Our daily actions can increase or decrease the impact on our earth - we have personal meters running at all times. What we use, what we leave behind can be calculated as our cost to the earth. The good news is, it's never too late to make a difference. For instance, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4,800 pounds per year just by recycling the aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic, cardboard and newspaper we use.

Cold/Flu Therapy

2007-04-11T04:52:00.000-07:00

***Update 16/4/2007 The person on whom this therapy was done told me that he usually spends about 2 weeks under the flu each year when he gets it. This therapy was started on Saturday afternoon. By monday most symptoms were gone and by Wednesday the last of the out of balance feeling was gone.

Cold/Flu symptoms can easily be gone in 24-48 hours following intense herbal/natural therapy. There are many different ways to approach cold/flu that work, depending on the resources you have available at the time. Below is a program I used this weekend (minus step 5 and the dosages of 1 and 2 were less frequent - regulate frequency based on intensity of illness and reaction of person in therapy) on an adult with mild flu symptoms with intense sore throat and mucous discharge. Sore throat was completely gone in 8 hours, all symptoms gone in 32 hours.

Asterisks are therapies that were not included but that I would have included if the flu/cold was more intense than mild.

1) 1 tsp raw honey with 5 drops lemon essential oil once every 2 hours
***add half clove minced garlic and a pinch of cayenne pepper and increase frequency to once every hour (also in case of strep throat)

2) 15 drops alcohol tincture of propoli directly into the throat once every 2 hours

3) Raindrop technique

4) Diffuse essential oils of cinnamon, lemon, eucalyptus, clove (I used Young Living blends Purification and Theives together. In case of chest congestion/cough, use their RC blend) in a non-heat diffuser.

5) Aid Fever:
Hot bath (at least 40 degrees C) for 45 minutes, finish with cold shower for 1 minute then wrap body from head to foot and stay in bed at least 2 hours if not the night. While in the bath drink plenty of the tea described in number 6.
***Cold sheet treatment

6) Tea: Licorice root (immune stimulant, liver protection, soothes mucus membranes), mint (general system stimulant), yarrow (encourages sweating) and elder flower (anti-viral). Drink from 3-6 cups daily.

7) The person I was working with ate only with appetite, which was very little. This is ideal and the general rule is in mild cases remove all dairy and simple sugars (except the honey therapy), in more extreme cases only ingest vegetable juices or in most extreme cases only water in addition to the tea.

8) Lots of rest!

Required Cervical Cancer Vaccinations

2007-01-31T02:47:00.000-08:00

Controversial New Bill Would Require All Girls Under 13 to Receive Cervical Cancer Vaccination

Under a bill introduced by the D.C. Council this week, female students enrolling in the sixth grade would be asked to show proof of receiving the new nationally debated vaccine against cervical cancer. If the bill passes, the District would be one of the first jurisdictions in the country to require girls younger than 13 years old to be vaccinated for HPV.

The following is excerpted from Nikita Stewart and Rob Stein’s article in the January 10th, 2007 Washington Post:

A parent or legal guardian would have the right to “opt out” of the requirement, Catania said, but the bill does not detail under what circumstances exemptions would be permitted.

Similar proposals are pending in Kentucky and California, and several other states are also considering such legislation. A bill to require the vaccine failed last year in Michigan.

Go Keith Olberman, and Cheney's Panic

2007-01-16T12:33:00.000-08:00

Go Keith Olberman
(video at truthout.org)

Cheney’s panic is so blatantly obvious

What a wonderful turn of events in the uncovering of truth. Cheney himself has gone into such a state of panic that his latest response to Congress’s opposition to sending more troops to Iraq is showing more closely his true, soiled, colors.

He declared Hitler style that Bush is the only one who should have say in what happens in Iraq, there is no room for democracy in the matter, and that congress should just put up and shut up. Below are 2 quotes from today’s CNN article for your perusal:

"’The president is the commander in chief. He's the one who has to make these tough decisions,’ Cheney said.” (Never mind that the American people just screamed at the top of their lungs last November that they do not approve of Bush’s approach to the Iraq war – yet Bush blunders on with it)

"’He's the guy who's got to decide how to use the force and where to deploy the force,’ Cheney said. ‘And Congress obviously has to support the effort through the power of the purse. So they've got a role to play, and we certainly recognize that. But you also cannot run a war by committee.’"

Then he proceeds to lure Iran and Syria into our warring sights (as if it wasn’t already clear enough their next victims) by declaring the war in Iraq “an existential conflict”.

"’This is an existential conflict,’ Cheney said. ‘It is the kind of conflict that's going to drive our policy and our government for the next 20 or 30 or 40 years. We have to prevail and we have to have the stomach for the fight long term.’"

“The White House also said Sunday that Iranians are aiding the insurgency in Iraq and the U.S. has the authority to pursue them because they ‘put our people at risk.’"

Existential conflict? What the hell does that mean? Is he referring to his twisted, yet now transparent, plee that the US is bringing freedom to the middle east? Notice how he uses this to segway into his plan of involving the US in conflicts like this for the next 20 – 40 years. Existential indeed. God is dead. And we have killed him.

Personally I’m thrilled to see such panic from Cheney. And yet I’m also afraid. Alert to the possibilities of an American populous that will not allow Bush and Cheney to wield the country as their subservient sword in the battle to take over the world. How will the American people respond to Bush’s boldface rejection?

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it?

Help Stop the Next Wolf Massacre

2007-01-13T09:45:00.000-08:00

Help Stop the Next Wolf Massacre

Soon, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to release a proposal to strip wolves of crucial Endangered Species Act protections across most of Wyoming and de-list wolves in Idaho, where the state is poised to kill up to 75% of the wolves living in the Lolo district of the Clearwater National Forest.

This proposal could allow the use of aerial gunning and other lethal control methods to kill as many as two-thirds of the wolves in Wyoming and as many as 54 of Idaho’s 65 wolf packs!

