to heed doctors' warnings that they should exercise, eat healthy, and manage their sugar levels, she says. Since they don't feel ill or exhibit symptoms in the beginning, they are less inclined to work out or give up fast foods and snacks."It's a way of life in Hawai'i," she said. "That's how we eat since we were young — lot of starches."Monica Bell, for instance, wasn't especially bothered when she was diagnosed in 1988 as a senior at Nanakuli High and Intermediate School. She didn't know much about the disease, and although she was overweight, she considered herself generally fit.Her concern rose after her mother was diagnosed a short time later, she says. When her father became seriously ill in the late 1990s, "it opened my eyes to what diabetes is."Still, she didn't alter her habits. By the time her father died on Christmas Day in 2002, she could no longer see well enough to drive. The following year, because of her failing eyesight and debilitating nerve damage in her legs, Bell left her job and began collecting Social Security benefits.She is stoic about the outcome."It was my own fault. I never listened. But now I'm trying to do my best because I've got to help my kids out."For her the alarm bells rang loudest when her daughter was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the kind that has stricken the rest of the family and a form of the disease once associated with older adults."She was so young," she said. "Even the doctors were surprised."pushing healthy lifestyleA genetic susceptibility associated with type 2 diabetes can be triggered by behavioral factors such as obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. There is also evidence that diabetes may run in families, according to experts.Today, Monica worries that TC and Alika won't take diabetes seriously until they're suffering from the permanent or life-threatening effects.TC tends to eat too much and not the right foods, Monica says. Alika, who is lean and trim at 5 feet 10 and 155 pounds, doesn't eat enough of anything. And for the diabetic, eating too little can be as worrisome as pigging out on fries and double cheeseburgers.So their mother pushes them both to watch their diets and take their meds."I tell them, 'You don't want to end up like me.' "To that end, she and Gino encourage TC and Alika to attend two-hour interactive diabetes classes at Kaiser Permanente's Nanaikeola Clinic in Nanakuli, where a doctor, nurse practitioner, dietitian and behavior medicine specialist guide the Bell children and two other young diabetics through the various aspects of managing their disease.While the purpose is serious, the classes are low-pressure, light-hearted affairs in which the participants prepare healthy meals, compete on computer games aimed at diabetes education, and discuss useful ways of coping with their disease.The sessions include playful physical exercises, such as a vigorous match of balloon volleyball, or no-net ping pong waged across conference room tables shoved together. Invariably, these exercises culminate in raucous balloon popping or wild ping pong ball batting, but not before everyone — clinical staff included — has had a good workout.going for the veggiesThere are even encouraging signs that some of it may be achieving the desired effect. In a recent class, dietitian Justin Miyashiro watched as the kids whipped up a batch of healthy dill dip and served it with a platter of delicately prepared celery sticks, cut carrots, and sliced mushrooms and cucumbers.Not only did Alika polish off a plate of vegetables and dip, he quietly returned for seconds, which he also finished. Likewise, TC said she enjoyed the food — "Especially the mushrooms! I like them. We've got to get some of this stuff."As the class was winding down, Miyashiro threw the discussion open to suggestions for next month's healthy meal."Portuguese sausage with eggs," piped up Alika."Is that healthy?" wondered Miyashiro."OK," replied Alika, to the laughter of all present, "Portuguese sausage and eggs — with tofu."Reach Will Hoover at whoover@honoluluadvertiser.com.

E olu olu oe, e lohe mai kakou

I attended Jeffrey Smith's presentation on GMO food on Kauai on February 11th. I left the presentation ill. I mean literally physcially ill from the information presented. My stomach was twisted in knots and sore. I felt like throwing up. I went home and went straight to bed, unable to eat. I was so angry, so outraged that these GMO corporations have been allowed to contaminate the food supply of every unsuspecting citizen under the jurisdiction of the U.S.Under the administration of the first George Bush, GMO's have been pushed upon us without our knowledge or consent. Genetically modified organisms have been in our food suppy since 1996 and go undetected because these corporations haven't been required to label them. Watch the video "The World According to Monsanto" and you will have a better understanding of why this GMO giant has been able to get away with this. A revolving door exists between Monsanta and the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA is mandated to protect the consumer from unsafe food and drugs entering the market. They have been negligent in their job. Former attorney for Monsanto now heads the department in charge of developing FDA policy. GMO's have been determined to be as safe as non-GMO food under his watch. Intense political pressure by Monsanto and financial donations to important players in Congress and the White House, have kept the public in the dark.Japan has banned all GMO products from the U.S. including the Hawaiian Rainbow Papaya that was genetically engineered to be resistant to the ring-spot virus. Japan has said that they are waiting and watching for the affects of GMO's on America's children. They are not alone. Many European nations ban GMO's as well as a list of other nations.Look and see what diseases are on the rise that are affecting our keiki. Obesity and diabetes are two that come to mind. If you read the ingredients on processed foods you will find Corn Syrup, derived from GMO corn, in almost everything, but especially soda, fruit drinks, candy and fast food. There has been an unprecedented rise in Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) diagnosis and other disorders.I am focused on this issue because of the long term affects GMO's will have on the health and well being of our families. Now GMO proponents want to take the one pure food kanaka have, that has sustained our kupuna for generations and genetically engineer kalo. These corporations are targeting the food staples of the world such as corn and soy, and now kalo. They are trying to get patents on rice, wheat and other grains as well as countless other foods.It is important for Kanaka to educate ourselves, our families and our communities about the hidden dangers of GMO's. It is lurking everywhere. In every can, package or box of processed foods sold in our local grocery store, used in many of the restaurants we take our families to eat and worst of all, in the foods served our children in the school cafeteria's across the U.S.I urge everyone of you on Maoli World to read Jeffrey Smith's two best selling books "Seeds of Deception" and "Genetic Roulette". If it is hard for you to read than google Monsanto and GMO and you will find hundreds of thousands of hits. I do recommend watching the videos. It will blow you away the way these seed corporations target small farmers and put them out of business. It is the goal of these corporations to patent and own all of the seed supply in the world. The greed and dispicability of these organziations are beyond imaginable. And the American media has been silenced by the power they wield which is why we are uninformed.Former sugar cane lands owned by the Big Five are now coming into the hands of these GMO corporations on Kauai. Prime ag land is being used to field test these organisms all the while unsuspecting residents living nearby have no clue of the hidden dangers. We are being used as guinea pigs, without our knowledge or consent and this is what is called the "land of the free"? Just one more way to kill us off. In fact, a Monsanto employee told one of their scientists who had become aware of safety issues but was forbidden to reveal it, just look at it this way, maybe we are solving the over-population problem. One other fact to piss you off, Monsanto doesn't serve any GMO's in their employee cafeteria. Why? Because they have the knowledge of the dangers that they keep hidden from Joe Public, while they protect themselves from these dangers.So Kanaka Maoli, information is power. Educate yourselves, your families and your communities and refuse to buy GMO products. Take the power away from Monsanto, Syngenta and Pioneer. Go back to your natural diets of poi, uala, lu'au, fish and limu as much as possible. These are the foods that kept our ancestors healthy and strong and these are the diets we must go back to if we are to remain strong. I know that is asking a lot since so much of our aina is urbanized and our lo'i and loko i'a destroyed. We need to reclaim them, repair them and bring them back to functioning systems as part of our effort of reclaiming our independence.Aloha aina,Miliaulani
