New treatment could help regrow damaged muscles


New treatment could help regrow damaged muscles


Even works after injury has healed

A new treatment using sodium ions has been found to trigger the growth of nerves and muscles in damaged cells.

Significantly the treatment can be administered even after the injury has healed, and could even be adapted for use directly in combat situations as it does not require any complex medical procedures.

In the breakthrough study scientists induced the complete regrowth of missing tails in young tadpoles by applying a drug cocktail that introduces sodium ions into the damaged tissue.

The tadpole tails are complex organs containing spinal cord, muscle and other tissues. In fact in nature only very young tadpoles are able to re-grow a missing tail, an ability they lose as they age. This is similar to humans in that young children have the ability to generate missing fingertips but older children and adults do not.

The manner in which tadpoles regenerate missing tissue is also similar to the way in which humans do so, with each type of cell making more of itself, which makes these results particularly interesting.


Possible uses of technique

The findings have tremendous implications for treating wounds sustained in war as well as accidental injuries. The treatment method used is most directly applicable to spinal cord repair and limb loss, which are highly significant medical problems world-wide. It also demonstrates a proof-of-principle that may be applicable to many complex organs and tissues.

Commenting on the results, study leader Michael Levin said "We have significantly extended the effective treatment window, demonstrating that even after scar-like wound covering begins to form, control of physiological signals can still induce regeneration. Artificially causing an influx of sodium for just one hour can overcome a variety of problems, such as the decline in regenerative ability that comes with age and the effect of regeneration-blocking drugs."

The process resulted in the re-growth of healthy tails, and did not stimulate any abnormal growths. The researchers were also able to stimulate the tail growth up to 18 hours after amputation, which shows that cells which have normally lost the ability to re-generate can still be stimulated to do so.

The study is reported in the Journal of Neuroscience and was carried out at Tufts University's School of Arts and Sciences in Boston.

Is being harvestable and adept the same thing?

Sharing this with you all because of the vaulable wisdom encoded within the words. This applies to a wide spectrum of life paths. Namaste.


Repost from the forum at www.bring4th.org:


You will often see the abbreviation 'STO' or 'Service to others' written. This is generally used, but is not actually correct. The correct term is service to other-self, or STOS. The reasons for this is that we are all one, all part of the One Creator.


I believe Ra said that the Logos had a bias/preference in making service to other-self easier to attain.


----


Quote:



"90.21 Questioner: Then what you are saying is that once the path is recognized, either the positive or the negative polarized entity can find hints along his path as to the efficiency of that path. Is this correct?


Ra: I am Ra. That which you say is correct upon its own merits, but is not a repetition of our statement. Our suggestion was that within the experiential nexus of each entity within its second-density environment and within the roots of mind there were placed biases indicating to the watchful eye the more efficient of the two paths. Let us say, for want of a more precise adjective, that this Logos has a bias towards kindness."


---


The numbers are:



STOS: at least 51% STOS, 49% STS allowable



STS: At least 96% STS, 4% STOS allowable


STOS: By simply being conscious of your decision to serve others, and continuing on that path from the moment you understand such, you will be on the path to ascension. This path allows one to take care of the self to fair extent as well, but the more one serves other-selves, the more polarity gained. Easy to do? Love, compassion, forgiveness. If you can live with those as guiding principles for your self and towards other-selves, and seek to help others in any way you can, yes it will be easy.


The work of the adept is designed for those that desire to increase their spiritual progression at an increased rate, working with the metaphysical while in the physical. Krishna, Buddha, and Christ are three well known "adepts", as it were.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I would request for all of those reading my words, please guard well your thoughts. If my words resonate, then by all means take them and use them as you can. If they do not resonate, please let them fall away like water does from a ducks back, and move on. Love/Light, Adonai.

A Natural Approach to Diabetes

A Natural Approach to Diabetes
posted by Michelle Schoffro Cook




With all the recent news about the dangers of diabetes medications, you may be wondering what you can do to manage your condition. Here is an excerpt from my upcoming book, The Phytozyme Cure, on how to manage diabetes.


About Diabetes
Diabetes is a serious chronic health condition that is the result of elevated blood sugar levels.

When blood sugar levels are too high, they become toxic to the organs, including the brain. Remember that our bodies need some sugar to provide energy for many functions. In diabetics, there can be two main problems with the way the body handles sugar. One is that the body has an insulin deficiency, which is the hormone your body needs to process sugar. The other problem is that the body’s cells may be resistant to insulin, which prevents blood sugar from entering cells.