Help stop the massacre! Fill out the form below to urge the head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Dale Hall, to maintain federal protections for gray wolves.

~~~~

My addition to the given form letter.

A form letter comes with this message, which I agree with, that has been provided to those wishing to encourage the salvaging of wolf populations in the Rockies. I am leaving that form letter at the bottom of my own comments on the issue. Thank you.~

As humans responsible for our earth environment, are we nurturing our planet and it's animals with our daily actions and creation of new legislation and planning? Are we putting the long term good of the whole of humanity and planet earth before our immediate, short term needs?

Currently we humans are witnessing changes in the planet that are likely related to our past mismanagement of resources: global warming, the death of rain forests, extinction of species at a rate never before seen, and polluted water, air and land. Not only is the planet suffering and the weather changing, but humans and animals are experiencing increased disease, deformations and malnutrition as a result.

Scientists have recently warned that if we do not change our current way of caring for the oceans, seafood may be gone by 2048. (Seafood May Be Gone by 2048, Study Says: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/11/061102-seafood-threat.html ) In this National Geographic article the interviewed scientist Boris Worm is quoted as saying "Biodiversity is a finite resource, and we are going to end up with nothing left ... if nothing changes". Biodiversity - whether in the ocean, the Great Plains of the American Midwest, the thick pine forests of the Rockies, the desert of the American Southwest - is key to maintaining a healthy environment on each of those local scales.

The US fish and wildlife services no doubt have the best interests of the environment and animals in mind when taking wolves off of the endangered species list. The states' reaction to this change in status is worrisome, with Idaho and Wyoming planning to kill large portions of this population in some areas. My next paragraph is addressed to those states and the planning committees creating this plan of attack on wolves.

Are we creating new regulations that protect this biodiversity in our own local environments? Are we changing how we do business in order that we can maintain biodiversity and nurture our local piece of the planet? It's time that we make radical changes, and sacrifices if need be, in the short term in order to participate in bringing our planet back in the long term. Planet earth is currently doing its best to demand we give her high priority. Science has verified the current state of environmental emergency. Why is this not our highest priority? If it were, how would we comport ourselves on a daily basis - in our homes and in our government decisions? If it were, how would drastic decrease in the wolf population in the Rockies fit into this? Finding ourselves without a viable home has suddenly become a short term possibility. Plans to kill large portions of any animal population contribute to radical change in ecosystems - increasing the rate and likelihood that our local environment, and then our planet, will eventually become unliveable. Let us create wildlife plans and business plans that continually nuorish our habitat, allowing the human race and the earth to survive and thrive.

Next Solar Cycle May Be Largest Ever Recorded
12-Jan-2007

Predicted solar cycle
We have reported before that the upcoming 2010-2011 solar cycle is expected to be large. Now, continuing studies of the sun have led solar scientists to predict that it may turn out to be the largest ever recorded. Sunspot cycles have been recorded since the time of Galileo, and four of the five largest ever seen have been recorded in the past 50 years. Solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center explains that the current level of geomagnetic activity tells us what the solar cycle will be like in 6 to 8 years, and current levels of activity indicate that the next cycle will be extremely strong. The reason that this correlation would exist is not known, but the statistics are clear: it does work, and has show consistency using data going back to 1868.

Most compelling of all, believes Hathaway, is the work of Mausumi Dikpati and colleagues at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado. As previously reported by Unknowncountry.com, they have analyzed observations of the movement of the interior of the sun against a computer model that also predicts an extremely intense upcoming solar cycle.

There is a great deal of interest presently in the fact that an ancient Mayan calendar identifies December 21, 2012 as the end of the age. While there is no evidence that the sun is going to explode then or anytime remotely soon, it looks as if it will be quite active immediately prior to that date.

US to approve cloned meat
Lack of variety is the spice of life

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will declare today that meat from cloned animals is safe to eat.

A safety assessment released on Thursday is expected to approve the entry of products from genetically identical cattle and other livestock into the human food chain.

The FDA indicated which way the wind was blowing back in 2005. Now an article published by its scientists in the journal Theriogenology dated January 1 forms the scientific basis of the approval. Larisa Rudenko and John C Matheson wrote: "[The FDA] concludes that meat and milk from clones and their progeny is as safe to eat as corresponding products derived from animals produced using contemporary agricultural practices".

The pair said no special labelling of cloned meat would be needed, which has outraged some consumer groups. AP reports Joseph Mendelson, legal director of the Centre for Food Safety, said: "Consumers are going to be having a product that has potential safety issues and has a whole load of ethical issues tied to it, without any labelling."

It's a Janis Joplin kind of month

The Rose - Janis Joplin

Some say love, it is a river,
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor,
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
that never, learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
that never, takes the chance.
It's the one, who won't be taken,
who cannot, seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying,
that never, learns to live.

When the night has, been too lonley,
and the road has been too long.
That you think that love is only,
for the lucky and the strong.

Just remember in the winter,
far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed that with the suns love,
in the spring becomes the rose.

Free Will

2006-08-18T07:07:00.000-07:00

The moral before the story: Free Will is an illusion as long as the person is not aware of all the ingrained mind loops and programming - or any other factor - that cause one to make a particular choice.

(a short excerpt from a long, well-worth reading article at cassiopaea.org - Stripped to the Bone
or
The Shamanic Initiation
of the The Knighted Ones:
Technicians of Ecstasy)
There are other definitions of Free Will that are interesting to speculate about. I am not going to engage in a lengthy monologue on the views of the philosophers because, even though some of them are quite fascinating and really make you think, that would be counterproductive to the issue at hand here.

The short version is that Hobbes and Tolstoy suggest that we are free insofar as we may do as we wish "without hindrance or constraint." Locke and Hume extended Hobbes's "freedom to do without restriction" to "the power to do or not as one wills." Spinoza's view was that we are free "insofar as we alone determine our behavior." We are not free when others dictate or hamper our decisions, or for reasons of illness or incapacity we cannot determine our actions.

When we consider "being able to do what we choose without hindrance or restraint," and defining Free Will in this way, we have to then consider not only whether our free will conflicts with the free will of others, but also whether our free will itself may be less free because of unconscious psychological or physiological forces. And, if the issues of government mind-control programs and hyperdimensional beings enter the equation, whether we may be under the absolute control of external forces must also be taken into account. In the first case we may choose to rob and steal because of extreme poverty, a broken home, and an ineffective educational system. In the latter case, we may choose to "go postal" because some fiendish government programmer's toast got burned that morning or because some Lurking Lizard Being thought Susy Smart was getting too close to the truth, and she needed to be eliminated on her morning trip to buy stamps.

So we begin to think that we are not so free after all. Because, in very real terms, all of us are under the influence of external forces or programming of one sort or another.

If we are free in this way, the issue of "free will," in third density terms, becomes meaningless. This is a very shallow interpretation because it means that freedom is defined as whether a person can do what he chooses, not to the choosing itself; it refers to the freedom of the action, not to the choice of action, because all of your choices are "programmed." Yet, whatever the individual decides to do, even if programmed to do it, it is considered that he has "free will" if he CAN do it!

What a cheap shot!

These concerns highlight the issue of the many forces that may restrain or compel behavior against one's will, which, if one was AWARE of them, one might or might not choose otherwise. The point is: We are not free if our potential or actual choices are restricted. Locke makes an example of a man locked into a room in which he prefers to stay. The man desires to stay in the room, is able to do so, and is thus free by Hobbes's definition, but the man does not have the power to leave the room and is thus not free according to Locke!

It is in exactly this sense that most people are deceived by the Service to Self gang to believe that they have free will. The room in which they are locked is the illusion that their beliefs and objectives are the full reality of God/Creation, and their choice to remain in the room is essentially acquiescence to beliefs imposed on them from the outside.

Most of humanity spends endless lifetimes locked in this room. But, the fact is, after a period of time, the confinement of the room and the sameness of the experiences become objectionable because, all the while the prisoner is lulled into inactivity, something may be growing inside him - some urge to see what is outside the room. But, until this inclination is fully developed, he may make no effort to even check the door. And, once he does check the door and discovers that it is locked, he may not yet have sufficient drive to do anything more than return to his position and continue to wait for something to happen. After a bit longer, the drive grows, and this, with the realization that he IS locked in may drive him to discover how to get out. But this process can take many lifetimes, and to attempt to open the door of the prison in which another is held when they are not ready to come out because they are not STRONG enough, will only frighten them, will only deprive them of the building force that is inside them that could, given time to develop, sustain the effort to emerge from the room on their own.

In such terms, whether or not a person has the power to do as he wills remains a fundamentally empirical question. He may think he has complete freedom to do or not as he wills, yet, his will, his choices which are based on his awareness, may be determined subconsciously or physically by things of which he is NOT aware. In this sense, any choice or act that is based upon lack of awareness, must lead us to discover the source of the lack of awareness as the causative factor, not the choice of the chooser.
In other words, if a person is "programmed," whether via government experiments, alien abductors, religions created and imposed by hyperdimensional beings, then WHO is ultimately responsible?

Is it the "programmers," or is it the person who has effectively chosen to be unaware?

Yes, the individual may be unaware because of fear of reprisals by God, demons, or his alien or government handlers. He may be afraid for his body or his soul or the body and soul of someone he loves. But these fears are beliefs that constitute the locked room in which he has chosen to remain not realizing that his own choice is the lock!

If the person is unaware, not because of fear, but simply because he is "asleep" is he then responsible for his lack of awareness?

According to the Cassiopaeans, Yes. It is his choice. He has chosen it for a reason at some level, and he is entitled to it. He has chosen his environment, he has chosen his grade and his lessons. Maybe "chosen" in the conscious sense is an inappropriate term. It is more like he is there because that is where he "fits." He is a "consciousness unit," and he is learning. Only when he reaches a certain level will he begin to "wake up." Only when something has "grown" in him. Will.

Gurdjieff seemed to have the idea that a "will" could be "nurtured" in a man and accelerated, so to say. The following remarks were made with this in mind:

To awaken for a man means to be dehypnotized. In this lies the chief difficulty and in this also lies the guarantee of its possibility, for there is no organic reason for sleep and man CAN awaken. Theoretically he can, but practically it is almost impossible because as soon as a man awakens for a moment and opens his eyes, all the forces that caused him to fall asleep begin to act upon him with tenfold energy and he immediately falls asleep again, very often dreaming that he is awake or is awakening. ...Only a man who fully realizes the difficulty of awakening can understand the necessity of long and hard work in order to awake.

Stop the world

Exit thought - Stop the world.
Watch from the eye of the storm
how the whipping internal winds revel in chaos,
in stirring the dust,
in obscuring the scene.
And then - Self remembering.
Become the state
of Self.
Then look again
to the eye
to the winds
to the instigator of this inner storm.
Look again and see
it's yours, but not you.
Your gut is wrenched,
your mouth open and taught with pain,
your eyes pressed and overflowing.
You weep.
And then Self remembering.
Feel yourself the channel of the pain.
Is it yours?
But it's not you.
Observe.
Then remember yourSelf.
Without thought,
as Essence.
And then,
bring your attention to the instigator of the storm.
Only then can you see reality.
Only then is love.

Teen loses fight to use alternative cancer treatment

Friday, July 21, 2006; Posted: 7:53 p.m. EDT (23:53 GMT)

NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) -- A judge ruled Friday that a 16-year-old boy fighting to use alternative treatment for his cancer must report to a hospital by Tuesday and accept treatment that doctors deem necessary, the family's attorney said.

The judge also found that Starchild Abraham Cherrix's parents were neglectful for allowing him to pursue alternative treatment of a sugar-free, organic diet and herbal supplements supervised by a clinic in Mexico, lawyer John Stepanovich said.

Teen Fights To Treat Cancer His Way
Should 16-Year-Old, Family, Be Able To Pursue Alternative Treatments?

CHINCOTEAGUE, Va., July 9, 2006

Starchild Abraham Cherrix looks out a window as he ponders a question during an interview at his home in Chincoteague, Va., Monday, June 26, 2006. Cherrix, who has Hodgkin's disease, refused a second round of radiation, turning to an organic diet and herbal supplements to treat his cancer. (AP)

(AP) Three months of chemotherapy last year made Starchild Abraham Cherrix nauseated and so weak that at times the tall, skinny teenager had to be carried by his father because he couldn't walk.

So when he learned in February that the cancer was active once again, he balked when doctors recommended another round of the drugs, as well as radiation.

"I think it would kill me the second time," said Abraham, who instead turned to a sugar-free organic diet, herbs and visits to a clinic in Mexico to treat his Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of the lymph nodes.

On Monday, Abraham and his family will be in juvenile court for a closed hearing to determine whether the 16-year-old can make his own medical decisions — and whether he can keep living with his parents and four siblings on Chincoteague, an island off Virginia's Eastern Shore.

A social worker had asked a judge to require Abraham to continue conventional treatment, and in May the judge issued a temporary order finding Jay and Rose Cherrix neglectful for supporting their son's choice to pursue alternatives.

Judge Jesse E. Demps also ordered the parents to share custody of Abraham with the Accomack County Department of Social Services; they face losing custody completely.

"It's scary that they can come in and they can do this to you," said Jay Cherrix, who runs a kayak business next door to the family's home.

"It's hard enough to deal with a child having this disease, and then to have to deal with this (court case) as if we were criminals ...," Cherrix said, his voice trailing.

Barry Taylor, Abraham's attorney, said the case could set a precedent allowing social workers to intervene in any situation in which they disagree with a family's decisions about medical treatment.

Mary E. Parker, director of the social services department, said she could not discuss Abraham's case because of privacy laws.

In a similar case, the parents of 13-year-old Hodgkin's disease patient Katie Wernecke won the right in November to make all her medical decisions after a court fight with child welfare officials in Corpus Christi, Texas. While doctors had recommended chemotherapy and radiation, her father favored intravenous vitamin C.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/07/09/health/main1786821.shtml

(AP) Hodgkin's disease is considered very treatable through conventional means and has a five-year survival rate of at least 80 percent, according to the Lymphoma Information Network.

Abraham was diagnosed last summer after he found a knot on his neck that turned out to be a swollen lymph node full of cancer cells. Tests revealed he also had a tumor near his windpipe.

To undergo chemotherapy, he made repeated visits to the nearest children's hospital, two hours away in Norfolk.

In December, Abraham learned there were no more active cancer cells. After active cancer cells were spotted again two months later, doctors wanted to give him massive amounts of chemo, plus radiation, Abraham and his parents said.

"They wanted to bring me to the brink of death, then bring me back, try to restore me with stem cells," said Abraham, who is home-schooled and has a brother who is autistic and a sister who needs back surgery.

Abraham and his parents researched alternative medicine and heard about the Hoxsey treatment of liquid herbal supplements and a diet heavy on fresh fruits and vegetables. The treatment used to be available in the United States but proponents moved their clinic from Texas to Mexico in the early 1960s after repeated clashes with federal authorities.

Rose Cherrix said she supports her son's decision to follow this approach because he is mature and thoughtful.

Cherrix now administers herbs to his son four times a day, carefully decanting into a small measuring glass a dark elixir with ingredients such as licorice and red clover. Father and son also pray together before Abraham drinks the concoction.

Jay Cherrix said he is not worried about Abraham using the method and will keep fighting for his son's right to continue it, even though he estimated medical and legal costs have helped put the family $100,000 (euro78,300) in debt.

"I am worried because he has cancer," Cherrix said. "It's the responsibility of all parents, when their children are sick, to get them the best care that they possibly can."

"When Abraham got cancer, it devastated all of us," he continued. "I carried him in from the (chemotherapy) treatments and he looked as if he was a survivor from a concentration camp. We thought many nights we were going to lose him."

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS: A "Conversation"

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS
A "Conversation"

T.D.A. Lingo and Neil Slade

[Lingo]: Cosmic Consciousness is the radio carrier wave upon which advanced problem-solving teaching/leaning information is communicated from an advanced civilization to a growing civilization.

Cosmic Consciousness is distributed uniformly throughout universe with space/time/energy/matter. Once one perceives the Self within this unified reality field, infinitude of being begins.

Cosmic Consciousness transmits data from brain #1 to brain #2 in zero time, regardless of distance; regardless of position of planets within the galaxy; regardless of position of galaxies within the universe.

[Slade]: Descriptions of "cosmic consciousness" arise from various spiritual, religious, and mystical sources, and now more recently from the perception and experience of brain lab participants after a program of internal brain self-control. The experience is a peak emotional and intellectual understanding", a nearly indescribable feeling of contentment and unity with all existence, all other beings, and the entire universe. It is demonstrated by accurate paranormal perception: telepathy, pre-cognition, clairvoyance, clairaudience, and telekinesis.

Traditionally, this experience follows intense religious practice or long periods of reflection or meditation, and may only come unpredictably after years or decades of work. In contrast, brain lab participants routinely reported this experience after from two weeks to three years of personal self-therapy and brain study. The conclusion has been that one can follow a procedure that predictably causes the experience to happen, and that it is based on self-stimulation and control of certain definable brain organs and processes.

Reports of the experience suggests that each human being is situated inside an infinitely big/small field of intelligence, within a field of cosmic intelligence. Lingo states that the nature of this field is: 1) unified 2) like a radio wave 3) that information and data can he sent from one being/consciousness terminal (brain/person/animal/plant?) to another without perceptual time lag. Although radio waves seem instantaneous, they in fact travel at a certain speed within time. Apparently, the intended comparison with radio waves is not that of speed, but that cosmic consciousness, like radio waves, are transmitted via a form of non-visible energy, like electromagnetic radiation. Unlike radio waves, it is implied that cosmic consciousness travels instantly by some other mode, yet unidentified, faster than light.

It may be that the cosmic consciousness field in some way reflects the origin of the universe from a singular point, and that a vestige of the singular unity remains in every atom, now separated across the expanded universe. Cosmic Consciousness may be the connection and awareness of all things, originally being a singularity: In every atom, a universal holographic memory of the rest of the universe. This being said, consciousness may be seen to exist with, yet separate from, and beyond the limitations of physical reality, time, and space.

Most astrophysicists have concluded that the universe originated from one point, a singularity, in which all matter exploded from an infinitely dense single point. Originally everything in the universe was one and the same thing. What if everything in the universe is still one end the same thing? What if physical reality itself is only an illusion of consciousness? What if the only thing that actually changed- expanded - was consciousness?

Scientists have looked deeper and deeper at the sub-atomic structure of atoms, electrons, and quarks, and ultimately they get down to the point where all they see is the vibration of light- no stuff- just vibration. I would suggest that the universe may not exist at all except for a conscious description of it: All is in fact connected, all exists simultaneously, all is one thing, in one place - everywhere - and at no place at the same time. The Big Bang was just an event of consciousness expansion. We are situated on a relative point in consciousness-time-space, on the imaginary landscape that we are convinced is real by our present (yet ever changing) consciousness definition.

Paranormal-beyond-time/space-perception, such as accurate pre-cognition and telepathy, point to the super-reality of cosmic consciousness unity. Perception beyond space and time are possible because there imay be, in fact, no separation between events and matter, except in consciousness.

