The
Natural Solutions Foundation
(NSF) is an
international NGO (Non Governmental Organization) founded in 2004 by
Maj Gen Bert Stubblebine (US Army, ret) and his wife, Dr Rima E Laibow,
MD. NSF
is
focused on comprehensive health solutions and access, including the
primary
importance of access to clean, unadulterated food within the context of
functional social systems. We are a not for profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt
organization in the United States and are active and registered in
several
countries. The Mission of the
Foundation is to discover, develop,
document,
demonstrate and disseminate natural solutions to the impediment
surrounding health
and food coupled with achieving and maintaining a healthy self,
community and
world.
Since
its founding, the Natural
Solutions
Foundation has pursued a vigorous program on many fronts, including
natural
solutions to significant social problems centering around access and
human
rights focusing on food, information and technology
dissemination
and the
resultant increased personal and community wellness.
The
International Decade of Nutrition
is an
expression and deepening of an alliance among Health Conscious Nations
expressed through international cooperation at Codex Alimentarius (the
World
Food Code) and the creation of demonstration BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic,
Zero
Emissions - BO-BD-ZE™
,
ecologically sound communities and schools. These
facilities allow farmers to share high
impact, low technology natural solutions which permit economically and
environmentally sustainable, chemical free farming.
NSF
has formed a strategic alliance
with that Songhai
Foundation, in Porto Nuveau,
Valley
of the Moon Coffee is the first
Friendly
Food Certified™ food: Friendly to the Workers, Friendly to
the
Environment and
Friendly to the Consumer!
Discussions
with the Government of Panama are underway to make this a national
certification program as a step to internationalizing this way of
assuring
consumers that their health, and their values, are supported by
Friendly Food
Certified purchases.
The intent of Foundation is to marshal the intellectual and financial resources necessary to establish BeyondOrganic, BioDynamic, Zero Emission demonstration and teaching farm facilities in the Panama Highlands and in Benin, to start. We have two properties in Panama and a third in process (working in close cooperation with MITA, the Panamanian government organics program), while in Benin we have a cooperative relationship with Fr. Godfrey's UN Center of Excellence Songhai Community.
The overall Objective is to establish a national, regional and global training system to reclaim the production of clean, unadulterated food and natural health strategies.

v. Using Food to Prevent Disease
Consistent with the Natural
Solutions
Foundation's
breadth and width of vision, we seek to identify health and food issues
and
then find global, sustainable and practical solutions for them.
Hunger is a
health issue.
The World Health
Organization and Food and
Agriculture Organization define cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke,
diabetes and obesity as the preventable, epidemic, non communicable
diseases of
under-nutrition.
These diseases
represent the principle causes of morbidity and mortality in the
developed
world and, increasingly, in the developing world. Their incidence is
inversely
proportional to the suitability and availability of high quality,
nutrient
dense foods which are free of anti-nutrients and ,
Sustainable
agriculture supports not only the
bodies of the consumers who eat its fruits (literally), but the
communities
which produce it, the environment which supports it and the economies
which
depend upon it. With the increasing (and increasingly destructive)
industrialization of the global food supply, farmers are being driven
off the
land to the cities where they become part of the urban abjectly poor,
food
stocks are increasingly degraded through chemical and industrial
agricultural
techniques and uses... Biotechnology, chemical inputs,
synthetic fertilizers and GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) render
food,
consumers and the environment increasingly toxic on both a short and
long term
basis.
The personal and economic
costs of this
toxification
are enormous and preventable through our integrated approach to
reclaiming the
production of clean, local food and utilizing safe, effective, natural
methods
of treatment and prevention.
SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE IS A HEALTH SOLUITON
Sustainable agriculture
is the natural
solution to several
problems at the same time.
Through a
unified effort approach solving hunger, under nutrition and
environmental
contamination is therefore a uniquely suitable approach for the Natural
Solutions Foundation which seeks to find and apply effective solutions
to
complex problems through finding "lever points" which will impact the
entire matrix in which the problem(s) is/are embedded.
Sustainable agriculture
can be
disseminated through a
variety of strategies.
Reducing and
eliminating toxic agricultural inputs and replacing them with low cost,
sustainable, intuitive production methods will increase crop
production,
quality and profit for farmers and others in the food chain. At
the same time, the social, economic and
community-wide costs of food-related illnesses, including cancer, heart
disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity, will be sharply reduced.
Effective sustainable
agriculture programs
for both farmers
and non-farmers (e.g., Intensive Urban Agriculture™)
Through our extensive
contacts with
decision makers in the
developing world, including on-site visits to agriculturally challenged
countries, we have learned that stabilizing social forces and improving
agriculture are related. Therefore, in addition to the emphasis on
nutrients
and supplemental nutrition, both very important additions to the
campaign for
improving world health and eliminating preventable diseases, we have
added a
focus to our International Decade of Nutrition - IDN - program which
can create
sustainable farms and farm schools around the world.
By creating a network of
such farm/farm
school projects,
including those we initiate and best-practices extant programs like
Songhai
Center, the International Decade of Nutrition can impact agricultural
practices
and, through them, health standards and health status on a global
basis, as
initially conceived in the International Decade of Nutrition at its
inauguration.
The Natural Solutions Foundation is a uniquely dynamic organization in a constant state of productive evolution. As we uncover and discover problems which are either being approached through poor solution techniques (e. g, "health" care which promotes illness through the use of toxic drugs when natural, safe, effective, gentle and inexpensive treatments exist, Genetic Modification of food, petrochemical input agriculture) or are not being approached at all (e.g., national options for higher quality food than provided by international standards to support health without costly "treatment" strategies... we incorporate them into our programs, refining and redesigning our activities to increase our reach and our impact in local and global arenas.