There are three types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. While there are some variations in the three types, they are all serious medical conditions that need to be treated by a physician.


Type 1 is also called juvenile diabetes, since it usually develops in childhood or adolescence. Type 1 sufferers have severe insulin deficiencies and require insulin injections.


Type 2 diabetes is also called adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin dependent diabetes. While this type usually strikes adults, it can also affect children. Type 2 is usually linked to eating too-high amounts of refined carbohydrates and sugars, being sedentary, and carrying excess weight.

However, it is also the type that responds best to dietary and lifestyle changes.


Gestational diabetes occurs in some women during pregnancy due to hormonal imbalances.

Although it usually disappears after the baby is born, it still needs to be addressed because unregulated blood sugars may be damaging to the fetus.


Symptoms of diabetes include fatigue, insatiable thirst, frequent urination, excessive appetite, weight loss or gain, blurred vision, and irritability. If you suspect that you may have diabetes or have been diagnosed with diabetes you need to be assessed and monitored by a physician. Diabetes is a serious health condition.


The Diet
Most people suffering from diabetes are eating more carbohydrates or fats than their body can handle. To address these concerns, I usually recommend a low sugar, low-refined carb diet with 2 oz of protein such as raw almonds, cashews, tofu, fish, lean chicken or turkey every three hours.

It is also important to eat a high fiber diet since fiber helps regulate the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. A high-fiber diet also lowers cholesterol and triglycerides.


Make vegetables the focal point of every meal. You should keep fruit consumption to a minimum; however, eating fruit is better than eating other types of sweets. Of course, you should always check with your physician first.


Permanently adopting a healthy diet is the best thing a diabetic can do for his or her health. Be sure to eliminate the harmful substances in your diet, particularly refined carbohydrates and sugars, which include so-called healthy sweeteners like honey, maple sugar, and agave.

Avoid “diet” and “sugar-free” products as well, because they typically contain synthetic sweeteners that are toxic to the body and damaging to diabetics and non-diabetics alike. Instead, sweeten food with stevia.


Add chromium-rich foods to your diet, including whole grains, eggs, shiitake mushrooms, liver, onions, garlic, cucumbers, green and yellow beans, and moderate amounts of fruit. Try to eat wild salmon twice a week or supplement with essential fatty acids (see below). Also, every day eat at least one large green salad with cold-pressed flaxseed oil dressing.


Supplementing the Diet
Here are some of the supplements I typically use with diabetics. You do not need to take all of these supplements. Start by adding two or three types. Take them consistently for at least two months.


Some of the best supplements for diabetics include:
-A full-spectrum digestive enzyme formula that includes amylase, lipase, and protease, among other enzymes, is beneficial. Take one to three enzyme capsules or tablets with every meal to help your body break down the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in your food into natural sugars, essential fatty acids, and amino acids needed for optimal healing.


-Between meals on an empty stomach, you can also supplement with one or more of the following enzymes: bromelain, protease, serrapeptidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), or trypsin, or a single product that includes some or all of these enzymes; these enzymes can be helpful for diabetes. Start with one capsule or tablet of your chosen enzyme(s) on an empty stomach 20 minutes before or at least one hour after meals, three times daily. You can gradually increase that amount to three capsules or tablets at a time, three times daily, or more with the guidance of a nutritional medicine practitioner who is experienced in systemic enzyme therapy.


-Mineral supplements are also good for treating diabetes. Some studies link a deficiency of chromium, a mineral involved in blood sugar balance, with diabetes. Take 200 micrograms daily of either GTF chromium or chromium picolinate. The mineral vanadium helps the body use insulin more effectively, and I recommend a daily supplement of 25 micrograms.


-Bitter melon, 250 to 500 milligrams daily of a 10:1 extract, which can be beneficial for managing blood sugar. Do not take bitter melon if you are pregnant or nursing or are on insulin.

-Gymnema sylvestre extract, 400 milligrams daily, helps repair the pancreas, kidneys and liver—the organs that can be impaired by diabetes.


-Omega-3 fatty acids, 3000 milligrams daily of fish or flaxseed oil, or 500 milligrams daily of DHA-EPA can help to counter inflammation, a causative factor for diabetes.


-Alpha lipoic acid, 300 milligrams daily, has powerful antioxidant properties to help heal the free radical damage involved in diabetes.


-Coenzyme Q10, 100 to 200 milligrams daily, is also helpful for diabetes. CoQ10 is required for the proper functioning of every cell in your body.


Of course, not all of these supplements are required by everyone. Different things work for different people. Always check with your doctor before starting any new diet or supplement program. This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat disease.