[Lingo] Tuning into cosmic consciousness is not the prime goal of brain evolution. Such tuning is given to each infant at birth; merely is tuned out by neurally ignorant parents/culture; merely is re-tuned via meditation procedures within the still viable young adult. Re-tuning into cosmic consciousness merely is the pre-requisite for tuning into the "announcer" speaking required intelligence over the carrier wave; speaking specific answers to specific questions properly programmed by lesser brain #2 to greater brain #1. Proper Computer" [human brain] teaching/learning/growing causes automatic genius; evolution.

For thousands of years, mystics have tuned into the carrier wave; have allowed their imperfect egos to be overwhelmed and seduced by the experience. Thus have they been blinded to the next step; dialog. Via neural cybernetics, the average student clears his/her backward child ego perfectly, transcends to egoless cosmic consciousness, and then starts dialog with his/her precisely proper cosmic teacher. Obviously, fools are not allowed into this precious survival growth/evolution network. Survival of the fittest brains.

The wise student is identified quickly by

1) The excellence of his/her question programming, and 2) The excellence of his/her received answers transformed into work for mankind and humanity; for future children.

The information and answers one receives via cosmic communication with other intelligences or pure intelligence itself is dependent on the nature of the QUESTION and communication itself, and the open mindedness of the individual seeking answers from cosmic consciousness. If one looks for a simple answer, this is what will likely be received. Similarly, if one looks for a complicated cosmic dialog or no dialog at all, or refutes the transmission of communication, this "I affect or negate such transmission. This is the quantum theory of consciousness communication: Observations are shaped by the inquiry itself. To illustrate: the design and size of a radio telescope determines the kind of information that is received- but does not determine the quantity, quality, or kind of information that is available and actually exists in the universe.

Mystic cosmic consciousness is the last incredibly subtle demonstration of ego imperfection. Neural cybernetic cosmic consciousness is the first routine demonstration of egoless perfection of the cosmic worker.

The all perceptive cosmic worker simply enjoys the two way communication daily; outward into immediate environment to solve short/long range practical problems within his/her chosen sector of given society; inward to "Big Computer in the Sky," to "Big Daddie," when one gets stuck on an arithmetic or geometric progression of growth.

What conventional culture would traditionally attribute to inner reflection, thought, and intuitive decision-making is now suggested to be affected by external intelligences- via cosmic consciousness- which transmits actual knowledge across time and space from distinctly different intelligent entities. A person aware of this fact may then deliberately make open dialog with such intelligence in any circumstance without knowing where or who the source of helpful knowledge, by merely tuning into intelligence via cosmic consciousness.

The method to achieve cosmic consciousness via eastern mysticism is elitist; via Western scientism is mass multipliable into pragmatic personal ecstasy and planetary consciousness technology [i.e., "clicking the amygdala forward" and other such simple neuroscience brain self-control].

The method to achieve cosmic consciousness via this program is through the class texts; is routinely demonstrated by advanced students. The method merely requires neural retrogression into child cognitive ego, self-therapy of abused circuits, then automatic self-circuiting into frontal lobes, the nirvana experience and cosmic consciousness. The secondary rewards of automatic sleep writing, daily boring, joy, identity fulfillment, and balanced inward/outward living merely are secondary. The primary voluptuousness is the infinite ingenuity of creative production for others. A mast - therapist/teacher bestows cosmic consciousness upon any sincere student merely via creative guidance into cooperative consciousness.

The Cosmic Consciousness experience can be achieved by application of relatively simple brain self-control procedures, althoug the exact methods and time spent employing these techniques seem to be highly variable. Most recently, persons have reported results in increasingly shorter periods of time, without doing the deepest self-therapy work. This could be attributed to more efficient and accurate techniques developed in recent years, or just that people are now included in the larger database who are more prone to have the experience. Whether or not these results are largely temporary, or in fact define new shortcuts to permanent changes in awareness, is yet to he seen.

SEEING THE UNSEEN: A BRAIN-WAVE STATE

SEEING THE UNSEEN: A BRAIN-WAVE STATE

(with edits, comments and ending anecdote by lovebean)
Don't cut down that tree - it may be the home of an elf

Yep . . . I believe in the "wee folk", the "old ones" and the nature spirits: the mysterious and invisible intelligences that have lived on earth for a very long time - betwixt and between realities - right along with humans.

Just because we adults don't often see them ... doesn't mean they don't exist.

It is precisely because we have "grown up", have become "adults" and have "put away childish things" that we no longer see or hear them. Nonetheless, they continue to exist.

With all its fantastic characters of elves, fairies, wee hobbit folk, and spooky creatures - the movie based on the old classic Lord of the Rings became a huge hit loved by millions. Why is that? And why is it that the most beloved of childhood stories are about elves and fairies: stories that are very old and date back to ancient cultures yet are still valued today?

We seem to have collective memories of an era on earth when the "doorways" to other realities were much more open and accessible than they are today. And a lot of that has to do with the changes in our beliefs as well as the changes in the way we use our brains.

Many of you reading this also saw and heard things as small children that others did not ... but you soon forgot much of it. And we forgot largely because we were invalidated and taught NOT to believe. And so a very significant door to other worlds was closed very early in life.

Access to other realities begins with brain wave states

I learned in hypnotherapy training that we have four basic electrical brain wave frequency states: beta, alpha, theta and delta.

We are in beta when we're fully awake and going about our daily routine - and it is also the brain wave state where anxiety, worry, tension and stress is produced ; we are in alpha when we're relaxed, reflective, meditative, just beginning to fall asleep ... or even when we're doing repetitive tasks like driving along a familiar road; we are in theta when we're highly creative, deep in day-dreaming, birthing a new idea, having a revelation, deep trance-channeling, having a religious/mystical experience or gaining inspired insights; we're in delta when we are in a deep state of both dreaming or dreamless sleep.
(Is this commonly chanted brain wave garble true? How can we learn to change our brain waves and hence states of consciousness at will, becoming perfectly agile in response to every situation we encounter? )

We experience all of these states at different times in various forms. Although we can tap into the highly creative state of theta, the vast majority of folks visit the theta state only briefly while slipping from alpha on our way down into deep-sleep delta ... and then again when we rise from delta on the way up to alpha and full wakefulness.

It is while we are in the theta state - a primarily right brained activity - where we achieve our fullest potential for high creativity and profound insights as well as spiritual/religious ecstasy ... AND where we can access other dimensional realities.

But why is such a powerful brain wave stage like theta experienced mostly in the sleep state? Isn't that a waste of a very good thing? Well ... it wasn't always this way for us!

The Gift of Childhood

When we were children, the theta state took the larger percentage of our waking state. In fact, from birth to around 6 or 7 children are in the theta state far more than the other brain-wave state. This makes sense because children are highly creative in their play and imagination: it's switched on all the time.

It is also during this time when children are likely to have invisible playmates or companions - which may include invisible animals (invisible to others that is!). Children also tend to see and hear many things that older kids and adults regularly dismiss as the over-active imagination of a child - simply because they themselves don't see or hear that which is very real to the child.

Unfortunately, small children also lack the ability to accurately describe their experiences which compounds the confusion or disbelief. In addition to that, until they learn the words, children may not even be aware that what they see or hear is not visible or audible to others ... they just accept it as another part of "their world" and may not significantly react.

The Test (Wow! Can't wait to try this! LB)

When I am in the presence of infants and one or two year olds - whether standing in line at a public place or at a gathering - I often give them "the test" to see how aware they are. No one else knows I'm doing this ... but the child knows.

Once their gaze is on me, I create a strong mental image of a ball of light around my left or right shoulder. Then I move it around using my mind. I will change its color or split it up into many smaller balls of light. Most children will follow the light with their eyes wherever I have moved it. It's quite fascinating.

None of these children ever respond in a manner that indicates fear, surprise or concern ... and so they never make any motion to alert their parent who is holding them or standing right next to them. They simply watch the movement that I'm creating with my mind. The whole experience goes unnoticed by mom or dad but the child is fully engaged in the experience of another realm of dimension.

Disbelief closes the door

When children are repeatedly laughed at, ignored or invalidated in regards to their experiences, it quickly sends a message to their vulnerable, fragile and developing character, that seeing or hearing certain things is not acceptable - and certainly not safe to talk about. And so children learn to turn off their awareness at a very early age.

As children become increasingly indoctrinated into the world of adults - with its secular beliefs, stressful societal expectations and highly structured school systems that reward intellectual development and achievement over soul nourishment and creative genius - the theta state increasingly shrinks while the alpha and beta states continue to grow ... especially the beta state.

Consequently, the door to a marvelous world is closed ... and may remain closed for the rest of one's life ... only to be briefly regained upon entering the last stages of dying. (See www.worldofalternatives.com for brain wave meditation files that help restore the coherence of each brain wave state plus variability - soon to be tested by LB!)

Some adults are fortunate enough to rebuild that lost connection and have found ways to integrate it into their lives in a beneficial fashion; but only after they have dissolved a great deal of the intellectual conditioning and "adult" belief systems they were taught.

Personal experience

As a child, I remember seeing and hearing more of the "other-worldly" things ... far more than I do now. In regards to the "wee folk" - and long before I could use words to explain, describe or tell others what I saw - I remember small dwarfish-looking people - like old men with bushy beards and funny hats - who appeared suddenly and then just as suddenly disappeared. They were as solid and real as any other human being. Their favorite places to appear seemed to be out in the garden or in the wild places of nature.

Even when I eventually learned enough words to tell about what I saw, it was painful to be laughed at, teased, invalidated or have my stories ignored. So I stopped talking about such things.

I also remember a very wise, invisible friend who was always with me as a child. Although I don't remember what this friend looked like, I distinctly remember the impressions it left on my mind - which seemed to be more telepathic in nature. The friend was kind, gentle and all-knowing ... a "voice-without-words" that explained many things to me about life. (Know your guides - who are they really? LB)

For example: as a child I sometimes saw disturbing personalities in the eyes of another or felt actual pain in my body when exposed to the incongruencies of human behavior - deceit, jealousy, rudeness, unkindness, disrespect, pretense, meanness, hypocrisy, hostility and violence.

My wise and invisible friend would "explain" to me why there was such darkness in many humans and that most people went to great lengths to hide the truth of their nature from others out of great fear (otherwise known as denial!). It was further explained that because of my sensitivities I was much more aware of this dark, disturbing aspect which was not often recognized by others until a particular kind of interaction forced it into plain view. Gaining this understanding from my unseen friend gave me some level of comfort.

Unfortunately, pain happened so often that I learned to shut down and tune out by retreating deeply into my inner world: I became a very quiet child. I avoided looking directly into the eyes of others because I didn't want to see those disturbing images nor feel the painful vibes --- much in the same way that many autistic children do by avoiding eye contact or by avoiding directly interacting with others.

Along with that, I felt- and still feel to this day - physical discomfort whenever harmless pets or wild animals are hurt or killed and also when trees are cut down and forests are devastated. In more severe cases the discomfort is just too difficult to bare. I feel that same pain when children, the innocent, the seriously ill or the extreme elderly are harmed or taken advantage of. Sometimes I become distraught over such situations while at other times anger rises up and I am moved to take action. Many times I have taken a stand for someone who could not do it for themselves.

Later on in my young adulthood, I learned to work with my keen sensitivities in a more effective manner. I learned to become more resilient and I learned that when I focused more on the good in others, that their darker natures became less threatening and less painful.

Even though I have retained some of my sensitivities that allow me to see and hear into other worlds and to know what others are thinking or feeling ... its not nearly as strong, sharp or clear as it was when I was a child: probably because it can feel like a burden at times and I don't want to know so much! (The BIG question! How to maintain these sensitivities without injury? Is transformation of the energy the key? Or live and let be?....LB)

The "wee people" gradually faded from physical view as I grew up and I have not seen them in solid form since. Fortunately, they do continue to appear as shadowy, wispy shapes ... especially when I go camping or hiking out in nature. I can still "hear" them and can often catch a fleeting glimpse. They give me guidance or direction when I am out alone in the wilderness. I have been "saved" and protected more than once by their timely interventions!

So before moving that boulder, before cutting down that tree, before devastating the wild places on earth ... it may be wise to consider that our actions may be upsetting a whole lot more than we think ... as will be seen in the article below.

Namaste' ~ Paula Peterson.

LoveBean anecdote - This weekend some friends and I were testing young trees with muscle testing that had been salvaged from a violent unearthing and thrown into a truck to be destroyed. Instead of being destroyed the trees were rescued by friends who planted them in a field in the shape of a Sri Yantra. Some of the trees were not doing very well, so we used muscle testing to help understand why and naet to remove any blockages. One of the little trees (an oak) had a problem absorbing and using one or more minerals in the soil. This was corrected with a naet treatment. In addition, it had an "emotional" blockage (an etheric body blockage?) toward violence due to the way it had been treated in the past. We were about to remove this blockage when one of the owners of the land approached and told us the history of the tree, how it had been ripped out of the ground and tossed into a truck for destruction. After the story he then said outloud "I think the trees here are very happy because they know we will never cut them down and will always take care of them". At that point it struck me that him passing on this attitude to the tree was all that was needed in order to remove the tree's "emotional" blockage. Upon retesting the tree, it indeed no longer had the emotional blockage and hence no need to treat it!

Chilli receptors detect heart attack pain

2006-03-19T07:10:00.000-08:00

Dr. Christopher always used to say that he never lost a patient to a heart attack because he gave them Cayenne pepper in water at the first sign of the attack. The cayenne pepper never failed to stop the heart attack. Others, Richard Schulze for example, have rebuilt malformed portions of the heart using cayenne pepper. Dr. Christopher used to say that cayenne is a specific food for the heart.

I read the following article and I'm amazed that they are now planning to spend billions of dollars on finding a new drug to fill these receptor sites and relieve heart pain when cayenne pepper does the exact same thing and costs pennies!

Chilli receptors detect heart attack pain

The same receptors that sense the burning taste of chilli peppers also sense chest pain during a heart attack, scientists have discovered.

The receptors are only present on the outer surface of the heart, which may explain why some "silent" heart attacks produce no pain. The new research also identifies a new target for drugs that alleviate chest pain caused by coronary heart disease, scientists say.

Vanilloid receptor 1 (VR1) is a pain sensor that is abundant in the skin and tongue and picks up the searing sensation of chilli peppers. Hui-Lin Pan, at Pennsylvania State University in the US, investigated whether it is also present in the heart.

"What was very striking was that we found the receptors were localised only on the surface of the heart," he told New Scientist. The outer surface was densely covered with VR1, but no receptors were detected on the inner surface.

"This is the first time anyone has documented these receptors in the heart," says Harold Schultz at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

Inner feeling

Pan also found that VR1 was important in triggering the cardiac reflex response, which causes the chest pain associated with most heart attacks.

However, patients with silent ischaemia suffer damage on the inner surface of the heart. The lack of VR1 receptors on the inner surface could explain why no pain is felt.

VR1 could also be a target for drugs that reduce or prevent chest pain, Pan says. Schultz agrees: "If these receptors are involved in pain perception in heart attack, then it could open an avenue for looking for drugs that can block this pain."

Pungent ingredient

Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient in chilli peppers, activates VR1. Previous studies had shown that, when applied to the heart surfaces of animals, capsaicin causes changes in blood pressure and heart rate similar to those seen in heart attacks. But the receptors involved in producing these changes were not known.

Pan used immunofluorescence labelling to show that VR1 was located on the outer surface of the heart. To determine whether the receptor was involved in the cardiac reflex response, he destroyed the nerves containing VR1 in one group of rats and compared their response with a group with intact VR1 receptors.

In the intact rats, both capsaicin and bradykinin - a chemical released during heart attacks - led to an increase in blood pressure and nerve activity. But in rats with no VR1, no increases were detected at all.

This surprised Pan. "We initially expected a partial response when we tried to trigger a reflex, because we thought other receptors would compensate for the lack of VR1." The absence of response suggests that VR1 is the most important receptor in chest pain.

Formula for Newborn Babies

2006-03-19T06:49:00.000-08:00

I've found this formula to be useful for newborns who for one reason or another cannot take mother's milk. Of course nursing from the mother is usually the best option for newborns, but in case this is not possible, this formula may be helpful:

3/4 fresh goat's milk
1/4 spring water
1 teaspoon Baobab fruit powder (per baby bottle)

Goat's milk is the healthiest substitute for mother's milk, especially over pasteurized and homogenized cow's milk or soy formulas. In addition to (and perhaps because of) the fact that soy and cow's milk formulas are denatured, full of hormones and genetically modified substances, many children are allergic or intolerant to cow's milk and soy.

Click here for information on Baobab which is used as a nutritive supplement in this formula.

Like any substance it's best to test the child beforehand to make sure this formula is the best for him or her. I use muscle testing for this. A kinesiologist or NAET practitioner can do this for you but it's best if you learn muscle testing for yourself so that you empower yourself and your family.

Chillies turn up the heat on tumours

Chillies turn up the heat on tumours

13:22 15 March 2006

The same component of jalapeño peppers that makes them burn the tongue also appears to kill prostate cancer cells. Prostate tumours in mice treated with the compound, called capsaicin, shrank to one-fifth the size of those in non-treated mice, found a new study.

To explore capsaicin’s effect, Phillip Koeffler of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, US, and colleagues exposed human prostate cancer cells in a laboratory dish to the natural compound. They found that capsaicin dramatically slowed the proliferation of the cells in the dish.

And this effect increased as the dose of the chilli compound was raised. Three per cent of prostate cancer cells committed “suicide” – programmed cell death – at low concentrations, rising to up to 75% of tumour cells dying at a higher dose.

Koeffler says this is the first experimental evidence supporting the notion that capsaicin stops the growth of prostate cancer cells.

Human cancer

He believes that capsaicin jump starts a pathway that triggers cell death. Molecular tests suggest that it achieves this by causing a cascade of events inside the cell that lead to the release of a protein complex called NF-kappa Beta, which subsequently causes the cell to self-destruct. This is crucial since cancer is characterised by the uncontrolled growth of cells.

The team also found that capsaicin suppressed the growth of human prostate cancer cells by about 80%. These cells were grafted into mice with suppressed immune systems.

But Koeffler says that men concerned about prostate cancer should not interpret these findings as a reason to up their consumption of hot peppers. He stresses that the compound has not been shown to prevent prostate cancer but instead simply slows its growth. And he adds that he hopes to see human trials in the next two years assessing capsaicin’s effect on prostate cancer.

Take a chilli pill

After prostate cancer is surgically removed, it tends to reappear in about a quarter of patients, the researchers note. For this reason, they say that capsaicin may be most effective in slowing cancer’s return instead of stopping it from first developing.

He adds that one also must take dosages into consideration. A 200-pound (90-kilogram) person would have to eat about 10 fresh habañera peppers – one of the hottest chillies around – per week to consume an amount of capsaicin equivalent to the levels received by Koeffler’s mice.

A habañera typically contains 300,000 Scoville units – a scale used to measure the hotness of chillis – making them positively scorching to the mouth in comparison with the more popular jalapeños, which contain roughly 2500 to 5000 Scoville units. For this reason, he says it is unreasonable to imagine anyone eating fresh peppers to prevent the return of prostate cancer: “You would have to take it in pill form.”

Messages from Gold

2006-03-03T14:10:00.000-08:00

