PINK GLOVES

I was in the Grand Canyon and about to go on a run. It was cold outside and beginning to snow, and all I had for my hands were a pair of pink gloves that belonged to my Wife. I thought to myself something like, "What will people think?," and for a second I thought I wouldn't wear any gloves. Then my senses came back and I realized, if I was going to run, I had better where those gloves if I knew what was good for me. So I did. I laughed a little about the thought of what people might think, which felt good.

Well...I don't think people thought much at all about it. If they did, it turns out it doesn't matter too much. It matters more that we do what we know we need to do, in this case avoiding frostbite. How many times have You not done something, or done something different than you wanted to because of the same thought process? Here's what I recommend now. If it is good to do and your afraid, do it for sure. It will probably make you laugh at yourself, and it will stretch your comfort zone, making other things easier to do, which will contribute to more relaxation and better health.

Since the first time I have went running with those gloves on many occasions. I have laughed at myself a little and sometimes I have been fortunate enough to catch someone laughing at me!

Dreaming Again

What excites you? This might be the question that needs answering the most, for many of us. This question has been posed by Tim Ferris, in his book, The Four Hour Workweek. In it he asks the question, "What is the opposite of Happiness?" The answer, he gives is boredom. This insight has helped me to search out the things that make me excited, which Tim stated was a more appropriate synonym for happiness.
Brilliance, light shining in the darkness, illuminating the passage back to a path once forgotten. I don't use the word bored to describe how I feel, rather feeling, not saying, I was feeling apathetic, like it wasn't important, whatever it might be, that truly creates joy for me. I can't say I am happy all of the time, but I am excited again, and that is something like living, being alive, doing what excites me.
This would mean nothing, if it were not for you. Go out to live again if your not, dream a little, and who knows? Maybe life can be beautiful and you will find that joy you once lost, always hoped for, or thought was only a fairytale. Amen

B6 Patent Inspires Revolution

It seems the time of the people has come. I recently wrote this declaration in response to an article I read about vitamin B6 being patented. Interestingly enough, I have found a declaration that states further what I wanted to say, by the author Mike Adams of Natural News. The great thing about his declaration is that it comes with a petition to sign for real change. I have added the link at the end of this blog for those who would like to read or sign it. The following is my own declaration.

Vitamin B6 patent by drug company inspires New Law by the People

Recently, the vitamin B6 form called pyridoxamine dihydrochloride was officially granted drug status by the FDA after its’ approved patent, applied for by a pharmaceutical company. This is a form of vitamin B6 that occurs in foods. This is illegal according to the law of the land and also to the bible.

Before you discount this reading because of the bible message, read it out. This law can be found in your heart as well. I now quote the bible’s law regarding plants and fruits. “Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—every thing that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.”

Based upon this law alone, we the people of the world do declare this law to super cede any other law around food. We also declare ourselves independent of any organization or government agency, that would make any law or rule, which limits us the people from participating in this first law in anyway. This includes but is not limited to any pharmaceutical company, drug agency, or any government agency. Any patent on anything in life, that occurs in food, or the environment otherwise, we declare null and void.

In response to the oppression of the people, by means such as forcing vaccinations, or limiting our right to use plants for food or health, we hereby claim these organizations to be criminal and illegal. We may do whatever we choose to defend ourselves from any such organization, that would try to force upon us, anything, or sensor any healthful information, for it’s own gain or control.

The people will now rule and this law tells of our independence as thankful members of our earth.

Success with Natural Remedies

The term natural remedies has become popular in the world we live in today. Some people prefer natural remedies to traditional western medicine while others think natural remedies are the only way to go. Other groups of people think anything centered around natural remedies is quackery and others still have come to appreciate a mix of different types of healing. I have come to dispel the confusion around this issue. Get ready to hear the truth.

For many years, on my own, I have been a seeker of ways to help my self and take responsibility for my own health. Sometimes with radical disregard and distrust of our own medical system. I have come to appreciate the need for modern medical doctors, and feel confident in saying, I think it's a good idea to be able to see this issue from many different angles. In the cases of physical trauma or surgery, I trust the doctors for their expertise 100 %. Even the drugs used in such cases are, for the most part, absolutely necessary and even life saving. I also appreciate the opinions of open minded medical doctors, to aid us with a more complete understanding, so we can gain clarity in making choices about our health. Next is a personal story to help you in your own quest.

My Wife and I were in Hungary this summer with our little boy, who was about 9 months old at the time. He has been perfectly healthy, thank God, for all of his life, with the exception of a severe case of Eczema, with some complications resulting. The most concerning of these turned out to be a case of ringworm (or tinea corporis.) We read on the internet to see if there was any way we could treat it naturally. We found a couple of ideas that some people claimed they had success with, however we were still skeptical, because of the severity of the infection, which had started in the places where the eczema was worst, and was rapidly spreading all over his body. We decided we had to visit the Doctor, despite our skepticism of this approach.