Hello to my dear friends, May the Universe, The Great One, and your guardian Angels bring you a weekend and week blessed with joy, prosperity and health! Much love and many blessings to you, Melodie


Splinter Foot Girl - An Arapaho Legend


It was in winter and a large party was on the war-path. Some of them became tired and went home, but seven continued on their way. Coming to a river, they made camp on account of one of them who was weary and nearly exhausted.


They found that he was unable to go farther.


Then they made a good brush hut in order that they might winter there. From this place they went out and looked for buffalo and hunted them wherever they thought they might find them.


During the hunting one of them ran against a thorny plant and became unable to hunt for some time. His leg swelled very much in consequence of the wound, and finally suddenly opened. Then a child issued from the leg. The young men took from their own clothes what they could spare and used it for wrapping for the child.


They made a panther skin answer as a cradle. They passed the child around from one to the other, like people smoking a pipe. They were glad to have another person with them and they were very fond of the child.


While they lived there they killed very many elk and saved the teeth. From the skins they made a dress for the child, which was then old enough to run about. The dress was a girl's, entirely covered with elk teeth. They also made a belt for her. She was very beautiful. Her name was Foot Stuck Child.


A buffalo bull called Bone Bull heard that these young men had had a daughter born to them. As is the custom, he sent the magpie to go to these people to ask for the girl in marriage. The magpie came to the young men and told them what the Bone-bull wished; but he did not meet with any success.


The young men said, "We will not do it. We love our daughter. She is so young that it will not be well to let her go."


The magpie returned and told the Bone-bull what the young men had said. He advised the bull to get a certain small bird which was very clever and would perhaps persuade the young men to consent to the girl's marriage with him.


So the small bird was sent out by the bull. It reached the place where the people lived and lighted on the top of the brush house. In a gentle voice it said to the men, "I am sent by Bone Bull to ask for your daughter."


The young men still refused, giving the same answer as before. The bird flew back and told the bull of the result. The bull said to it, "Go back and tell them that I mean what I ask. I shall come myself later." It was known that the bull was very powerful and hard to overcome or escape from. The bird went again and fulfilled the bull's instruction, but again returned unsuccessfully.


It told the bull: "They are at last making preparations for the marriage. They are dressing the girl finely." But the bull did not believe it.


Then, in order to free itself from the unpleasant task, the bird advised him to procure the services of some one who could do better than itself; some one that had a sweet juicy tongue. So the bull sent another bird, called "Fire Owner," which has red on its head and reddish wings. This bird took the message to the young men.

Now at last they consented.

So the girl went to the bull and was received by him and lived with him for some time. She wore a painted buffalo robe. At certain times the bull got up in order to lead the herd to water. At such times he touched his wife, who, wearing her robe, was sitting in the same position as all the rest, as a sign for her to go too.

The young men were lonely and thought how they might recover their daughter. It was a year since she had left them. They sent out flies, but when the flies came near the bull he bellowed to drive them away. The flies were so much afraid of him that they did not approach him. Then the magpie was sent, and came and alighted at a distance; but when the bull saw him he said, "Go away! I do not want you about."


They sent the blackbird, which lit on his back and began to sing. But the bull said to it also: "Go away, I do not want you about."

The blackbird flew back to the men and said, " I can do nothing to help you to get your daughter back, but I will tell you of two animals that work unseen, and are very cunning: they are the mole and the badger. If you get their help you will surely recover the girl."


Then the young men got the mole and the badger, and they started at night, taking arrows with them. They went underground, the mole going ahead. The badger followed and made the hole larger. They came under the place where the girl was sitting and the mole emerged under her blanket. He gave her the arrows which he had brought and she stuck them into the ground and rested her robe on them and then the badger came under this too. The two animals said to her, "We have come to take you back." She said, " I am afraid," but they urged her to flee.


Finally she consented, and leaving her robe in the position in which she always sat, went back through the hole with the mole and the badger to the house of the young men.


When she arrived they started to flee. The girl had become tired, when they came to the stone and asked it to help them. The stone said, "I can do nothing for you, the bull is too powerful to contend with."

They rested by the side of the stone; then they continued on their way, one of them carrying the girl. But they went more slowly on account of her. They crossed a river, went through the timber, and on the prairie the girl walked again for a distance. In front of them they saw a lone immense cottonwood tree.


They said to it: "We are pursued by a powerful animal and come to you for help."