Right now I'm living and working in a large, new house that was once an earring factory. The owners of this factory have moved the factory to a larger building across town and have kindly allowed me to stay and practice here temporarily. This mother and father, also the founders of this earring business which works mostly with gold, live across the street. Their 3 daughters and their partners are also working within this business in one capacity or another. I am friends with this family as a result of working on their son/grandson who had food allergies. They invited me to come work in this "ex-gold factory" as I like to think of it and my clientele here has blossomed quickly.

These people have worked with gold for 30 years and for the entire lives of the children. The windows of this house are surrounded by metal bars to keep out intruders. The bullet proof window coverings were removed right before I moved in. Video cameras still sit watching the ex-gold factory.

The family's house across the street is also surrounded in metal bars - all of the windows and doors. The metal has been colored yellow and there are little metal flowers embedded into the bars to make their protective covering look artistic. They have 4 video cameras on the grounds of their house which show the entire grounds between the 4 of them. The views from these cameras are available via their television inside, so at any moment they can turn on the tv and see what is going on around their house and on the street out front. Sometimes when I arrive for dinner they open the gate before I ring, and I enter the dining room to see the 4 views shown on tv.

I'd say this family has it's problems just like any other. Without exposing too many of their personal details, they have their health problems, loveless relationships, overworked family members, black sheep etc. Just a few days ago one of the daughters, her husband and I were discussing the irony that they work with the most strongly protective metal in existence, one symbolizing enlightenment, yet they surround themselves in life draining metal in order to keep out the burglars, or better said to "secure" their livelihood!

To me their situation is awe inspiring because it's a perfect parable for the common human condition and how we create prisoners out of ourselves by trying to protect our "valuables" - which like their gold is a treasure outside of themselves. But this goes beyond the general lesson... This is about Gold and the key to bliss. Gold has been presenting itself to me in various forms and factors for several months now, and I've been watching closely it's message.

First I was invited here to work in the ex-gold factory. Then I immersed myself in Dan Winter, who explains how gold is the perfect symbol for bliss. So much so that taking it can create states of bliss, but then you must be careful not to become addicted to it. Why? Because your DNA is capable of making this same bliss but if you're supplementing it all the time, it loses it's capacity to do this (like taking insulin reduces the remaining ability of the pancreas to create insulin etc).

Dan Winter (also Zacharia Sitchen and many others...) discusses the story regarding the progenitors of the human race and how they arrived on planet earth to mine gold. After a few thousand years they were sick of doing the hard labor of mining so they created a slave race to mine the gold for them - humans! The reason they were mining gold was because they had become addicted to it and had lost the ability to make their own bliss. So taking gold for them was the bliss instigator!

In other words, gold is the whole reason the human race exists in the first place! This is valid as symbolism too. Fortunately for us, humans still have the capacity to make their own bliss via their DNA and don't need to rely on gold... but it's a skill that needs to be "remembered", cultivated, given much more of our attention. This is hard to do in a state of fear, protection and ignorance. It's hard to do eating tainted food and breathing tainted air, eating and sleeping within a house surrounded by metal, being in loveless relationships, sitting for 9 hours a day under fake lighting, spending little time in introspection and watching the blond babes in bikinis dance around in all the game shows (welcome to Italian tv!).

The point is that each of us has the ability to reach and maintain bliss (gold). But just like the earring factory family, we shut down this bliss by emersing ourselves in surroundings that don't cultivate this bliss (like pretty bars for our prisons). We do this out of ignorance (we don't recognize our own potential within ourselves) and fear (got to protect my gold!). In the end we spend so much time protecting and looking outside ourselves that we have forgotten about the gold... and that it doesn't come for free. I think this is part of gold's message for me. I'll soon be delving into gold from another angle (with care) so I'm sure more insights to come!

CFIDS and Spirituality

Man as a whole

In order to be able to understand the chronical fatigue syndrome in its whole variety, as usual in the naturopathy - you have to regard man as multi-dimensional entireness consisting of body, mind and spirit (1). The extensive symptom complex shows quite clearly beside physical also mental (psychological) and mental up to spiritual symptoms. This alone already shows the fact that CFIDS is not a conventional "disease" and that classical-school medical measures alone will not help. The search for the causes will further show us that also an additional dimension of the human existence plays an important role, i.e. the body-own energy field. In the esoteric literature this energy field was always called the aura. The natural science, which could prove existence of this energy field in the meantime, speaks of the bio photon field or of the ultra weak cell radiation. It is scientifically proven that the state of this energy field correlates with the state of health. Thus, before we may enter into the details of CFIDS, we must talk some words about the aura.

The aura as an energetic protective shell

It is to be owed to today's refined measuring procedures of biophysics that science could prove the existence of the aura in the meantime. Nearly each human organ is surrounded by its own magnetic field (2). Furthermore, living matter is continuously surrounded by a weak radiation of light, which is based on the rules of quantum physics and proceeds mainly from the DNA (Desoxyribonucleic acid). This molecule, which takes the form of a wound double helix, as well known, is due to this form an ideal electromagnetic antenna, which may serve as transmitter and receiver. Furthermore, the DNA may store absorbed light radiation in each cell of our body, according to the results of most modern research. This memory mechanism is based on the characteristic of the DNA to be superconducting at normal body temperature. Each DNA molecule is surrounded by a light field, a so-called Soliton wave (3).

Latest research from Russia came to the result that the information absorbed with the light (e.g. the information, which was impressed to an electromagnetic wave for the purpose of technical data communication - radio, television, telecommunications etc.) is understood and processed by the DNA, no matter whether this information is beneficial for the body or not. (More in our article "The Biological Chip in our Cells")

Thus the human aura field becomes the sixth sense of man, more exactly: a further communication organ. Using our electromagnetic radiant emittance - the body-own magnetic field and the bio photon radiation - we interact with the radiant emittance of other organisms, and, in addition, with the energy fields of earth (earth's magnetic field, Schumann frequencies (4)) and in present time of course with technical energy fields too. It is therefore no miracle that on one hand the constantly increasing wireless telecommunications, on the other hand the geophysical changes now happening on earth, are registered and to reactions by the human energy field and that they lead to reactions in body, mind and spirit. Likewise it is not amazing that these subtle changes are especially noticed by sensitive people. The effects become apparent both via the brain and the subconciousness, as well as directly via DNA communication in the body cells.

The seven main chakras of the human aura.

In esoteric these connections are well-known for centuries, and particularly spiritual people could often even notice them. Long time only scientific confirmation was missing. Thus we know for a long time that the auras of people not only differ from each other, but that also the energy radiation of humans is subject to a constant change during the life, thus it is a dynamic parameter. Even if in esoterical view the principal parts of the aura are located outside of space and time in a higher dimension, it has without doubt portions of electromagnetic nature, which are recordable with the terms of well-known physics. Due to this, the aura can be essentially characterized by three characteristics (5):

A. Colour or frequency of the aura

This is a parameter that probably indicates something as the degree of spiritual development of someone. Beside the main color, which slowly changes during life, additional colors usually arise in the aura, e.g. at the energy vortices of the Indian medicine, the chakras, but also locally in places with increased probability of disease. Altogether the human aura represents no purely monochromatic oscillation, but a frequency spectrum. Also in different aura layers different colors arise.

Hierbei handelt es sich um einen Parameter, der vermutlich so etwas wie den Entwicklungsgrad des Menschen angibt. Neben der Hauptfarbe, die sich im Verlaufe des Lebens nur langsam verändert, treten in der Regel im Aurabild zusätzliche lokale Farben auf, z. B. an den Energiewirbeln der indischen Medizin, den Chakren, aber auch an Stellen mit erhöhter Krankheitsdisposition. Insgesamt repräsentiert die menschliche Aura also keine rein monochromatische Schwingung, sondern ein Frequenzspektrum. Auch in verschiedenen Auraschichten treten unterschiedliche Farben auf.

B. Thickness of the aura

Like every electromagnetic field in physics the human aura extends in principle to infinity in all directions. This expresses in scientific terms the esoterical view that everything is connected with everything. However the field strength always decreases with increasing distance. Now, aura thickness is the range, where the aura is still perceptible for other people. The more largely this range is, the more largely is the sphere of influence of someone resp. the range covered by his perception with the aura.

C. Form of the aura

Both the observations of aura viewing sensitives and modern biophysical measurements resulted in the same fact: that the energy field of humans does not always surround the body completely and smoothly, but that it in some places bulges or even holes may be found. As rule of thumb we may say that the energy content of the aura is the larger, the more completely and more smoothly this field encloses the body. Physically we call this the field density, i.e. how near the lines of flux enclose the source of the field.

Thus the question already clarifies itself, why the subtle causes responsible for CFIDS are frequently particularly strongly noticed by sensitive and spiritual people. The reason is that the aura of these people did not develop evenly in all three parameters:

The frequency (and/or color) of the aura of sensitives is usually quite high, which makes these humans resonancable to more influences, than it is the case with other people with lower frequency. Spiritual training, e.g. Meditation or Yoga, usually also increase the aura thickness, i.e. these people stretch their unconscious communication feelers much further into their environment, than it corresponds to the average. We know about cases, where people are so sensitive that they cannot sleep at night if in Southeast Asia a volcano breaks out, although they live in Germany.

But the aura form, which determines the energy content and concomitantly the energetic strength, is often only badly developed. Such an aura with holes is anything but not the often-quoted "protective shell of light".

The reason is that in the aura field - we already mentioned it with the DNA - information is stored too. The aura interacts with the aura of another humans or with its environment and thus takes up electromagnetic radiation that always contains information. If this information is coherent with the own, thus the frequencies agree good and are the waves in phase, then it comes to a resonance. The energy of the aura increases by admission of this radiation. But if the information is disharmonic to our own, then the interference of the waves leads to a mutual extinction.

Everyone noticed sometimes during his life that there are people being "on the same wavelength" with him, as if they would understand each other without words. But with others he may argue with words as much as he wants, no communication takes place. Sometimes we feel internally strengthened and enriched during a meeting with another people, another time weakened and leached out.

Not only that disharmonic contacts lead to losses of energy in the aura (so-called blockades) - the information will be taken up by our hereditary substance, the DNA, together with the light energy and then will be processed in the cells, although it disturbs our own frequencies and this way is detrimental to our health. Thus the blockades are reproduced even by ourselves on cell level by the replication of the DNA, so they may “live” extremely long. Usually people carry loads from their whole life and in extreme cases even from earlier lives in their aura field. Of course for more sensitive people this is true too, and due to their higher susceptibility the effects become conscious even more quickly, and additionally they are also more vulnerable due to their larger openness in the aura range.

Not only contact with other people leads to such an interaction, but also contact with the earth itself, whose magnetic field and resonance frequencies are also subject to large local fluctuations. Thereby the phenomenon of geomanty might be explainable, why people classify some places as "places of the power" and other places rather as "negative"(6).

Nowadays the contact with technical energy fields has to be added as third aspect, which of course may be particularly harmful. Here especially telecommunication is concerned, since for the wireless transmission of cell phone discussions frequencies are used, which lie directly in the range of the resonance frequency of the DNA. Thus we may store contents of of any telephone call in our cells without even noticing it, and process its information, only because we passed through a "salad of waves".

Consciousness in the population for "electrical smog" is surely already quite pronounced today. Therefore it must be pointed out that both communication with the natural radiant emittances of the earth or other people may contribute to the CFIDS problem with same strength.

CFIDS and Spirituality

Since CFIDS is a symptom complex, concerning particularly frequently people who classify themselves as "spiritual", it is hardly amazing to regain a whole number of these symptoms also in today's esoteric literature. There, however, you will not read about the chronical fatigue syndrome, but about "symptoms of the global transformation process", which the earth and humans living on earth have to go through, in order to develop a so-called "light body".

As we saw, this image is quite correct, however in these informations, mostly “channelled” from spiritual sources they are placed into a wrong context, what is not far from purposeful disinformation (7). In unawareness of the physical and physical fundamentals in such writings is stated very often that these symptoms are expression of the "work on our light body", which is accomplished by higher spiritual or "extraterrestial" beings and of course is "only for our own good". (see our story "CFIDS - Syndrom: Challenge for science, prototype for mind control").

Nevertheless we cannot totally ignore these publications, since they are believed by many social classes, due to the esoteric context - often uncritical -, and there lies a danger, which should be removed by clarification, because people are suggested here, their symptoms would be an indication for the fact that they are something “special”. For good of their own development they would have to arrange themselves with their symptoms. Explicitly people are advised not to consult a physician or a natural healer.

It remains open, who takes profit from such publication and who possibly launched it to the public. Fact is that thereby the clearing-up of the true background of CFIDS is inhibited just between the concerned people. So this doesn’t promote a "spiritual development", but rather helps them, who would like very much to cover up harmful influences of certain technical facilites.

It is beyond any doubt that in modern times, even without the existence of cell phones, HAARP antennas or electromagnetic weapons, CFIDS would exist too. The geophysical changes, which take place at present on earth, may cause the same symptoms, and it is rather probable that on end of the adjustment process to the changed environmental conditions mankind could develop higher sensitivity and spirituality (and additionally will again feel good). Technology only accelerates a development, which would exist anyway.

The fact that our terrestrial conditions change and we all gradually have to adapt to them, may contain as consequence that there probably never will be a classical "cure" against CFIDS. But it also does not mean that it would not be permitted to us to try anything to reduce pain during this transition period. The goal of all mankind is development of a higher consciousness, but not to suffer from pain.

In addition the CFIDS syndrome is such multilayered that a medical layman is not able under any circumstances to find out himself whether this syndrome is really present or not. A set of similar symptoms may occur, as seen, also with dangerous, partly even compulsorily notifiable infections, in addition, if someone suffers from CFIDS for a long time he may deliver cancer, impact accumulations or neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer, so that the this may not be underestimated by any means. The consultation of a qualified therapist who knows enough about CFIDS is highly recommended!

There are some possibilities, which enable us to help CFIDS patients by therapeutic intervention as far as possible, and additionally everyone should do something for his welfare. For a spiritually interested person however the question could rise now, whether and how he/she can do something also on this level to support the transformation process. The answer is “Yes”, of course, and it gives people a much more active, self-responsible role to everyone, than it is the case in the “channelled” messages quoted above.

Baobab (Adansonia digitata)

2006-02-26T10:36:00.000-08:00

It's hard to find slippery elm bark here in Italy but the stuff works miracles for checking diarrea and healing intestinal tissue. It's also used as a nutritive especially when the person can't get any food down and they need nourishment. I'm trying out Baobab fruit powder instead. It is water soluble and easily added to drinks, especially in children who need extra nourishment. Isn't it ironic that so many babies in Africa are starving when these trees grow right outside their front door! At the same time some babies here in the western world have become so allergic due to the accumulation of metabolic atrocities brought on by our highly chemicalized, stress filled and SAD diet world that they are severely limited as to what they can eat and end up malnourised like the African babies. I'm hoping this Baobab powder can help nourish these allergic children until we can successfully remove their allergies with NAET. Perhaps it can be used in chronic diarrea and malabsorption disorders like Crohn's and celiac like slippery elm powder can.

The Baobab fruit company sells the product I'm using. The below article is taken from their website.

Use of Baobab in traditional pharmacopoeia
(download "pharmacopee traditionelle Senegalaise", FR)

Everywhere in Africa the various parts of the Baobab are exploited from the therapeutic and nutritional point of view, and numerous remedies based on Baobab are quoted in the traditional African pharmacopoeia.
Nearly all the parts of the tree are used:

Roots

In Sierra Leone the root decoction is used as stimulant for sexual activity. The dry root powder prepared as a cream is used as tonic on patients suffering from malaria.
In Zambia the root brew is used to bathe children to make their skin smooth and soft.

Bark

The bark is used as febrifuge (bark decoctions, boiled for a day are used) as substitute for cinchona bark. It is beneficial as febrifuge in anti-malaria and diaphoretic treatments.
The bark rich in mucilage is used as sedative to fight inflammation of the alimentary tract. When cut, a white, semifluid, odourless, tasteless, acidic and insoluble gum seeps out, used to clean sores and ulcers.
In East Africa the bark is used as antidote against strophanthin.

Seeds

An oil rich in essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, and linolenic in particular) is extracted from the seeds, which can be used in the human diet and in cosmetics. The oil extracted from its seeds alleviates pain from burns and regenerates the epithelial tissues in a short time, giving the skin tone and elasticity.

Leaves

The leaves are rich in vitamin C, uronic acid, rhamnose and other sugars, tannins, potassium tartrate, catechins, etc. The analyses conducted on young leaves dried in the shade and pulverized, revealed a high content of provitamin A with concentrations varying between 9 mg and 27 mg (retinol equivalents) per gram of powder analysed. The macerated and compressed leaves are used to wash out ears and eyes of ill children with anti-inflammatory effect.
The leaves are used in traditional medicine by virtue of the diaphoretic, expectorant, astringent, febrifugal, hypotensive and anti-asthmatic properties, and to hold excessive perspiration in check.
They are used in diseases of the urinary tracts, diarrhoea, inflammation, insect bites, and as vermifuge in treatments for expulsion of the so-called “Guinea worm”. The leaf is used for external use by virtue of its antioxidant, emollient and soothing properties which make the skin soft and elastic.

FRUIT PULP

In traditional medicine the pulp finds use as febrifuge, painkiller, antidiarrhoeal/antidysenteric drug and in treatment of smallpox and measles.
Moreover, the pulp together with the seeds and bark is commonly used as antidote against poisoning from strophanthin thanks to the presence of an alkaloid: adansonine. By virtue of the lubricating, binding and diluting properties related to the presence of pectin and glucides, Baobab pulp has recently been used as hydrophilic matrix in pharmaceutical formulations of paracetamol and theophylline sustained-release tablets (Download Article ). The pulp is considered a radical treatment for infantile diarrhoea.

Baobab fruit pulp has a high concentration of vitamin C varying between 2500 and 3000 mg/kg. The trees tested for content of vitamin C in Mali in 1994 reconfirmed their values in vitamin content also in 1997 and 1998.

Nutritional properties of Baobab fruit pulp

100 g of Baobab fruit bulb contains 75.6% total glucides, 2.3% protein and a very low content of lipids, equal to 0.27% of total lipids. The Baobab fruit is known for its high content of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). In particular, the pulp can provide up to 300 mg of vitamin per 100 g, a quantity equal to about six times that contained in an orange. Ascorbic acid plays an extremely important role from both a nutritional and therapeutic point of view. For a long time known for its ability to prevent scurvy, vitamin C finds more and more significant use, because of its antioxidant properties and its ability to protect the organism against harm induced by free radicals. The fruit also contains appreciable quantities of other essential vitamins, such as thiamine (vitamin B1) and riboflavin (vitamin B2), essential for optimal development of the organism and for maintaining cellular integrity of the nerves, skin and ocular epithelia, and niacin (vitamin PP or B3), important to regulate many metabolic functions.

Furthermore, the fruit contributes to the injection of some essential minerals and fatty essential acids. In fact, 100 g of pulp contains on average 293 mg of calcium, 2.31 mg of potassium, 96-118 mg of phosphor and alpha-linolenic acid (27 mg of acid per gram of dry product).
The characteristic sourish taste of the pulp is due to the presence of organic acids, such as citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and succinic acid.
Owing to the nutritional properties described above, when soaking the fruit pulp in water a thirst-quenching, refreshing and nutritious drink is obtained.

Dietary fibres of Baobab fruit pulp