The Dermatologist came highly recommended by my Wife's mom, who said she was one of the leading dermatologists in all of Hungary, and was also a friend of the family. We visited her and she confirmed it was ringworm and that she had the cure. We asked if there were any natural remedies, to which we received the response there were not. We were given a prescription for two creams, which we were told were safe and would eliminate the ringworm. She also told us that if we didn't use it the ringworm would only get worse, with more complications, and never go away. We walked away feeling a little disappointed and reluctantly went to the pharmacy, thinking we should get the prescription even though we were still unsure if we would use it.

At the pharmacy we paid for the creams. One of them was a steroid creme with a fungicide and the other some general moisture creme, which we were told was to be used after every bath. We were also told that this creme was perfectly safe and was routinely prescribed for all new born babies in Hungary. After reading the ingredients on this creme we immediately decided it was not going on our baby. We were still at the pharmacy and tried to return it and they would not refund us for it. We let them know they should give it to some one who wanted it and they declined to this as well. We left it on the counter and instructed them to please throw it in the trash for us, at which point we left without a refund. We still had the steroid fungicide creme, just in case.

We went to the health store and purchased some good colloidal silver, which we had read about and had hopes in, as an alternative to the creme. It took a lot of faith, but we decided to use it with some organic shea butter instead of the creme, thinking that if no improvement came in a short time we would resort to the doctor's creme. We were challenged by my wife's family, as they were skeptical of our methods, which made us all the more unsure of ourselves. We knew that we had practiced a lot of things that were not excepted by mainstream culture and believed those things were at least partly responsible for our own good health. We decided if we didn't trust ourselves this time it might create doubt about all of the things we were practicing for our health. You can probably see this was no small test of faith.

We applied the silver with the shea butter several times a day and also gave silver internally to our baby. We found a very high quality ionic silver with the smallest particle size that you can get a mineral into. This is important if for anyone thinking about using this method themselves. Within a few days we noticed some good changes. After a week we went back to the doctor at which point she told us the creme was working beautifully and to keep it up. At the request of my wife's mother we did not tell the doctor that we were not using the creme. To sum things up, the silver worked and the ringworm completely disappeared along with the eczema. Our baby is now 16 months old and has perfectly healthy skin. We never used the creme.

As with anything one does in their life I believe it is important that you educate yourself and take responsibility for your decisions. Don't trust me alone. Check with your doctor, and read and learn about these important subjects. I am not a doctor and respect the choices of others who might choose differently than I have. I am thankful however, that after seeing both sides of this issue that we trusted in ourselves, and the faith this has given us is beyond explanation. May you also have success and health in your journeys.

Shopping 101

Today I'm letting you in on one of my most valuable secrets. Valuable, as it may be, it is one of the simplest things anyone can do to help themselves, their loved ones and the planet. What is this simple secret? Well, of course it's reading ingredient lists of every single thing that you buy. I am certainly qualified to inform you of the importance, as I have practiced this discipline rigidly, and with great enjoyment, for most of my life.

One of the greatest riches in life is health. What we eat, drink, inhale or put on our bodies has a direct relationship to our health. Once you learn to read ingredients lists and nutrition facts you'll begin to gain great insight on many levels. Your eyes will be opened to the many unnecessary and sometimes outright dangerous things we put into our bodies on a daily basis. You will begin to understand the difference between quality products and companies and those out for the sole purpose of taking your money. You'll begin to see the differences in kinds of fats, and ratios of carbohydrates to proteins and fats. You will increase your overall understanding and awareness of health and the environment. Once you start on this journey you'll be compelled to find out what all of those things that you don't recognize on the lists are. Once you open that door your life will begin to take on new meaning.

It would be great if reading the ingredients were enough, however you'll need to go at least a step further to get the most out of this information. The greatest advice I can give you on what to do with this valuable information is to start buying the products that have only whole food ingredients in the foods you buy, with marginal exception, and the cleanest, most pure and environmentally friendly ingredients in the products that go on to your body, or get used by you for any other purpose.

Whole foods have the highest value for all of your nutritional requirements. Refining and processing can reduce nutritional values as well as change the way your body responds to the foods. A good example is refined sugar versus sucanat. Sucanat is dehydrated cane juice, which is minimally processed. It contains nutrients like phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Refined white sugar contains none of these and may contain chemicals like phosphoric acid, sulfer dioxide, and formic acid. White sugar is also more taxing on your adrenals and pancreas.