1. The Natural Solutions Wellness Clinic, Volcan, Panama
Directed by Dr. Laibow, the Clinic is housed in the Wellness and Seminar Building on the beautifully landscaped Headquarters Finca. Click Here for the Clinic Integrative Health Plan. Our intent is to combine a charitable community clinic for the local population with an advanced healthcare facility for the international wellness travellor, so that the most advanced approaches can be made available for those who can least afford such wellness counselling. The Seminar Program includes instruction for local and other healthcare workers in advanced healthcare techniques.
2. The Valley of the Moon All Natural Coffee Finca
This 22 acre parcel in Santa Clara is owned by the Panama Foundation's Natural Solutions Corp. Half the land is in its natural state and half is planted with all natural coffee. The site is used to demonstrate natural solutions to such issues as fungus and pest control. The coffiee is used in the Foundation's fund raising efforts. See: www.ValleyoftheMoonCoffee.org
3. Songhai Community Agriculture Experiment Station
Led by our Beyond Organic, BioDynamic, Zero Emissions mentor, Fr. Godfrey, this United Nations Center of Excellence community is working closely with the Foundation to discover, document, develop and dissemniate natural solutions to common farming issues in Developing Countries.
4. The Chiriquí Province Organic Homeland Project
In cooperation with the Office of the Governor of the Province, the Foundation has begun a series of educational programs in local high schools centering on the use of intenstive urban "square foot" gardening.

The
International Decade of Nutrition
The International Decade of Nutrition was inaugurated on September 5, 2007. Here is the account we published on that day to mark the beginning of this ambitious and innovative program.
-----------------------------------
September 5, 2006 — Today is the first day of the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Decade of World Nutrition. We issued a press release announcing this innovation in world health today. By September 5, 2016 our goal is to make DSHEA (the Dietary Supplement health and Education Act of 1994) the global standard for dietary supplements. Nutrients will be treated as foods, not toxins, all over the world. Enhanced nutrient density in foods and dietary supplementation, chemical free farming, and foods free from irradiation and genetic modification can eliminate the global scourge of the preventable diseases of under nutrition. According to the World Health Organization they include:
What prevents the diseases of under
nutrition?
Nutrients.
What therapy "treats and cures" the diseases
of under
nutrition?
Nutrients.
Here in the US we have a magnificent tool to help end world hunger and promote world health. Let’s make a gift of that tool to the rest of the world.
The Natural Solutions Foundation is spearheading this effort with your help and participation. Poverty, poor education, de-mineralized soil, nutrient-depleted, prepared “McFood”, toxins, poor storage and transportation infrastructure, war and famine all help to create under-nutrition. Dietary supplements (including herbs) can help eliminate it. Cheap, efficient, effective and easy to use, supplements are crucial to ending world hunger and promoting world health.
Ending world hunger and promoting world health in a decade may just be so simple it hurts and so easy it sings! Give high doses of good quality nutrients. Classify them as foods, not toxins. Make high potency, high nutrient-density supplements easily and readily available. In other words, make DSHEA the world standard for dietary supplements. That means spreading the word about the “Codex 2 Step”. That’s why we visit countries in Africa and Asia where the preventable diseases of under nutrition account, according to the World Health Organization, for more than 59% of the disease burden!
As a nutritional physician, I know that high potency, high quality nutrients (like the ones you can purchase through us — www.Organics4U.org) prevent and treat the major killers listed above (and many other diseases, too) efficiently, safely and inexpensively. The only reason that we have open, unrestricted access to high quality, high potency dietary supplements and herbs is because consumers like us made enough noise back in the 90’s when Congress was fixing to take away all of our nutrients (just like Codex Alimentarius -- the World Food Code -- is trying to do now).
We, the consumers, made so much noise that Congress backed way, way down, did an abrupt about-face and passed DSHEA, the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act, by unanimous Congressional consent! Every single member of Congress said, “Right! Your supplements and herbs are foods, not toxins. Since they are foods you can have as much of them as you want. You get to decide for yourself, not have your doses fixed by some distant bureaucrat.” That precious health freedom gives Americans life-saving natural health options that I depend upon for myself and my patients. I am sure you do, too.
The Codex Vitamin and Mineral Guideline, of course, goes in exactly the opposite direction, treating nutrients as toxins and telling countries they must restrict them to such low doses that they have no effect at all. That’s why we have offered alternatives for Health Conscious Nations.
Together we can change the global face of illness to the face of health in the next 10 years.
To bring DSHEA principles to the rest of the world, we have to deal with the deadly Codex Vitamin and Mineral Guideline. Working with innovative attorneys in the health field, we've developed the “Codex 2 Step” to bring the gift of DSHEA to the rest of the world. To accomplish this, they drafted a model Alternative Vitamin and Mineral Guideline and a model International Dietary Supplement Act, based on DSHEA, but even stronger, for Health Conscious Nations to adopt.
Please help us bring DSHEA to the world to end world hunger and promote world health by the end of the Decade of Nutrition in 2016!
You know that the Natural Solutions Foundation, with your help, has studied Codex and the World Trade Organization (WTO) long and hard. You know that with our outstanding team of lawyers and the Citizen’s Codex Working Group we have found the solution to Codex which any country can use to:
Codex is about food. Health is, in large measure about food. DSHEA is all about food. Codex says you can’t associate health benefits and food components. I say you can’t separate them!
Let’s take American nutrient know-how and use it to eliminate the preventable diseases of under nutrition.
We’ve got 10 years (minus 1 day) to do it.
Let’s get cooking!
Yours in health and freedom,
Rima E. Laibow, MD
Medical Director