Baobab fruit pulp supplies a quantity of soluble (22.54%) and insoluble (22.04%) fibres which can reach up to about 45 grams per 100 grams of product. Dietary fibre has by now been established as an important component of our diet, as it can affect manifold aspects of the digestive physiology. Frequent consumption of dietary fibre associated with a diet rich in vegetables, cereals and fruit has been related to a reduction of the risk of onset of neoplasia of the digestive system, in particular colon-rectal cancer. The intake of dietary fibres by the Italian population is on average 21 g/day (of which about 1/3 soluble) with variations ranging between 18 g/day in the northern regions and 22 g/day in the central-southern regions. The ideal level of dietary fibre intake has not been defined, but it is now commonly accepted that fibres are an essential part of a healthy and balanced diet. A diet of foods rich in fibres has also been related to a reduction in the risk of developing various organic disorders, such as constipation and overweight. Insoluble fibres are not assimilated by the intestine and improve the intestinal passage thanks to their ability to increase the faecal mass and stimulate peristalsis. They are mainly used to combat constipation and induce a sense of fullness, which can be exploited in a low-calorie diet. Moreover, Baobab fruit pulp due to its high fibre content (soluble and insoluble) would appear to have interesting properties, at least in vitro, for stimulating growth of bacterial cultures of the intestinal microflora.

The studies carried out on the soluble fibres contained in Baobab fruit pulp, allow hypothesizing their use as prebiotic, i.e. an indigestible dietary ingredient which on the level of the large intestine selectively stimulates the growth and/or metabolic activity of a limited number of microbic groups, important for maintaining the various functions of the human organism.
Studies carried out highlight that the water-soluble fraction of the fruit pulp has stimulating effects on the growth of lactobacilli and bifidumbacteria, such as:

Bifidobacterium bifidum A3,
Bifidobacterium longum type,
Bifidobacterium infantis type,
Bifidobacterium bifidum B16.

The functional prebiotic activity of the bacteria determines:

• Improvement of the intestinal microflora balance;
• Improvement of lactose digestion;
• Prevention of diarrhoea;
• Immunostimulating activity.(Ask via mail the results)

Nutraceutic properties of Baobab fruit pulp

Anti-inflammatory, painkilling and febrifugal properties

Studies were carried out in the laboratory with the aim of analysing the biological activity of the aqueous lyophilised extract of Baobab fruit pulp. The studies conducted showed that doses between 400 and 800 mg/kg determine a marked anti-inflammatory effect and are able to reduce inflammation induced in the limb with formalin. The effect is comparable with that expounded when using a dose of phenylbutazone of 15 mg/kg used as standard. This activity may be attributed to the presence of sterols, saponins and triterpenes in the aqueous extract. Administration of 800 mg/kg of extract to mice also showed the appearance of a painkilling and febrifugal activity comparable with use of 50 mg/kg of acetylsalicylic acid taken orally. These results justify the widespread use of this plant in popular medicine as painkiller and febrifuge.

Antidiarrhoeal properties

The typical diet of indigenous African populations, in particular children, is characterised by a low-calorie, low-protein vegetable and floury diet, lacking milk, and may potentially lead to rickets and cause organic disorders such as diarrhoea and/or dysentery. The particularity of Baobab fruit pulp is that it is effective against diarrhoea. Appropriately used, it is able to act against this disorder so widely present in African countries. A study conducted on 160 children with an average age of about eight months, reports that an aqueous dispersion of Baobab fruit pulp has significant advantages compared to the traditional “WHO solution” (World Health Organization) used for rehydrating children suffering from diarrhoea. The important constituents for this activity seem to be the tannins (astringent), mucilage (wetting), cellulose, citric acid and other typical components in the fruit pulp. Another way the fruit pulp has been used in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery is by preparing decoctions or soaking the pulp in milk, which is then taken orally.

Parasiticidal activity

In the state of Bauchi in Nigeria, the Dracunculus medinensis or Guinea worm is hyperendemic. A study conducted in the field of human medicine demonstrated that patients treated with Adansonia digitata applied externally felt pain relief, and that the expulsion process of Guinea worms together with healing of the sore was accelerated.

Antimycotic, antiviral and antimicrobic activity

In a study conducted on the antimycotic activity of some medicinal plant extracts, it was highlighted that the methanol extract of Adansonia digitata performs an antifungal activity against Microsporum canis, Epidermophiton floccosum and Tricophiton rubrum.
It also proved to be a source rich in substances which perform antiviral activities (Herpex simplex 1 & 2, Vesicular stomatitis and Poliovirus) and antimicrobic activities (Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus cereus and Candida albicans).

Antioxidant activity

Recent studies have shown that the leaf and the fruit of the Baobab have a marked antioxidant activity, both water-soluble and fat-soluble, preventing and combating the formation of free radicals. Download the Article published on Acta Phy., 2002, from Ambrosialab webSite

The Biological Chip in our Cells

Revolutionary results of modern genetics

by Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf

Light is in principle the oldest and most important food of the world, and still in addition - understood as electromagnetic wave - a perfect storage medium.

We know today that life in the universe is a process which is always swiming against the river. Physics predicts that everything in nature is going towards a condition of a thermal equilibrium. With every energy consuming process always also warmth is produced, which cannot be completely reconverted into work energy. This is well-known to each power station operator.

The universe favours disorder and decay rather than order and structure.

In such an environment an organism can temporarily exist only because it constantly supplies new order structures to its body using energy , briefly said: by taking up food regularly.
The physical alone demands a parasitic mechanism for survival.

For this the plants found the simplest and most direct way. With help of their leaf pigment chlorophyll they developed a procedure, in order to produce sugar from carbon dioxide of air and water using light. Plants thus predominantly nourish themselves from light. They take up energy and order condition from light particles (photons), which they integrate into their organism, thus robbing them their freedom of movement and building up own order conditions of their bodies again and again.

The animals and humans however have a metabolism which is based not on chlorophyll, but on haemoglobin, the red blood coloring material. They therefore cannot convert light to food by photosynthesis, but have to nourish themselves eating plants or other animals. They are thus rather parasites of the plant world, which also could exist without us - we however not without them. We should always keep this in mind, when we clear further forests from pure profit thinking.
"Dead" food is food that has lost the ability to store or just lost its light

Light nevertheless plays a crucial role for animal and human life too. Not only, because we become depressive if we do not expose our body with sufficient light (especially in winter).

German bio physicist Fritz Albert Popp investigates for years the phenomenon of biophotons, a natural light radiation, which is emitted from each living organism. This bio photon radiation is very weak and may be made visible only by substantial reinforcement in the darkroom.

Popp and its coworkers made the amazing observation that the radiant emittance was always stronger at the beginning, briefly after they brought a tissue probe into the darkroom, and then slowly decreased to a stable value, the normal bio photon radiation.

That means, that our body cannot only emit light, but also may take up light from the environment, which is naturally in the darkroom no longer possible, whereby it comes to the observed decrease. Thus something inside our body may store light energy, which is a proof that we nourish ourselves to a small percentage directly of light too, independently of the food which we eat.
Not only store light energy from external sources, but ala Dan Winter, we can make our own light at the cellular level, hence removing the need for a parasitic mechanism. This would help explain the "Living on Light" folks who eat and drink nothing yet thrive. Also sheds interesting light on the man in India who lives by looking into the sun every morning at certain times as opposed to eating or drinking.

It turned out soon that the looked for light memory of our body is nothing else than the DNA. It is well known that the DNA is also most deeply involved into the bio photon radiation.

From the characteristic form of this giant molecule - a wound double helix - the DNA represents an ideal electromagnetic antenna. On one hand it is elongated and thus a blade antenna, which can take up very well electrical pulses. On the other hand, seen from above it has form of a ring and thus is a very good magnetical antenna.
Just antenna or also creator and projector?

What happens to the electromagnetic energy, which the DNA takes up? It is stored quite easily inside it, bringing the molecule – simplified spoken – into oscillation. Physically we call such a system a harmonic oscillator .

Such an oscillator of course with the time loses its energy, as is observable also in the darkroom, and the time, which this procedure needs, is a measure for the ability of energy storage. Physicists call this measure resonator quality .

Fig. 1: The double helix of the DNA is at the same time ring and blade antenna

It turned out that the quality of the DNA resonator is by a multiple higher as in oscillators, which physicists are able to construct in their laboratories from technical devices. That means, the oscillation losses are unbelievably small. This confirms a long-preserved assumption: The DNA is an organic superconductor, which can still work in addition at normal body temperature! In this field science may learn still infinitely much from nature.

For example the ability of superconductors to store light was just discovered in recent time. That sounds perhaps surprising, but you should keep yourself clear before eyes the fact that light, although well known to all of us is not anything actually seizable. Light is pure electromagnetic energy, divided into small quanta, so-called photons, which – like the name already says – constantly move with speed of light. We may destroy photons by certain particle reactions, i.e. transfer their energy completely to other subjects. To "close up" a photon however, no one was able to do so far.

At the Rowland research institute in Cambridge, USA, now the Harvard physicist Lene Vestergaard Hau found out that laser light can be braked when crossing sodium atoms with nearly -270 degrees up to a speed of approximately 60 kilometers per hour. That is approximately the speed, with which we move forward with our cars on highways. For light particles it it is an absolute "snail speed". (the speed of light in the vacuum amounts to nevertheless 300.000 kilometers per second!)
Identifying with the pure self ("light") and entering "The Vacuum" the key to time travel, inner space, dimension hopping, healing, etc etc... ? !

Basic condition for this brake effect is that the medium must change into a very exotic state of aggregation, a so-called Bose Einstein condensate, which likewise includes the ability for superconduction too.

Already for a long time we know that the constance of speed of light, which represents a border in the universe according to Einstein for all subjects, applies only to the vacuum. During the passage of matter, approximately of water or glass, the speed of light is already lower. The disadvantage is that also the light itself is absorbed at the same time by the surrounding medium. From the water we know it that it becomes darker with increasing depth.

Not so with superconductors. Although the sodium atoms braked the light much more strongly than each conventional material, they remained transparent. No losses arose.

Such possibilities can become very interesting in the future, if one wants to store not only the energy of the light (as is the case for instance with the solar collector), but the light as a whole with all its characteristics e.g. the ability to be a storage medium.
One secret is in the Sun...

Superconducting computer chips will be thus capable to store light and to use it thereby for data storage. Nature invented that everything, as we see, already billions of years ago.
Hence "past life" recall, akashic record reading etc

We humans carry thus in each cell of our body a technical high speed equipment: a microchip with 3 Gigabits storage capability, which takes up electromagnetic information from the environment, stores it and - possibly in changed form - also is able to emit.
Yes, but again I think we have the ability to create our own "electromagnetic information" as well as taking it up from the environment

The technical data of the DNA as oscillator antenna are quickly determined. We know that the molecule would be - stretched out - about two meters long. Thus it has a natural frequency of 150 megahertz. Again a remarkable number, because this frequency is exactly in the range our human radar -, for telecommunications and microwave engineering. We use exactly the same frequency range for communication and detection purposes. A coincidence?
Hence "thoughts are things" and the mechanism for telepathy.

In addition the DNA may obviously store all harmonic waves of 150 megahertz too, thus of course also visible light. The 22th octave of 150 megahertz lies straight in this range. The color of this light radiation is by the way blue. Is it a coincidence that the solar radiation is broken by the terrestrial atmosphere just in such a way that we live in a world with blue sky?
Hence the phenomenon of auras, the connection of Gold to DNA (Gold )

So, does the DNA only take up the light energy, or stores and/or again emits information contained in the electromagnetic oscillation of the light by its radiant emittance? Is the DNA a further communication organ of our body, and may it perhaps even be manipulated by electromagnetic radiation?
In addition is DNA a light factory?

This is actual the case. Independent of the biochemical function as a protein producer the DNA is a complicated electronic biological chip that communicates with its environment, as latest research from Russia found out.

In the year 1990 a group of scientists got together in Moscow, for whom the study of the human Genoms was too much reduced exclusively to biochemistry. They had recognized that by this viewpoint, which is based rather on orthodox dogmatism than on objective scientific realizations a lot of information remains hidden to us.

Highly-qualified scientists belong to this group, to a large extent from the Russian Academy of Sciences. Beside physicists of the renowned Lebedev institute also molecular biologists participate, bio physicists, geneticists, embryologists and linguists. Director of the project is Dr. Pjotr Garjajev, a bio physicist and molecular biologist. He is member of the Russian Academy of Sciences as well as of the Academy of Sciences in New York.

In the eight years since establishment of the project the Muscovite group came to revolutionary realizations, which let our understanding of the DNA and the human genetics appear in a completely new light.

For example we speak today nearly naturally of the »genetic code«, thus of a systematic information coding. But the past genetics stopped here and settled the remainder of the work exclusive with the help of chemistry, instead of consulting also language experts.

Differently in Moscow. Here, as already mentioned, the genetic code was submitted an exact investigation by linguists too.

Linguistics is the science of the structure of languages. It investigates thereby not only the natural languages, which developed in the individual countries and cultures, but also artificial languages, which are used for example for programming computers and which were developed in the past decades systematically using linguistic realizations.

One examines semantics (theory of the meaning of the words) and language regularities like the syntax (rules for the setting up of words from letters), as well as the bases of the grammar.

If one uses these scientific realizations on the genetic code, then one recognizes that this code follows the same rules as our human languages.

Mind you: not the rules of a certain language (in this case e.g. the Russian one), but on such a fundamental level, where all existing languages of mankind have comparable structures. So it is possible to set the structure of the genetic code in relationship with each existing language of mankind.

For centuries scientists looked for the human original language - Pjotr Garjajev and his coworkers possibly found it.

We must turn around the relations: the structure of the DNA does not correspond to the human language structure, but the human languages follow the genetic code in their structure the rules! DNA and genetic code existed already for a long time, before first humans spoke an articulated word for the first time! Every human languages developed since that time followed the basic pattern, already existing in the structure of the genetic code.
Something to think about: How the quote "Emotion actually programs DNA" (Dan Winter) fits in with language and its relationship to /reflection of DNA.

You should not misunderstand this realization: It does not concern here an orthodox materialistic conception of the world, according to which the ability for speaking would be only a secondary effect of proteins, which are put on in some genes. The arrangement of the elementary bases in the DNA follows a grammar, an immaterial plan, which is similar to the structure of our languages.

The fact that no physical procedure is concerned here is proved by the next discovery of Garjajev's team: The analogy between the structure of the DNA and the human language is most pronounced just in the parts of the giant molecule, which are not used for protein synthesis!

For a long time one knows that only about 10 per cent of the DNA molecule are used for setting up genes. The remaining 90 per cent have a function unknown to classical science and were designated so far as »silent DNA«.

Garjajev's realization thus is a revolution for the entire area of genetics. Examining only the well-known genes calling the remainder »silent DNA«, you will miss the most important facts! It is paradoxical: just the »silent DNA« - figurativy spoken - speaks a language!

In various experiments the Muscovites group could prove that these extensive codes in the DNA are not used by any means for the synthesis of a so far unknown quantity of components of our body, as it is the case with the genes. This code is rather actually used for communication, more exactly - for hypercommunication.
How do other dimensional aspects of DNA fit here?

Hypercommunication is a data exchange on DNA level using genetic code. Since this code possesses a structure, which is the basis of all human languages, also higher information may be transported, which is able to come up to human consciousness and to be interpreted there.

Garjajev and its colleague continued still another step. They analyzed the vibration response of the DNA and found out that it follows quite complicated laws, which are however well known in the physics for a long time.

Those are the laws of nonlinear waveform-shaping, known since center of 19 century as so-called Soliton waves. They are known from observations, but so complicated that they may be calculated only with modern computers. Soliton waves are temporally extraordinarily stable and may store information in this way for a long time.

Summarizing all these realizations, one comes to a perfectly new form of the genetic engineering, possibly even to a new gene therapy.

Concerning this Pjotr Garjajev writes: »The majority tries to understand the principles of the DNA biological computer by appointing oneself exclusively to the DNA Watson Crick Chargaff rules: A-T, G-C. That is correct, but it is so not enough! The DNA chromosomale continuum in living systems has wave attributes, which lets us derive the unknown, a computer-similar program for the setting up of the organisms. The well-known genetic code is a code for protein synthesis and nothing further. Chromosomes in vivo work as solitonic holographic computers under use of the endogenous DNA laser radiation.«

This sounds like science of the 21st century and probably is. But don't forget: Garjajevs statements are founded scientifically in theory and experiment.

The consequences of these realizations are as incomprehensible as simple and logical: If one modulates a laser beam by a frequency sample, then one may affect with this the information of the DNA waves and so the genetic information itself.
Use coherent emotion to program your DNA and become laser-like with your focus/intention!

For this one does not even need to decode the language of the pairs of bases in laborious work, in order to formulate from it artificially genetic information, but one can use quite easily words and sentences of the human language! The bases of the language structures are, as we in now know, the same.
Couple those words with emotion and you have the key to "magic spells", prayer, affirmations... and telepathy?

Also this astonishing conclusion the Muscovites group of researchers could prove already experimentally. DNA substance in vivo (i.e. in the living fabric, not in the test tube) reacts to language-modulated laser light, even to radio waves, if one keeps the correct resonant frequencies.

In this way unknown possibilities are opened to the medicine. One may design devices, with which through suitably modulated radio or light radiation cell metabolism may be affected, even the repair of genetic defects is possible, without all the risks and side effects of the classical-biochemical proceeding.

Garjajevs group of researchers could already prove that with this method chromosomes may be repaired, which were damaged e.g. by x-rays. The effects on medical therapy possibilities of the coming century are immense: one can develop devices for new, subtle cancer therapy, also for the treatment of aids and for the slowing down of the aging process.
Like Clark's zapper to Rife technology

Already today devices are in use also in German university clinics, with whose assistance cancer patients are exposed to frequency-modulated magnetic field irradiation. The results are promising.

We see here that the objectives of the Muscovites researchers deviate from those of the western human Genome Project in principle. While in the western science the trend is to develop new chemical medicines from as much as possible items of information from the genes - a procedure, which is however not free from substantial risks, a potential giant business -, the Russian scientists have a rather holistic understanding of the DNA leading to the development of therapy devices, which may replace some expensive and dangerous medicine in the long term.

Quite beside from the new wave theory of the genetic code still some further interesting facts follow. For example one knows for a long time that almost any bodily function, particularly also in the metabolism and in the hormone production, can be affected by suggestive strength of the spoken word, although they run perfectly autonomously, thus under elimination of the conscious will, whereupon the impact of the medical hypnosis is based. These facts are well-known, however could not be explained so far scientifically.

The medical model of the psycho neuro immunology led back the effect of hypnotic suggestions so far exclusively to control mechanisms in the brain, particularly in the regions, which are assumed to contain subconscious layers.

Now it looks that it is much simpler: the DNA is able to react directly to the spoken word.

Also different therapy procedures, whose impact was inexplicable so far, as for instance the Chinese acupunkture, may be explained with help of the DNA wave theory in Garjajev's opinion scientifically.

If we summarize the research results of Professor Popp and Professor Garjajev, then a remarkable connection results: Light actually represents an important factor in the power supply of our hereditary molecule, the DNA. It provides healthy functioning of all procedures in our cells. However it cannot form a complete replacement for material food alone.