If you decide to buy pomegranate juice, look for the kind that has on it's ingredient list, organic pomegranate juice. You'll see there are many that appear to be just pomegranate juice, however after reading the label you find out the first ingredient is apple juice, the second grape juice, and so on. The amounts of the ingredients are always listed from the first being the most to the last being the least. These are just a couple of examples. We could go on and on, but we won't. So, what do you do?

Pay attention to what's in your food and eliminate all of those unnecessary ingredients. Buy organic whenever you can. Use mostly whole foods, consisting of vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Buy the household cosmetic, and hygiene products that are non toxic. Spread the word!

Magnesium

Magnesium may be the most important element for life on earth. Without magnesium there would be no plant life, because photosynthesis requires it. Magnesium is at the center of the chlorophyll molecule, which happens to be identical to hemoglobin, with the exception, that hemoglobin has iron at its center. It has been speculated that chlorophyll becomes hemoglobin when ingested into the body with the exchange of magnesium for iron at the center.

Magnesium is responsible for over 300 enzyme ion actions in the body. Without it our hearts could not beat. It is one of the most integral components of bones tissues and cells. It is necessary for the manufacturing of insulin and insulin helps get magnesium into our cells. Magnesium helps our cells to be more sensitive to insulin, which in turn lowers insulin resistance. This symbiotic relationship shows us a direct connection between diabetes and magnesium deficiency.

Magnesium is needed in synthesizing cholesterol, which is part of many other hormones. Cell division requires magnesium as well. The removal of toxins and acid residues from cells depends on magnesium, which keeps us from rapidly aging.

Dr. Mark A. Sircus Ac., OMD states that for cardiac arrest stroke or panic attack magnesium chloride should be the very first thing administered. On the website, magnesiumforlife.com he also states that, transdermally applied, it has health benefits unequalled in the entire world of medicine, and for people who are deficient it’s benefits are nothing short of a miracle.

Magnesium defends cells against mercury as well as cadmium, aluminum, beryllium and lead. In medical science it has shown to be helpful in almost all disorders including cancer. One study showed higher magnesium intake associated with a lower risk of colon cancer. It has also been found at a specialized cancer center that 46% of the patients admitted had abnormally low levels of serum magnesium. You can read in depth about these subjects in Dr. Mark A Sircus’s article, Magnesium and Cancer.

Some of the benefits of using magnesium chloride internally or through the skin are the strengthening of teeth, gums, bones and all of your tissues, helping you to relax, better bone mineralization and improved muscle contraction and relaxation. It is necessary for the utilization of calcium and increases the bioavailability of other nutrients from foods. Magnesium forms hard tooth enamel with more resistance to decay. The average person has 1% magnesium phosphate in their teeth. Elephant’s tusks have about 2%, which billiard balls are made from, and carnivorous animals teeth are made up of about 5%, accounting for their ability to crush bones with them. In a very pure form magnesium chloride can be used as a mouth rinse and then swallowed.

Sings of Magnesium deficiency include but are not limited to Diabetes, Hypoglycemia, nervousness, hyperactivity, muscle weakness, muscle cramps and spasms, back pain, migraines, kidney stones, and Attention Deficit Disorder.

Some foods you can get more magnesium from are kelp, raw almonds, whole grain cereals, sesame seeds, chlorella, green peas, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, quinoa, spinach, cashews, soy beans, pine nuts, white beans, black beans, beet greens, avocados, bananas, black berries, kiwis and watermelon. Organic Cacao Powder is also very high in Magnesium, but it's also very addicting so consume it at your own risk. There are other sources as well.

Magnesium chloride is the very best form of magnesium to take as a supplement. Just Organics has one of the best forms for internal use in its purest form. The one we carry is manufactured by Eidon Ionic Minerals and will be made available at a discount through Just Organics. For transdermal use we are going to be carrying another product that you can apply directly to your skin or use in a bath. I haven’t tried this yet, however I’ve heard it can eliminate stress and make aches and pains go away. Sounds good to me.

You should not use magnesium supplements if your heart rate is extremely low or if you have kidney failure.

Goji Berries

Goji Berries are one of the most amazing foods on the planet. In Chinese medicine they are revered as one of the most important food herbs. Some of their traditional uses were for eye, liver, and kidney support, to strengthen the immune system, to help restore energy and stamina, and treating insomnia.

Goji berries contain 21 trace minerals including calcium, zinc, iron, copper, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus. They are the richest source of caretenoids, including beta-carotene, of any plant on earth. They are second only to the camu camu berry in vitamin C, containing 500 times more than oranges by weight.

Goji berries also contain polysaccharides, which stimulate the body to produce inerleuken-2 and interferon, which are connected to anti-inflammation and immune responses. The berries are also the only known food to help the body produce more HGH naturally. Decreasing levels of HGH in the body are associated with aging.

Last but certainly not least Goji Berries taste good. Some say the taste is between a cranberry and a cherry.