Until we cultivate the ability to kick the DNA into gear as a light factory, producing as much as the body needs and no less?

The information, which will transfer via the light, is much more important. The DNA communicates in this way - perhaps with other organisms or with a superordinate plan - which a morphogenetic field, which could be proven by the research in Russia for the first time scientifically.

In this way the genetic information of each cell can employ comparisons of their actual condition with a specified condition each time and arrange possibly necessary repairs. This can prevent or at least stop diseases such as cancer or aids, in addition, slow down the age process.

The modern wave genetics is one of the key technologies for the coming millennium, and we can be strained, what science will discover in this area in the very near future.

Thank you!

More Coconut oil recipes - I can't get enough!

More Coconut oil recipes - I can't get enough!

Use coconut oil to fry or cook with on high heat, to make stir fries, fritters, fried potatoes or eggs. Coconut oil can be heated to temperatures higher than most other oils including olive oil without oxidizing. Add it to vegetable soup, in place of butter or margarine in baked goods, plain on crackers and in salad dressings. When making creams or other water and oil preparations, melt the oil so it is liquid, then drizzle the oil into the watery mixture as it is blending in the blender in order to make an emulsion. Otherwise the oil and water separate.

Update yourself on the medicinal properties of coconut oil including its use for weight loss, thyroid nurturing, skin afflictions and candida yeast killing.

I use only Tropical Traditions coconut oil because I like their antique and vitality preserving production methods – plus they are the only brand I’ve tasted that makes me go WOW!

All recipes personally tried and enjoyed by myself and my friends! Critters like it too, try adding some to their food.

Cococcino
Your best cup of organic coffee or espresso
1 tsp – 1 tbsp coconut oil
Whole cane sugar to taste
Rice milk to taste

Mix it all together and froth like a cappuccino! Sprinkle with cinnamon. If you’re missing an espresso machine, no worries, just make the cashew coconut cream and use that in your coffee or chai tea in place of milk or cream.

A Rich Toast
Mix hardened coconut oil with a little honey or rice malt to form a paste. Spread the paste thick on slices of whole grain, sourdough toast. Sprinkle with lots of cinnamon.

Berry Cocao Booster shake
400ml Homemade Almond milk
16 Fresh Raspberries or 2-3 tbls Black Cherry concentrate (Bernard Jensen's)
2 tbs freshly powdered cocao bean pieces (Nibs)
1.5 tbs Agave nectar
5 capsules of Maca (opened and emptied into the drink) or 1 tsp Maca powder
1/4 tsp Ginseng powder
2 tbs Tropical Traditions Coconut oil
4 drops absolute Vanilla (or use vanilla extract, but a larger quantity)
Pinch of Himalayan salt

Blend all ingredients well in a blender. Put in the freezer for at least an hour to make it a refreshing summer cold. Or warm gently (don't boil) if winter is your current season! Serves 1, and don't forget to chew!
Inspired by the book Naked Chocolate

Raspberry Coconut Ice Cream (No dairy and yummy!)

1/2 cup Cashew milk (Soak whole, raw cashews in water 4 hours, dump water and blend with equal parts fresh water)
1 cup Raspberry puree
1/2 cup Tropical Traditions Coconut oil, melted
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp raw cane sugar (if raspberry puree is unsweetened)

Blend all ingredients except coconut oil in a blender. Slowly drizzle the melted coconut oil into the blender while the blender is running so that it emulsifies well with the mixture. Run this mixture through an ice cream maker until done. If you have no ice cream maker, try putting it like this into the freezer, or alternately, fill ice cube trays with the liquid mixture then freeze and blend the cubes together to make ice cream when ready to eat.

Cashew Coconut Cream
Ingredients:
1/2 c raw cashews or cashew pieces (soaked for 6 hours prior, throw out soak water)
1/2 c distilled water
1/2 c melted Tropical Traditions coconut oil
1 T 100% pure maple syrup
1/2 t pure vanilla
Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Blend cashews in water to form a thick cream. Slowly add the oil in a fine stream until cream thickens, blend in maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Chill and serve. (Cream will thicken substantially when chilled.)

I used a Vita-mix, so the mixture emulsified pretty well. Once in the fridge for a while it gets pretty thick, like ice cream thickness.

Great on pie, in coffee as cream, a dip for fresh fruit and a spread on toast.

Super Coconut Food

Because coconut oil hardens at temperatures less than 76 F, it can be used as an agglomerating agent for just about everything if the temperature is low enough. Here’s a recipe for a superfood, full of vitamins, minerals and feel good food chemicals that can be eaten daily as a nutrient boost to your daily diet.

Combine these dry ingredients:
1Tbs Maca powder
1Tbs Ground Hemp seed
2 Tbs Ground cocoa Nibs (cocoa bean pieces, grind in coffee grinder)
½ Tbs Cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
1 Tbs Spirulina powder

With these wet ingredients:
1 Tbs Raw honey
20 drops absolute Vanilla
3 Tbs melted Coconut oil

Blend together into a paste. Shape the paste into a shallow pan and place in the fridge to harden. Each day eat a block the size of your preference.

Whole Wheat Pastry Crust

1 1/2 c. whole wheat or other whole grain flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. hardened Coconut oil
3 tbsp. Hot water

Mix flour, salt and coconut oil together with a fork. Add the hot water and mix until the dough is somewhat wet. Add more water if the dough is too fatty. Roll out on a flat and floured surface to form the shape and size crust you want. Fill or bake alone until brown.

Crumbly Apple pie

This is RICH! Less of a dessert and more of a meal!

Crust
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oat flour (freshly ground oat groats in a coffee grinder)
1 tsp marine salt
3 tbsp ice cold distilled water
½ cup ground almonds
½ cup melted Coconut oil
2 Tbs ground cocoa Nibs (cocoa bean pieces, grind in coffee grinder)

Filling
8 – 10 apples, cored, ½ of them peeled, and chopped in medium pieces
cinnamon to taste
nutmeg to taste
Bring these ingredients to a boil in a pan, then mix into the apples and spices:
½ cup butter
3 tbs whole wheat flour
½ sucanat (whole dried cane juice)
¼ cup water
1tsp vanilla

Mix all crust ingredients together, then shape to the bottom and sides of the pie pan (glass or ceramic best). There will be some left over, to be sprinkled over the apples once the filling has been added. Fill pie, sprinkle the rest of the crust over the top of the pie then bake about an hour or until the apples are soft and the crust is brown at 170 C.

Sprinkle ½ cup shaved or finely chopped 85% dark chocolate over the whole pie once the pie is removed from the oven. To make it really rich, serve with cashew coconut cream!

What is INTENTION?

2006-02-20T10:25:00.000-08:00

Thank you Paula Peterson! This article gave me an idea on making one of the treatments I do more efficient. Now putting that idea into practice, waiting on the results…

What is INTENTION?

What does it take to manifest our true heart's desire and live according to our soul's purpose?

For the most part, the answer lives in the original meaning of intention: "the act of stretching out" or the "state of mind in which an act is done."

When we create, when we manifest, we are in a state of "intending". The words intention and attention emerged out of the same ancient root word and are similar in nature. We can't have one without the other. When we create, it is the focus of our attention and the power of our intention that makes it happen.

Through intention, we tend (pay attention) to the thoughts, feelings, action and form that relate to the ideas, wishes, dreams, desires and visions that we want to manifest.

As an analogy, it's similar to tending a garden: if we want to have a lush and healthy garden with beautiful plants and flowers, then we use our attention to focus on all the ways in which we can bring this about.

To grow your beautiful garden, you take the time to find the healthiest materials in which to build it: healthy seeds, good water, nutrient-rich soil, healthy organic fertilizers, optimum growing climate and environment. Then you add your focus, physical efforts, attitude, patience and time. The entire combination can be summed up into one word: attention!

Through the focus of our attention we make it happen. The kind of attention you put into your garden will make all the difference in the world. If a garden lacks attention it soon withers and dies, becomes wildly overgrown or the weeds take over.

Where is Your Attention?

Is the larger portion of your attention on the recent argument you had with your spouse ... going over and over the details of what was said or done?

Or are you worrying about the mistakes you made at work and how it may affect your reputation ... or promotion ... or raise?

Do you dwell on a current health issue and how it keeps you from doing this or that?

The list of situations is endless. Furthermore, when strong emotions accompany our attention, it increases the magnetic power of our focus a thousand-fold. Consequently, we will attract more situations that elicit the same kind of emotional response --- which in turn triggers the corresponding thoughts and beliefs about our self, the events of our lives and the world around us.

On the other hand, when our attention is accompanied by inspiration, enthusiasm, passion and a positive outlook ... then that, too, becomes a powerful magnet that will continue to attract the situations that will produce an increase in enjoyable and positive opportunities.

What kind of attention do you place upon the experiences you want to happen in your life? If your hopes and dreams of success in certain areas of your life are peppered with frequent doubt, fear, restriction, worry, unworthiness - then you will sabotage the outcome. Either your success will be delayed by months or years ... or it won't happen at all.

Some aspects about our life are easier to focus attention on ... and wa-la! ... it becomes almost instantly manifest. Other aspects are harder and take longer. Perhaps, it's because most of us were not trained to use the power of our minds to focus our attention in this way. Instead, most of us were taught from childhood on to use our minds and attention to memorize facts from a book, follow the rules, be like everyone else, be compliant, listen and obey the authorities, etc.

Few of us were trained to freely use the power of our minds and attention in creative fashion. Therefore, the neuronal pathways of our brains are deeply etched along the lines of following, obeying and memorizing. Consequently, we know those "trails" pretty well and they've become a habit. In fact, we know them so well, that we walk those same paths over and over in our minds in a rather unconscious manner.

How many times have you driven the same road nearly every day around the same time and not even notice the scenery? You may have even arrived at your destination and not remember much about how you got there or what you saw along the way. During those times, your subconscious mind had taken over the wheel while your thoughts and attention were elsewhere. This is very similar to how most of us navigate through life: the habits of thinking and behaving become so deeply etched in our brains that we can do most of it subconsciously without paying much attention.

But what about the unique and the unusual; the different and the new; the stretch beyond the known into the unknown and the stretch beyond the mundane into the mystical?

Few of us have had anyone train us or encourage us to venture into those realms. Perhaps this is why those particular neuronal pathways of our brain are not very well developed, nor worn away into familiar trails. Since the vast majority of humanity tend to follow along and pretty much do the same things over and over ... it becomes a real task of courage and perseverance to try something new and forge a new trail for ourselves.

In this respect, a new path - like a new endeavor - can seem daunting. It can, for a while, be more of a relief to stay on the same old familiar path and be surrounded by the same old scenery: nothing new, nothing threatening, and not much change.

But like a tight bud that must finally heed the urgings of its fundamental nature and burst forth into flowering new growth, we, too, must finally heed the fundamental yearnings of our deeper nature to move forward and break free of the old, limiting habits ... otherwise we wither and spiral downward into depression, despair and often illness.

It has been proven through clinical research that loss of mental clarity, early senility, dementia and other illnesses of the mind - like Alzheimers - are greatly aggravated by sticking with familiar habits for years and years without introducing much of anything new into ones life.

Personal Experience

From personal experience, I have seen how applying intention consciously in certain areas of life have worked extremely well while in other areas it's harder.

It seems that the stronger our beliefs are in some areas, the deeper those pathways run through our brains until some of them become menacing trenches. Picture yourself in a deep trench where the only way out is to have someone reach down and pull you out or they throw in a rope or a ladder! Sadly, many will stay in that trench for a very long time before calling for help.

When it came to my own experience of overcoming a major obstacle, it was the biggest challenge in my life at that time: to heal myself of serious, chronic, life-threatening illness.

How was it that I was able to heal myself of these ailments that severely limited me for the first 40 years of my life?

It all boils down to intention and the kind of attention I put into healing and achieving health. My success in this area came about because I made it a priority in my life. Achieving health became far more important than anything else: it was more important than money, more important than a relationship, more important than owning a house, more important than having fame or owning all those things that many of us were taught were most important - but never really are.

It took a lot of hard work and a colossal amount of my attention. Yet because I was deeply dedicated, my intention and the amount of attention I put into it became a magnet for anything and everything that could help me achieve it: the right people miraculously came into my life as guides; the perfect books appeared; the most appropriate classes and workshops showed up; the finest health practitioners showed up; the best opportunities for growth and change presented themselves to me.

After years of determination, perseverance and applying the knowledge gleaned from many sources I now have a level of health and vitality that I thought would never be possible for me. I persevered in spite of set backs, back slides and slow progress. In spite of the hurtles, my efforts totally paid off.

Now I'm learning to apply this same kind of determination into other areas of my life. Its a challenge for sure, because those ol' neuronal pathways are pretty deeply etched in some areas. But like all good things worth striving for, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

We Are Creating All the Time

Most of us are unaware that we are creating all the time - every minute of every day. Our attention is always working and focused on SOME thing. In fact, wherever our attention happens to be in any given moment, that's where the energy goes.

Think of it this way: your attention is like a magnet. And like a magnet, your attention attracts certain images, events, situations, beliefs and thoughts.

Do you believe that BMW owners are always reckless drivers? Then guess what? You'll likely attract all the reckless BMW drivers on the road to prove your point!

I knew a man who strongly believed just that ... and guess what? He got to prove his point quite frequently - which gave him the opportunity to verbally vent any accumulated hostilities through some shocking language (I had to cover my ears!). Although I was a passenger in the same car, I never saw the reckless BMW drivers. What I did see were people driving BMWs ... however, what he perceived as horrible reckless driving was not evident to me. I simply was unable to see it even though I was looking out at the same scene at the same time.

Standing next to a woman in a workshop while we're both looking straight at the speaker, I heard this woman complaining offensively about the speaker's attitude, body language and choice of words. Although I was looking at the speaker at exactly the same moment the woman was making her assessment, none of her observations were evident to me. I wondered what she was seeing that I could not see at all. Where was this woman's attention? Did she tend to dwell on some other incident - like an unpleasant interaction with a spouse? a sibling? a parent?

The more unconscious a person is about why they do what they do the more often their perceptions are skewed: they are simply not aware that their observations are being filtered through some old habits of thinking.

What you intend will surely come about ... either consciously or unconsciously. What ever holds your attention will surely hold you. Your attention and the amount of emotional force behind it gives it the power to become form. It MUST manifest itself - 'cuzz that's the way things work around here!

We can either create through unconscious intention or we can create through conscious intention. The choice is ours.

By increasing our awareness of our thinking habits and questioning ourselves on why we do what we do - we increase our ability to consciously direct the power of our intention. The intention we hold behind any act is the key to the outcome we will attract.

So be careful what you wish for ... it will likely come true!

Feed a Fever!

2006-02-05T05:58:00.000-08:00

Feed a Fever!

Fever is nature's defense against infection
Those with fever have the corresponding illness for a shorter duration that those who try to lower a fever with drugs
There is no clear fever threshold for seizures during fever
Febrile convulsions occur in only about 2-5% of febrile children and 80 - 85% of these are benign
Using anti-febrile drugs like aspirin does not protect against convulsions and creates opportunity for toxicity
See the pdf file for more fever info!

From HerbalLegacy.com : See link for fever encouraging treatments
"Fever is not a disease but a condition in the body wherein the balance of circulation has become disturbed. This is nature's way of trying to burn out the toxic poisons. When the body becomes exposed to excessive chilling or dampness, the capillaries near the surface contract and the pores close by becoming obstructed with body waste matter. This results in a containment of body heat and a sudden rise of body temperature. In fever the natural body function is to increase the heat to a point wherein the thick glutinous and fibrinous matters loading and congesting the system are made liquid enough to pass through the fine and delicate excretory membranes and tubules"

Dr. Christopher's cold sheet treatment

How I do The "COLD SHEET" Treatment, explained by Espen

The "COLD SHEET" Treatment is several hundreds of years OLD, NATURAL and POWERFUL Healing Method

By inducing an Artificial Fever known as HYPERTHERMIA, you can cure many diseases!

It is one of the most powerful of all cancer treatments!

HYPERTHERMIA can be used with Common Health Problems, such as Flus and Colds, and DEFINITELY should be used with MORE SERIOUS Pathogenic Disease Processes, such as Pneumonia, Cancer, and AIDS!!

It is important to do all 8 steps!

Espen:

Here is exactly what I do, when doing "COLD SHEET" Treatment.
My wife is helping me. You will have to have someone to help you, it is too complicated to do it alone!

It shuld be done inside house, and you definitively need a bath.

STEP 1:

COLD Enema to clear LOOSE Fecal Matter out of my Colon, before I begin "COLD SHEET"

I add Herbs to the Water, such as Catnip or Red Raspberry.

A COLD Enema causes the Rectal Area to contract, which HELPS to RETAIN the Fluid LONGER, before I EXPEL the Herbal Tea and the LOOSE Fecal Matter.

STEP 2:

After expelling the Herbal Tea, the next Step of the "COLD SHEET" Treatment is the "GARLIC INJECTION"!

I take Rectal Syringe from the Drug Store (a wider tube), that allows not only water, but also small particles of garlic to enter colon.

I take 8-10 LARGE Organic Garlic Cloves in a Blender with 50% Apple Cider Vinegar and 50% clean Water.

Dr. Richard Schulze says it's like NAPALM in your Rectum!

I put this Solution in with the Rectal Syringe, but I get it in QUICKLY ALL at once, because once it is inside, I don't feel like keeping it there ... I want it out !

"It's POWERFUL and it BURNS!

I RUN to the Toilet, but it doesn't ALL come out.

In about 2 minutes, the Burning and the Cramping go away.

STEP 3:

I take a HOT Bath, which is as HOT as I can support, without burning my skin!

Before I enter the Tub, my wife place the following Herbs in the HOT Water:

1 oz. or more of Cayenne Pepper
1 oz. or more of Ginger, and
1 oz. or more of dry Mustard. Get GOOD HIGH-POTENCY Mustard, since MOST of the American Mustard is quite WEAK!

I coat my Genitals with PLENTY of Vaseline for Protection, because Olive Oil ALONE can't do the Job! The Cayenne, Ginger, and Mustard, that I use in the "COLD SHEET" Treatment are NOT LOOSE in the Water, but are put in a VERY LARGE (made-up) Tea Bag. (The burn becomes intolerable if the herbs are used loose in the water! - lovebean)

If you put them in LOOSE, you'll plug up the Drain and create a REAL MESS!

I use a small cotton pillow case, and I put all herbs inside, and inside hot bath water.

Squeezing it several times for as long as 10 minutes will make more of it get into the water.

The Water turns a Yellowy Orange, and the scent is very strong!

These HOT Herbs HELP to induce HYPERTHERMIA.

To further ACCELERATE HYPERTHERMIA, I drink HOT Herbal Tea, while I am inside, in the Bath.

According to Dr. Schulze, "For adults, the BEST bitter Diaphoretic (fever-inducing) Tea is Yarrow, which was what Dr. Christopher suggested."

I prefer Ginger instead, since it is a taste, that I and most People KNOW and LIKE!

Ginger really ACTIVATES the Digestive System, makes you SWEAT, and it's also readily AVAILABLE! I'm always looking for the Herbs, that really WORK and are EASY-to-get at your local Health Food Store.

You can even get minced, dehydrated Garlic Cloves, if you have NO other choice. Now you've got the Garlic for the Rectal Injection, and everything that you will need for the "COLD SHEET" Treatment, from the Grocery Store. Drink as many Cups of the Herbal Tea as you can get down, but the MINIMUM is 6!

If you get LIGHT-HEADED and you feel like FAINTING, have your Helper place a COLD Towel or Washcloth on your Forehead. Also, there are 2 Herbal Tinctures (Home-Made), that you should ALWAYS have on hand: CAYENNE and LOBELIA!

CAYENNE PREVENTS People from fainting and LOBELIA STOPS FULL Body Spasms, that can occur SOMETIMES!

When I get to the Point, where I know that I can't stand it 1 Minute MORE, my wife makes sure I stay for about 5 MORE minutes!

STEP 4:

Now, My wife helps me out of the Tub, and then wrap me in the "COLD SHEET"!.

This is a Double bed-size, clean, White Cotton Sheet (NOT Synthetic Fabric), that has been soaking in a Bucket of 20 Pounds of ICE, so that this "COLD SHEET" is definitely ICE-COLD!

I don't even NOTICE it though, because I am in ANOTHER World!

"COLD SHEET" signals the Body to raise it's Temperature even HIGHER!

The sides of the Sheet are then pinned, so that I can NOT throw it off.

This "COLD SHEET" draws-out the POISONS and TOXINS, that have come to my Skin's Surface as a result of the HOT Bath!

STEP 5:

Now, my wife helps me go into Bed.

The Bed has been prepared by putting a Plastic or Rubber Sheet over the Mattress, then a Cotton, Wool, Linen, or Silk Sheet (ANY Material that BREATHES - NO Synthetics) is laid over that. I lie down, while wrapped in the "COLD SHEET" and another dry, Non-Synthetic Sheet is put over me, and then I am covered with Non-Synthetic Blankets.

STEP 6:

Lastly, with my Feet uncovered, my Feet and Ankles are oiled with Olive Oil, a thick Paste of Vaseline (VEGELATUM - Vegetable-based Substitute is preferable) is then applied and the Garlic Paste.

Garlic Paste is made with Vinegar, is applied to the Bottoms of my Feet to help get RID of ANY Infections in the System.

I use 2-inch gauze or torn, White Cotton Strips as a Bandage to hold the Garlic Paste on the Sole of the Foot. White, Cotton or Wool Socks are placed over the bandaged Feet.

Then, my feet are again COVERED with the "COLD SHEET".

The bottom of this "COLD SHEET" is pinned, so I am in a WET Sack. Then the DRY Sheets and Blankets are pulled over my Feet for WARMTH.

If you have to urinate, then just do it where you are, and do NOT take the "COLD SHEET" OFF!!

The Urine won't HURT anything, and it's NOT worth being REWRAPPED in the "COLD SHEET" and then having the Garlic Paste REAPPLIED!

STEP 7:

I stay in the Sheets OVERNIGHT and, by the Morning, the Sheets have turned Multi-Colored from ALL of the POISONS and TOXINS, that have been drawn OUT of the body.

Dr. Christopher said that sometimes the Sheets turn ALL Shades of Purple, Yellow, Black and Green. These are the different POISONS and TOXINS, that have been in the Person for Years - sometimes for the Person's WHOLE Life!

STEP 8:

In the Morning, I get brushing with a sponge from my wife.

I love this part.

I take 1 Part each of WARM Apple Cider Vinegar and Distilled Water to get the remaining POISONS and TOXINS out of the Pores.

Then, I get dressed into CLEAN Clothes and I am back to Bed.

I only eat Fruit and Vegetable Juices, Herbal Teas, and lots of Distilled Water for the next 3 days, s to provide a TOTAL Cleansing.

Juice fasting is something that youy should definitevly try before you try hypertermia!

Squat on the Pot for Health

2006-02-04T09:25:00.000-08:00

Those who aspire to longevity
Must keep their bowels clean;
Those who wish to delay death
must keep their bowels unobstructed.

Taoist writer Ko Hung

Have you ever bonded with the bears and mountain lions by leaving your own scat track in your local forest? If you have it was probably one of the most satisfying and facile releases you’ve ever had. Not only because you were miles from a toilet and the sense of urgency prompted you to use the forest instead, but also because you were probably squatting during the procedure.

In 1998 I visited England for a mixed volleyball and tourist trip. While there we browsed one of the monarchy’s old castles and I remember the exhibit and story of the creation of the “first toilet”. The story went that the inventor of today’s common flush toilet was a member of the royal family who believed that royalty should be sitting on a throne even while pissing and shitting. Leave it to royalty to create one of society’s greatest bowel blockers.

While sitting on the toilet, the lower end of the colon is bent upwards, meanwhile the feces must exit downwards. This requires that when defecating, the muscles of the colon must put out an extra effort in order to evacuate the bowels. If the person already tends toward constipation and the feces are hard, this usually results in grunting and pushing, or sitting on the pot for several minutes reading while the feces come out in waves. All that pushing breaks capillaries, provokes hemorroids and the inability of the colon to evacuate all its remnants (autotoxicity follows).

Squatting on the toilet (or in the woods if you prefer) on the other hand points the colon and rectum in the downward direction, aiding the colon muscles so they don’t have to overcome gravity in order to evacuate. As a result the colon muscles don’t have to work so had and the feces exit smoothly, easily and entirely, in one movement of the colon. If you just have an inkling of a BM coming on, you’ll find that the squatting position itself will bring it on full force and allow you to evacuate fully.

When squatting on the toilet with shoes on, lift the seat and stand with one foot on each side of the rim. Squat down with your knees to your chest. Hold on to the toilet paper holder to keep your balance if you must. (I haven’t fallen in yet!) This technique is great at home, and has resolved the conundrum of sitting on a public toilet seat in case of needing to defecate.

In Europe this is easier, as many public toilets are of the Turkish style, which consists of a hole in the floor. Squatting over this type of toilet is the traditional way of using it, and indeed most of the rest of the world and the animal kingdom squats when defecating.

Yes, there are many other factors in resolving and avoiding constipation that must be taken into consideration as well: diet, exercise, the amount and type of water drank, food intolerances and gastro-intestinal function. Squatting on the toilet is one more thing that can help keep the colon clear, which helps keep the whole body blockage (disease) free.

Bassano del Grappa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Bassano del Grappa is a city in Vicenza province, region Veneto, Italy. It has 40,411 inhabitants, in 46 km² area. It bounds the communes of Cassola, Marostica, Solagna, Pove del Grappa, Romano d'Ezzelino, Campolongo sul Brenta, Conco, Rosà, Cartigliano and Nove

It has an historic bridge on the river Brenta designed by the architect Andrea Palladio.

The artist Jacopo Bassano was born, worked , and died in Bassano and took it as his surname.

Welcome to Bassano del Grappo
From Jesse's Journeys in Italy
by Karen Bryan (Europe A La Carte)

Population: 40,411
Official website: Bassano del Grappo
Wikipedia: Bassano del Grappo
Map: MapQuest

Bassano sits in a stunning location by the River Brenta with Monte Grappa in the background. It is about 35 kilometres north east of Vicenza. The town's symbols are said to be the Palladian bridge, white asparagus, ceramics and the Grappa liqueur. If
you like to be slightly off the tourist track or prefer a more rural setting for short break or as a base for a touring holiday, Bassano is ideal.

It is often assumed that the city takes its name from the well known liqueur Grappa. However it is named after Monte Grappa. The mountain's name originates from "crapp"
or "greep", meaning crag in an ancient pre-Latin language. The name of the liqueur - which is produced in Bessano in quantity - stems from "grappolo", meaning a cluster of grapes.

Grappa liqueur has been produced in Bassano since 1779 when Bortolo Nardini bought a Grapperia on the Brenta River bank. Grappa is made from the by-products of wine
making, the seeds, stems and skins. The company is still run by members of the Nardini family.

Ponte Vecchia has become synonymous with Bassano. The bridge is first mentioned in the 11th century. The bridge has been rebuilt several times due to flooding or destruction during wars. It is still the original design by Palladio from 1569. The bridge is built of wood, making it more resilient to the fast flowing River Brenta.

There is a record of the city on St Mary's Hill from the 10th century. From the 14th to 18th century the city was under Venetian rule. It became well known for the manufacture of ceramics, wool, silk, iron and copper. The Remondini family ran one of the most up-to-date printing houses in Europe from the17th to the 19th century.

The Town Hall was first constructed in 1405. Bartolomeo Ferranci installed the present clock mechanism in 1743. The interior walls are adorned by frescoes of 120 coats of arms.

White asparagus was first produced in the 16th century after Bassano experienced a hailstorm, which destroyed the asparagus crop. The farmers dug up the part of the
plant below the earth and discovered that it was so tender and delicious that they started to grow it underground permanently.

During the First World War the Italians took a last stand against the Austrians in Monte Grappa where they entrenched themselves in tunnels and bunkers to repel the Austrian
attackers. Over 12,000 Italian and 10,000 Austrian soldiers lost their lives in the numerous battles.

During the Second World War Italian partisans hid in Monte Grappa, organizing raids on the main supply route from Germany to the German troops stationed in Italy. In 1944
the Germans took revenge by marching up the mountain behind women, children and elderly local inhabitants. Any partisans discovered or civilians suspected of assisting
partisans were killed. There were public hangings and shootings with families forced to watch.

In 1946 the Italian prime minister awarded Basssano the gold medal for military valor. Every year the city commemorates these events during September.

The Museo degli Alpini was established in 1948 in memory of the Italian Alpine Troops It is located on the eastern side of the Ponte Vecchio. You have to enter it through a cafe. Originally the collection was very small but has grown as more war relics have
been gathered together. There are many original photos, uniforms and armoury.

Museo della Cermica is near the eastern side of the Ponte Vecchio. The building was constructed as the residence of Ferrari family, owners of a local silk factory. The entrance hall is adorned with a fresco by Giorgio Anseli. There are pieces of engraved
ceramics from medieval times, Mainardi majolica pieces from the 17th and 18th century, along with modern pieces.

The Civic Musuem is one of the oldest in the Veneto region. It was built in1828 on the site of the convent of St Francis. It houses a collection of paintings by the Da Ponti family, Guariento and Magnasco, a collection of prints by the Remondini family. There is also an archaeological section and pieces by Antonio Canova.

Bassano boasts several churches. San Donato built in 1208, San Francesco, started in the mid 12th century, and the Cathedral of Holy Mary dating from the 17th century.

So, Bassano may not be the ultimate destination of your journey, but it is highly recommended to travelers and tourists who are in the Veneto Region and want to experience an authentic northern Italian river town. Put it on your travel map, why not?

Sea water tonic

2006-01-18T20:23:00.000-08:00

Ionic Sea Water solution

The sea houses all minerals in existence in ionic solution, which is best form for absorbtion into human and animal bodies. I use a sea water solution called Dalai Iso (an iso tonic, there is also a hypertonic, which is the product Dalai Iper) distributed by Promopharma in Europe. I use it as a trace and major mineral supplement in most everyone with allergies, candida overgrowth, chronic fatigue, eczema, sinusitis, mucus membrane disturbances and anyone who tests to need the sea water solution (which is almost any sick person).

I've also used this a lot in cats, subcutaneously in cases of dehydration, as an aerosol in cats with sinus and lung problems, and directly on the skin in cases of skin problems in both cats and humans. I also use it as part of the base therapy for all sick cats. The dosage varies based on cat size, illness and kinesiological testing, but it is usually between 2 and 5 ml per day for a cat, given in food or water.

Please see the detailed info regarding sea water solution after the cnn article below.

Studies look to sea for cystic fibrosis treatment

Inhaled saline solution works where drugs failed, doctors say

By Peggy Peck
MedPageToday Managing Editor

Wednesday, January 18, 2006; Posted: 5:50 p.m. EST (22:50 GMT)

Surfers chasing waves off the coast of Australia gave researchers a clue to a cheap, effective treatment for cystic fibrosis.

Two studies published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine report that cystic fibrosis patients who inhaled a specially mixed saltwater solution at least twice a day had half as many hospitalizations for lung problems and significantly improved their ability to clear mucus from the lungs.

The patients in the studies also had marked improvement in lung function, said Dr. Scott Donaldson of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Seawater NASAL SPRAY 150 ML FLASK

Some people mistakenly believe that this nasal spray contains a mixture of water and salt. This, however, is not the case. Salt is highly irritating to the mucus membranes and it has no anti-inflammatory or healing properties. The spray contains Isotonic Solution.

It can be used at any age: by infants, children, teenagers, adults and elderly people.

Press down the nozzle gently to release spray.

COLDS:
From the onset of any nasal congestion or the appearance of runny or stuffy nose, spray 4 to 6 times a day into each nostril.

SINUSITIS:
Acute sinusitis: see Colds.
Chronic sinusitis: Spray 3 to 4 times a day into each nostril. Avoid milk, beer, sweets and junk foods.

EXCESSIVE DRYNESS OF NASAL CAVITIES:

RECOMMENDED DOSES OF Seawater ISOTONIC SOLUTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF ECZEMA, HIVES OR RASHES AND PSORIASIS and other related skin diseases

I - If taken orally

First 10 days: 1 vial a day.
Following 10 days: 2 vials a day.

After that, if the skin eruptions begin to fade, continue to take 2 vials a day. Otherwise, alternate between 2 vials a day and 3 vials a day until eruptions begin to fade. If necessary, 3 vials a day may be taken. In obstinate cases of psoriasis, it is recommended that the dose be increased to 4 vials a day. To minimize the influx of toxins it is important to carefully watch the patient's diet for signs of inappropriate choices.

When the lesions have disappeared, gradually taper off the number of vials taken
until complete healing has occurred.

External application of ginkgo biloba cream to psoriasis blemishes will help fade them more rapidly.

II- If injected (subcutaneously. intravenously or intramuscularly).

First 2 weeks: 20 cc (2 vials) every second day.
Following 2 weeks: 30cc (3 vials) every second day.

When the eruptions have faded: 3 vials every third day, then 2 vials every second day, then 2 vials once a week. Decrease the dose gradually until healing is complete.

Seawater Isotonic Solution is available in boxes of 30 vials and containers of one (1) liter.

Rene Quinton's shock treatment for psoriasis (subsequently used successfully by
many physicians) is as follows:

Subcutaneous administration in the retro-trochanterian area.

6 weeks of treatment. 10 ml vials:

First week: 3 vials every second day 3 times a week.

Second week: 5 vials every second day 3 times a week.
Third week: 7 vials every second day 3 times a week.

The improvement is spectacular, the lesions fade away without the use of standard medical treatment.

In the light of the results obtained, the dose should be adapted to the patient's
individual response as follows:

Fourth week: 12 vials every second day 3 times a week.
Fifth week: 18 vials every second day 3 times a week.
Sixth week: 20 vials every second day 3 times a week.

Where there is mild persistence of symptoms, the initial treatment may be repeated
after a pause of 2 months. To ensure that adequate and appropriately correct nutrition is obtained, it is recommended that the patient consult a knowledgeable Health Professional (not necessarily nutritionist).

From 1952 to 1957, the French physician Jean Montfort studied over 600 clinical cases of this complaint as part of a medical team. Results of his research revealed that improvements tend to appear after the first injection as well as the third week. Dr. Jean Montfort treated his patients exclusively with Ocean Plasma without the addition of corticosteroids or antibiotics.

He emphasized the absence of iatrogenic side effects in using Ocean Plasma as well as the surprising results obtained. Many of these patients showed no signs of relapse after 20 years.

BONE AND JOINT DISEASE: GROWING PAINS IN CHILDREN, ARTHROSIS AND OSTEOPOROSIS IN ADULTS

Ocean Plasma is a powerful reminalizer and is, therefore, particularly suitable in cases of bone and joint disorders. In such cases, however, it must be remembered that wear and tear on bones and joints have occurred slowly over long periods and, consequently, the remineralization process will also be gradual. Adults suffering from arthrosis or osteoporosis should consider taking the Plasma regularly over a period of 6 months to a year. An increase in bone density is observable using densitometry after only 6 months of treatment.

Dosage:
Growing pains in children:
2 vials daily - 3 to 4 vials daily in periods of crisis

Arthrosis and osteoporosis:
2 to 3 vials daily according to the severity of the condition

Ocean Plasma IN CASES OF CANCER, LEUKEMIA AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Ocean Plasma and the Seawater therapy itself constitute a valuable adjunct in the medical treatment of these diseases. While it is certainly not organ-specific, it does normalize cell electrolytes, pH values and mineral imbalances as well as increase overall vitality. Ocean Plasma has a rapid beneficial impact on the entire body system.
Therefore, it should not be discussed as a specific cancer cure but be seriously considered for its great regenerating potential.
Any therapy for degenerative diseases should always be combined with a wholesome, LIVING, RAW and saltless diet. Any cooked and processed foods would only hinder the process of healing. A competent practitioner in natural nutrition should be consulted even before starting the Seawater therapy or any other.

4 to 6 vials must be taken regularly every day over a period of many months.

In certain cases, the Plasma should be administered by injection for maximum efficiency. Injections of 30 to 60cc (3 to 6 vials) may be given every second day throughout the first two months. Advanced stages of the disease may require higher doses. Subsequent treatment, when appropriate, may be tapered off from a single injection twice a week to once a week.

HYDROTHERAPY OF THE COLON USING Ocean Plasma

Modern advances in Physiology and Molecular Biochemistry make it easier to comprehend the great similarity in mineral content of the inner environment and sea water with their common origin. This similarity makes it possible for any organism to select or reject what it needs in a natural way.

The assimilation or elimination of marine ions is made possible through cellular receptors with a high degree of accuracy by the identifying polarity derived from biocenosis.

Cold-sterilized Isotonic sea water is usually eliminated through the kidneys. This eliminated sea water tends to be twice as concentrated and twice as voluminous as artificial physiological serum.

TOTAL OSMOSIS OCCURS BETWEEN THE PLASMA AND THE INNER FLUID ENVIRONMENT.

The advantages of Seawater Isotonic Solution in colonic hydrotherapy:
(9% - this is 1/3 of normal salt/mineral concentration of original seawater)

Physiological irrigation and cleansing of the intestinal membranes.
Anti-anaphylactic action of sea water.
Re-absorption of micro-nutrients and minerals through the portal vein.
Physiological stabilization in case of insufficient potassium.
Anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic action as required in adjustable doses.
In cases of infection: optimum absorption results.
Strengthens the immune system.

Using Seawater Duplase (21% - i.e.2/3 normal salt/mineral concentration of original seawater):
An immediate REVITALIZING and ENERGY-BOOSTING effect is obtained.

Undiluted seawater may be used exclusively for the entire Colonic Hydrotherapy session. Alternatively, the fluid may be used only in the final stages of the irrigation.

The almost 100 year clinical history of the Ocean Plasma ensures the high quality and safety of the product.

Ocean Plasma AND MESOTHERAPY

Mesotherapy is defined as:

"Method of treatment with sub-cutaneous injections from several small needles".

MESOTHERAPY USING Ocean Plasma

Dr. Pistor, who created the method of mesotherapy, defined it as: A special means for the intradermal introduction of a water soluble drug into the system. This definition reinforces the theory behind the technique for the administration of Ocean Plasma. The technique advocated the use of cold-sterilized Isotonic sea water for sub-cutaneous administration.

Mesotherapy introduces small quantities of active ingredients usually transported
by an artificial physiological serum.

The superiority of Ocean Plasma over synthetic serum has been clearly demonstrated by abundant clinical bibliography. Such a bibliography indicates all the advantages that may be acquired by a practicing "Mesotherapist" in using cold-sterilized Isotonic sea water.

The clinical practice of rehydration has been in existence for almost a hundred years and the best way to carry it out is by "Hypodermoclysis". Nowadays, this application is coming back into use after having been unjustifiably assigned to medical oblivion.

Specialized medical journals reflect this trend accurately.(l)

The aim of Mesotherapy is "to bring the remedy as close as possible to the site of the disease." This method must, therefore, take into account the advantages of using cold-sterilized Isotonic sea water.

These advantages include the following:
use as an active ingredient
use as a vehicle for other active ingredients

The topical action of Ocean Plasma has already been demonstrated particularly in dermatology: in the treatment of psoriasis, eczema, rashes and burns.

In cases of psoriasis, the clearing up of lesions is significant. It takes only a few days for a distinct improvement in pruritis to be observed. The method involves administering small 1ml doses intradermally around the lesions. Cleansing the lesions with Seawater Hypertonic Solution is recommended as the next step.

As a vehicle for the transportation of active ingredients, the Plasma replaces synthetic physiological serums.

Dr. Bernard Guez (2) perfected the technique of tumescent percutaneous hydrotomy which was used in 80 000 instances of medical treatment. The technique is the best example of the therapeutic role of water using cold-sterilized Isotonic sea water for its carrier effect. Where Seawater Isotonic Solution is concerned, this method is also directed towards:

providing a natural topical liquid similar to interstitial fluid.
providing a vehicle for other active ingredients.
freedom from physician-induced complications.

In articular Mesotherapy, the principal function of Seawater Isotonic Solution is to provide a remedy for "dysirrigation", in particular, processes of bone deterioration such as arthrosis and osteoporosis, or to improve anoxia of the tissues.(2)

The topical application of the Solution to the affected areas makes it possible to provide healing elements which will regularize the condition of the lesion.

According to Doctors Jarricot, Rene Quinton and others, the effect of an Isotonic Plasma injection lasts about 12 hours. In the following first, second or third hour, the patient may get chills, which may be strong reactions or completely absent or anything in between.

The body temperature occasionally rises from 1 to 2 degrees Celsius during the 4-5 hours following the injection but it then drops below the original temperature. Thirst is also to be expected and therefore appreciable quantities of water (1-3 liters or quarts) could be consumed by the patient. Lack of appetite, slight headache, or nausea are among the possible after-effects of the injection. However, these reactions should not be of any concern, since the improvements which follows these reactions will be proportional to the time of progressive recovery.

Twenty-four hours after the injection, the patient may feel tired but an improvement clearly shows up in the next 36 to 48 hours. This improvement will persist and intensify on the third and fourth day. In certain cases, it may even be spectacular. On the fifth day, the patient might feel a bit down again. That is when the second injection is given. The cycle will repeated again but the adverse reactions will gradually diminish while the improvements rapidly increase.

In many cases, important recoveries were observed after the third or fourth injection. Wounds and ulcers start to heal. Eczema stops to ooze, dead skin starts to peel off etc. Although the symptoms of illness have completely disappeared, the injections should not be interrupted at once. They should be continued for one or two more weeks and given again, from time to time, depending on the patient's state.

SOME CAUSES OF FAILURE TO SHOW RESULTS

An analysis of the failures of Rene Quinton's therapeutic methods shows that:

In a large majority of these cases, the therapist did not employ the necessary or commended dosages of the injections.

A double (second) injection during a twenty-four hour interval was not attempted.

An inappropriate diet was used (particularly in the case of infants and the elderly)

The treatment injections were interrupted too early.

STANDARD PROCEDURE TO CARRY OUT INJECTIONS OF ISOTONIC Ocean Plasma

Frequency:
At the start of a series of treatments, injections (subcutaneous, intra-muscular, or intra-venous) are usually given every second day - 2 or 3 times a week.
In case of terminal stage patients and cholera, they are given twice a day up to ten days in a row. The injections are then reduced to 2-3 times weekly. As the situation improves, injections are given less frequently, however they should not be abandoned too soon.

Dosage:
For children over five, adolescents and adults, the injections usually start at 25-30cc and are gradually increased to 50, 75, 100 or even 200cc if the response is not entirely satisfactory. In case of eczema, the dosages should always remain low. High dosages will cause strong adverse reactions. Cholera and patients in terminal stage require a high starting dosage, typically 2 x 250cc per day. For children under five, the dosages start at 20cc.

When health state improves, the injections may be given only once or twice a week. Even if the illness symptoms have disappeared, the treatment should not be discontinued immediately.

ORIGINAL THERAPEUTIC PROTOCOL FOR THE USE OF Ocean Plasma

(according to Rene Quinton)

The description in the following page faithfully reflects the original therapeutic protocol as it was utilized by Rene Quinton himself one hundred years ago or so.

Treatment protocol (translated from the French):

? The marine treatment which we have practiced in the Parisian hospital services
(St. Louis, Beaujon, Hotel-Dieu, Tenon, Maison Dubois, Pitie and the Asylum of Mouleau) consisted of injecting our seawater (now available as Ocean Plasma) which we reduced to organic isotonic consistency, per dosage for this mixture, to one hundredth to one hundredth and a half of the body weight.

The first injections I practiced (July - August 1897) were intra-venous injections. In my absence, in a desperate case of cirrhosis, death being anticipated for that same day, a temporary intern obtained complete success after a sub-cutaneous injection of my preparation which he administered without any hope. The patient left the hospital on his own two weeks later.

I don't provide my formula as being final or the best one could use. I thought one had to inject the isotonic way in order to avoid unknown or troublesome factors, however I learned from physicians of the Marine Service who have had excellent results from simply injecting my preparation in its natural form (now available under the name of Seawater Hypertonic Plasma - a revitalizing dietary supplement). This practice would have the advantage of reducing by two thirds the volume to inject - a comparative experience would have to be tried. I limited the dosage to one hundredth or one hundredth and a half of the injection volume because it seemed to me that this dosage (same concentration as human plasma) was sufficient to produce the immediate effects of a double or triple dose, however, it is not established that a stronger dose by itself would have any advantages, which I have not had the occasion to observe.

The quality of the liquid to be injected provided more precise observations which could be summarized with finality. It no use to contemplate the composition of an artificial seawater. It must be treated according to my protocol and reduced to approximate organic isotonicity (available now in the form of Seawater Isotonic Plasma).

Minimal injection dose: 700g, for an adult with an average weight of 65 kg.

Frequency of injections: When the injections must be repeated: every five days, then every six, seven, eight days etc., according to the readily discernible duration of its effects (see details further down).

When several injection are to be done on the same patient, it is best to inject at the same place. The local pain of the first injection will only be slightly felt during subsequent injections.

An injections is followed by a reaction that lasts about twelve hours. At a certain variable moment (one hour, two hours or three hours after and sometimes even while performing the injection itself if it is done slowly), the patient will feel chilly, sometime violently so, with chattering teeth and more or less intense thirst. Body temperature will rise without interruption during four or five hours (about 1.5 to 2.0 degrees C) and then will come down as it came up to finally stabilize below the initial temperature. The thirsty patient will drink 1 to 3 liters of water. He typically has absolutely no appetite, may have some nausea or slight headaches. The more this reaction is felt the more benefit will be derived from the injection. In any case, it is not to be feared regardless of the weakness of the patient or his initial temperature. In the case of febrility, when the temperature before the injection is 39.5 degrees C, it can rise to 41.5 C and even remain for six consecutive hours at 41 degrees C without the slightest inconvenience.

Twenty-four hours after the injection, one finds the patient generally down, due not only because of the crisis which just happened but also due to the resulting partial insomnia. The improvement is however evident by certain symptoms that begin to clearly show, in favorable cases, around the 36th hour or the latest on the second day. The improvements are constant and are progressive during the 3rd and 4th days. One can witness sometimes a veritable resurrection of the patient. Striking by its suddenness: all pain or uneasiness that may have been present before the injection have left; strength returns; appetite - non-existent before the treatment - becomes exaggerated with sudden hunger and the patient, bedridden for weeks, arises and walks around for several hours.

On the fifth day, in the morning - complete change. The scene is dominated by the same general weakness as prevailed before the treatment, except in acute cases where one injection suffices to produce a definite improvement. A second injection is therefore administered. The described cycle of effects occur once again but with more pronounced improvements.

The injections are spaced out in this natural manner for five, six, seven, eight days - according to the benefits that are obtained.

The difficulties which I had to face, when the Arcachon station could no longer send me the seawater that was treated according to my protocol, have successively interrupted many of my [clinical] trials. As a collective group, my preparations nevertheless seem to have proven to be a powerful adjunctive therapy. In three particularly grave acute cases, infectious gastro-enteritis of indeterminate nature, oxalic acid poisoning, advanced liver cirrhosis, success was immediate and complete. In the case of syphilis, one early malignant syphillitis and one advanced case, the injection was followed, right from the second day, by very rapid healing of the lesions which covered the patient's body. In one case, healing was mostly complete after seven days. We obtained the same results in cutaneous tuberculosis.

The therapeutic action of seawater is therefore evident. Future trials should measure and evaluate it further. ?

Cow Escapes Meat Plant, Dodges SUV, Train

GREAT FALLS, Mont. - A cow that escaped a slaughterhouse dodged vehicles, ran in front of a train, braved the icy Missouri River and took three tranquilizer darts before being recaptured six hours later. News of the heifer's adventures prompted a number of people to offer to buy the animal.

The black, 1,200 pound heifer jumped a gate at the packing plant at around 5 a.m. Thursday and apparently wandered through residential areas. Police received reports at about 9:30 a.m. that it was in the middle of a busy intersection.

Police tried to catch the cow, and had her wedged between a stock trailer and a fence, but the heifer barreled through the fence toward the river, nearly being hit by a Chevrolet Suburban.

It was the first of many near-death experiences.

Blazing mouse sets fire to house

A US man who threw a mouse onto a pile of burning leaves could only watch in horror as it ran into his house and set the building ablaze.

Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner, New Mexico, found the mouse in his home and wanted to get rid of it.

"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," he was quoted as saying by AP.

Cat gets 'Lucky' in rescue on icy river

MISSOULA, Montana (AP) -- If cats have nine lives, a kitty in Montana has definitely used one up.

A house cat survived being locked in a cage, thrown off a bridge and then stranded in an icy puddle of river slush.

The ordeal ended Tuesday morning when a pair of passers-by spotted the calico cat while crossing a footbridge and called for help.

Missoula firefighters arrived minutes later, donned wet suits and launched a rescue boat.

Someone had put the animal in a cage, along with a rock weighing about 16 pounds, and tossed it into the Clark Fork River. But instead of landing in the water, it bounced several times on the ice and then became stuck.

It's unclear how long the cat had been there.

Ramona and Art Bell
Art Bell's beloved wife of fifteen years, Ramona, died unexpectedly last night after an asthma attack. At present, the exact cause of Mrs. Bell's death has not been determined. It apparently took place during her sleep. Until her death, Art and Ramona Bell had not been apart a day since they were married. Mrs. Bell had suffered from asthma for years, and took her normal steps to control the attack, which occured sometime last night in Laughlin, Nevada where the Bells were taking a brief vacation. Ramona Bell was 47 years old.

Wishing the deepest support for Art Bell, from all entities who love and care for him.

Did Jesus exist? Italian court to decide

By Phil Stewart

ROME (Reuters) - Forget the U.S. debate over intelligent design versus evolution.

An Italian court is tackling Jesus -- and whether the Roman Catholic Church may be breaking the law by teaching that he existed 2,000 years ago.

The case pits against each other two men in their 70s, who are from the same central Italian town and even went to the same seminary school in their teenage years.

The defendant, Enrico Righi, went on to become a priest writing for the parish newspaper. The plaintiff, Luigi Cascioli, became a vocal atheist who, after years of legal wrangling, is set to get his day in court later this month.

"I started this lawsuit because I wanted to deal the final blow against the Church, the bearer of obscurantism and regression," Cascioli told Reuters.

The Rainbow Serpent

2005-12-29T00:28:00.000-08:00

Dreaming Stories

What are Dreaming Stories about?

Dreaming stories vary throughout Australia and there are different versions on the same theme. For example the story of how the birds got their colours is different in New South Wales and in Western Australia.

Stories cover many themes and topics. There are stories about creation of sacred places, landforms, people, animals and plants. There are also stories of language or the first use of fire. In more recent times there are stories telling of the arrival of the first Europeans on ships or stories about trading with Macassan fisherman in Northern Australia.

The Tracks of Life

The journey of the Spirit Ancestors across the land are recorded in Dreaming Tracks. A Dreaming track joins a number of sites which trace the path of an Ancestral Being as it moved through the landscape, forming its features, creating its flora and fauna and laying down the Laws. One of these Spirit Ancestors is the Rainbow Serpent, whose Dreaming track is shared by many Aboriginal communities across Australia.

Rainbow Serpent

And that... is the resting place of the Rainbow Serpent, and all of the gullies and all of the lagoon itself was about the Rainbow Serpent created after he had created the universe and all the dry gullies is the tracks that he's made looking for a resting place.

Carl McGrady,
Aboriginal Education Assistant,
Boggabilla, describing the path of the
Rainbow Serpent at Boobera Lagoon,
northern New South Wales, 1996.

The Rainbow Serpent is represented as a large, snake-like creature, whose Dreaming track is always associated with watercourses, such as billabongs, rivers, creeks and lagoons. It is the protector of the land, its people, and the source of all life. However, the Rainbow Serpent can also be a destructive force if it is not properly respected.

The Rainbow Serpent is a consistent theme in Aboriginal painting and has been found in rock art up to 6000 years old. The Rainbow Serpent is a powerful symbol of the creative and destructive power of nature. Most paintings of Rainbow Serpents tell the story of the creation of the landscape particular to an artist's birthplace. Some aspects of Rainbow Serpent stories are restricted to initiated persons but generally, the image had been very public. Today, most artists add personal clan designs to the bodies of Rainbow Serpents, symbolising links between the artist and the land.

Supernatural - Graham Hancock author, Pablo Amaringo artist

2005-11-01T22:35:00.000-08:00

http://www.grahamhancock.com/gallery/supernatural/

Pablo Amaringo was born in 1943 in Puerto Libertad, in the Peruvian Amazon region. He was 10 years old when he first took ayahuasca—a visionary brew used in shamanism, made from the plants Banisteriopsis caapi (yagé) and Psychotria viridis (chacruna). A severe heart illness--and the magical treatment of this via ayahuasca--led Pablo toward the life of a shaman, and he eventually became a powerful curandero--learning the icaros, or healing songs that the ayahuasca brew taught him. However, in 1977, Pablo abandoned his vocation as a shaman, and he is now a painter and painting teacher at his Usko-Ayar school, where there is no charge for the students to learn painting from Pablo.

Pablo has painted and described numerous ayahuasca visions, some of which have appeared in his book Ayahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian Shaman. He is currently working on paintings of angels for a forthcoming book, as well as paintings that document the flora and fauna of Peru.

Pablo's painting school is entirely dependant on donations, which can be made directly to him via the address provided below. The school needs money for various bills. As well, paints, brushes, and other art supplies can be donated directly, sent via mail. Please clearly mark such donations as "gifts" so that no tax will have to be paid.

Renegade, the best psychedelic western, ever

http://www.tripzine.com/print.asp?id=renegade
by James Kent

Can a mediocre French western really be the most psychedelic movie ever made? Absolutely!

I got an e-mail from a friend of mine telling me to check out Renegade, a fairly bland western with the dubious distinction of having the best psychedelic scenes ever laid down on film. Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either until I watched the movie. But they are there, count them, not one, not two, but three full-on Native American shamanic rituals, some lasting ten to twenty minutes at a time, complete with cosmic snakes, hyperspatial centipedes, black morphing thousand-eyed demons, and that's just for starters. The shamanic scenes are intense beyond intense, ranging from the shifting world of coming on and going all the way into the deep realms of the transcendental peak. In short, this film nails the psychedelic experience in all it's glory and horror, the first movie to ever do so, that I have seen.

The plot of Renegade revolves around Mike, a sheltered young lad from Louisiana carted out to the frontier by his family to toughen his hide. Before long he's in a deadly shoot-out with a classic western Bad Guy (Wallace, played by Michael Madsen) which ends in the death of Mike's love of all of ten minutes, a beautiful young courtesan who gets caught in the crossfire. The plot about the dead whore and the bad guy is just a set-up to send Mike on a spiritual journey into the wilderness, where the wise old Indians dose him up and attempt to cleanse him of his demons. Needless to say, the parts of the movie between the ritual scenes seem to drag on endlessly (Juliette Lewis singing? Oh no!), but the payoff is definitely worth it. The final psychedelic battle between Mike and Wallace goes well beyond anything you've seen in the Matrix, Altered States, or any other movie that plays around with psychedelic archetypes. This movie does not deliver a watered-down Hollywood version of the psychedelic experience, they bring the goods in an amazing, eye popping way. Please, do not watch this film on drugs. Watch it sober first just to believe for your own eyes what you are seeing. Yes, someone actually spent major money to make a western centered around shamanism. Yes, they actually got it right.

Renegade is a French film, originally called Blueberry and based on the comic book of the same name (the hero's name I guess is Mike Blueberry, although that seems to have been cut from the final release). I don't know if it came out in theaters or was released straight to DVD, but it is avilable now, so get it quick. While I have never read the comic, I can only assume that's where the psychedelic influences came from. But whoever put this movie together had a different agenda than your average filmmaker; this movie was made expressly for the shamanic scenes, no doubt about it. I mean, when was the last time you saw a western that ended in a shamanic peyote battle instead of a gun fight? This is some tripped-out shit to be sure, go rent the DVD today. I won't mind if you skip past the boring parts and go straight to the tripping scenes, the plot really doesn't matter that much. But if you want to see the best, most accurate, most lovingly crafted shamanic rituals and psychedelic visuals ever created for home viewing, this is the disc for you. Movie: C+; Shamanic Scenes: A+

Thanks for the tip Eugene!

Cashew Coconut Cream

2005-10-17T01:55:00.000-07:00

Cashew Coconut Cream
Ingredients:
1/2 c raw cashews or cashew pieces (soaked for 6 hours prior, throw out soak water)
1/2 c distilled water
1/2 c melted Tropical Traditions coconut oil
1 T 100% pure maple syrup
1/2 t pure vanilla
Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Directions:

1. Blend cashews in water to form a thick cream. Slowly add the oil in a fine stream until cream thickens, blend in maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Chill and serve. (Cream will thicken substantially when chilled.)

I used a Vita-mix, so the mixture emulsified pretty well. Once in the fridge for a while it gets pretty thick, like ice cream thickness.

Great on pie, in coffee as cream, a dip for fresh fruit etc...

Red Alert

2005-08-05T02:40:00.000-07:00

August 2, 2005
By Stan Deyo
Home http://standeyo.com

This RED ALERT is the first of its kind I've ever made in the 9 years of studying seismic event indicators. It is so huge that I almost can't believe my eyes. The importance and severity of this has impressed me more significantly than when I predicted and warned about the coming December 26, 2004 Indonesian events beginning December 22.

For the last 6 days, I've seen indications of a large number of earthquake pressures building across a 2,000-mile long arc in the North Pacific. At first, I thought these indications were a result of large storms so I disregarded them. Until this afternoon when a listener (thanks Dan) heard my radio broadcast and emailed information to me, I wasn't able to explain the cause of this discovery.

Below you will see white arrows pointing at this arc of signals that have appeared over the last 6 days. They are heading straight into Mendocino, CA to the area where 3 tectonic plates meet. Notice on today's image and for 5 days preceding, the clear definition of this phenomenon. It is occurring all along what is called the Mendocino Fault Zone or Ridge. This is a place where the sea floor rises up to within 1,203 yards of sea surface 168 miles west of Mendocino, CA. It's been the subject of a great many technical papers in the world of geology and seismicity.

Today, news came to us of the collapse of the resurgent dome at Mt. St. Helens. There have been a number of small earthquakes in the range of 3.0 over the last 2 weeks at Mt. St. Helens. Scientists monitoring this claim to be a loss to explain the cause.

Depending on how large and how many seismic events release along the Mendocino Ridge in the near future, where it connects to California could trigger releases not only to the San Andreas Fault map (and San Andreas photo), but also the Juan De Fuca Plate. Juan de Fuca is the only major zone on the great Ring of Fire around the Pacific that hasn't seen a major seismic event in the last 50 years. I don't need to explain the implications of such an event. When this occurs, it will be one of the greatest catastrophes in America history.

HOWEVER, since I have never seen an event of this size in the making, I don't know if it will back off and come back again several times before releasing. All I am sure of is that it's a unique event in my 9 years of monitoring these seismic indicators.

At the very least, you should be sure your emergency stocks of food, water and medicines are what they should be for such an event. We will continue to monitor this situation and are already warning on radio broadcasts. It has the potential to produce enormous tidal waves throughout the Pacific Basic.

The Constitution of Man

2005-08-02T10:54:00.000-07:00

The Constitution of Man

The constitution of man, as considered in the following pages, is basically threefold, as follows:

I. The Monad, or pure Spirit, the Father in Heaven.

This aspect reflects the three aspects of the Godhead:

Will or Power - The Father

Love-wisdom - The Son

Active Intelligence - The Holy Spirit

and is only contacted at the final initiations, when man is nearing the end of his journey and is perfected. The Monad reflects itself again in

II. The Ego, Higher Self, or Individuality.

This aspect is potentially

Spiritual Will - Atma

Intuition - Buddhi, Love-wisdom, the Christ principle

Higher or abstract Mind - Higher Manas

The Ego begins to make its power felt in advanced men, and increasingly on the Probationary Path until by the third initiation the control of the lower self by the higher is perfected, and the highest aspect begins to make its energy felt.

The Ego reflects itself in

III. The Personality, or lower self, physical plane man.

This aspect is also threefold

A mental body lower - manas

An emotional body - astral body

A physical body - the dense physical and the etheric body

The aim of evolution is therefore to bring man to the realization of the Egoic aspect and to bring the lower nature under its control. [1]

The Love Bean weekend

2005-07-31T05:01:00.000-07:00

Ricky's away!

Raspberry Cocao shake
400ml Homemade Almond milk
16 raspberries
2 tbs freshly powdered cocao bean pieces (Nibs)
1.5 tbs Agave nectar
5 capsules of Maca (opened and emptied into the drink)
1/4 tsp Ginseng powder
2 tbs Coconut oil
4 drops absolute Vanilla (or use vanilla extract, but a larger quantity)
Pinch of Himalayan salt

Blend all ingredients well in a blender. Put in the freezer for at least an hour to make it a refreshing summer cold. Serves 1. Inspired by Naked Chocolate

Making Composition Powder

Powder of bayberry bark (myrica cer.)	4 ounces
Powder of ginger (zingiberis)	2 ounces
Powder of white pine bark (pinus canad.)	1 ounce
Powder of cloves (caryophylum)	1 teaspoon
Powder of cayenne pepper (capsicum)	1 teaspoon

Chest Comfort: Dr. Christopher's Herbal Composition Power: As Dr. Nowell, our instructor at the Dominion Herbal College, Let. of Vancouver, British Columbia gave in our textbook, quote: "We have made and used composition powder for over forty years. When we state we regularly mixed it in batches of sixty pounds the student will readily see that we have had at least some experience with it. As a helpful formula for colds, beginning of fevers, flu, hoarseness, sluggish circulation, colic, cramps, etc. We believe it has done more good than any other single preparation ever known to man." [HHH p.189]

I'm making it as part of a gut healing program. I'm using pine gem powder instead of the bark however.

And see the whole discourse: Michael Tierra's Treating the Common Cold
I think his Herbal uprising powder looks even better for my gut healing goal, so next I'll make that!

A nice space

2005-07-28T05:05:00.000-07:00

Some very nice things going on within the past few days. Wonderful dinner and company with a friend the other night. That same day 2 of my clients had great breakthroughs, and 3 kittens showed up to our studio at 2am. Next day we found out they already have a home. But they left me pondering, because the 2 males were suckling on their sister, and she was also suckling on herself!! They're about 3 months old from the looks of them.

We returned them to their home yesterday, which is right across the street, but I saw the female and one of her brothers jaunting around last night before I went to bed. Wish I could explain how cars, streets and crossing them works...

Crumbs on the path

2005-07-24T09:31:00.000-07:00

In this realm a bursting heart is not enough.

The explosion must make itself known to those it wishes to touch.

The explosion must move from the realm of the heart through the realm of the material and back to the receiving heart.

It's a blessing and a thrill to experience the explosion of the heart, but a skill to share it. With humans.

Or is it a skill?

It has come so easily before. What is the difference? More mud on the windshield? Filtering what comes out and what returns in? That's why it's so easy with animals? No mud.

It seemed so easy at one time. But, still I was missing something then. I doubt it's as simple as being with humans as with animals and earth.

It's a problem.

Then there are so many who have muddy windshields on the other side.

It's a multi-faceted problem. Best to work on clearing my own windshield first, then ponder the rest, me thinks.

Notes stop there, but theme continues.