The tree told them, "Run around me four times," and they did this. The tree had seven large branches, the lowest of them high enough to be out of the reach of the buffalo, and at the top was a fork in which was a nest. They climbed the tree, each of the men sitting on one of the branches, and the girl getting into the nest. So they waited for the bull who would pursue them.


When the bull touched his wife in order to go to water, she did not move. He spoke to her angrily and touched her again. The third time he tried to hook her with his horn, but tossed the empty robe away. "They cannot escape me," he said.


He noticed the fresh ground which the badger had thrown up in order to close the hole. He hooked the ground and threw it to one side, and the other bulls got up and did the same, throwing the ground as if they were making a ditch and following the course of the underground passage until they came to the place where the people had lived. The camp was already broken up, but they followed the people's trail.


Coming to the stone, the bull asked, "Have you hidden the people or done anything to help them?"


The stone said: "I have not helped them for fear of you."


But the bull insisted: "Tell me where you hid them. I know that they reached you and are somewhere about."
"No, I did not hide them; they reached this place but went on," said the stone.


"Yes, you have hidden them; I can smell them and see their tracks about here."


"The girl rested here a short time; that is what you smell," said the stone.


Then the buffalo followed the trail again and crossed the river, the bull leading. One calf which was becoming very tired tried hard to keep up with the rest. It became exhausted at the lone cottonwood tree and stopped to rest. But the herd went on, not having seen the people in the tree. They went far on.


The girl was so tired that she had a slight hemorrhage. Then she spat down.


As the calf was resting in the shade below, the bloody spittle fell down before it. The calf smelled it, knew it, got up, and went after the rest of the buffalo. Coming near the herd, it cried out to the bull: "Stop! I have found a girl in the top of a tree. She is the one who is your wife."


Then the whole herd turned back to the tree.


When they reached it, the bull said: "We will surely get you."


The tree said: "You have four parts of strength. I give you a chance to do something to me."


Then the buffalo began to attack the tree; those with least strength began. They butted it until its thick bark was peeled off. Meanwhile the young men were shooting them from the tree.


The tree said: "Let some of them break their horns."


Then came the large bulls, who split the wood of the tree; but some stuck fast, and others broke their horns or lost the covering.


The bull said, "I will be the last one and will make the tree fall." At last he came on, charging against the tree from the southeast, striking it, and making a big gash. Then, coming from the southwest, he made a larger hole. Going to the northwest, he charged from there, and again cut deeper, but broke his right horn. Going then to the northeast, he charged the tree with his left horn and made a still larger hole. The fifth time he went straight east, intending to strike the tree in the center and break it down.


He pranced about, raising the dust; but the tree said to him: "You can do nothing. So come on quickly." This made him angry and he charged. The tree said: "This time you will stick fast," and he ran his left horn far into the middle of the wood and stuck fast. Then the tree told the young men to shoot him in the soft part of his neck and sides, for he could not get loose or injure them.


Then they shot him and killed him, so that he hung there. Then they cut him loose.


The tree told them to gather all the chips and pieces of wood that had been knocked off and cover the bull with them, and they did so. All the buffalo that had not been killed went away. The tree said to them: "Hereafter you will be overcome by human beings. You will have horns, but when they come to hunt you, you will be afraid. You will be killed and eaten by them and they will use your skins." Then the buffalo scattered over the land with half-broken, short horns.


After the people had descended from the tree, they went on their way. The magpie came to them as messenger sent by Merciless-man to ask the young men for their daughter in marriage. He was a round rock. The magpie knew what this rock had done and warned the men not to consent to the marriage.


He said, "Do not have anything to do with him, since he is not a good man. Your daughter is beautiful, and I do not like to see her married to the rock. He has married the prettiest girls he could hear of, obtaining them somehow. But his wives are crippled, one-armed, or one-legged, or much bruised. I will tell the rock to get the hummingbird for a messenger because that bird is swift and can escape him if he should pursue."


So the magpie returned and said that the young men refused the marriage. But the rock sent him back to say:

"Tell them that the girl must marry me nevertheless." The magpie persuaded him to send the hummingbird as messenger instead of himself.

Then the hummingbird went to carry the message to the young men; but, on reaching them, told them instead:

"He is merciless and not the right man to marry this girl. He has treated his wives very badly. You had better leave this place."

So he went back without having tried to help the rock. He told the rock that he had seen neither camp nor people.


"Yes you saw them," said the rock; "you are trying to help them instead of helping me. Therefore you try to pretend that you did not see them. Go back and tell them that I want the girl. If they refuse, say that I shall be there soon."


The hummingbird went again to the men and told them what the rock wished, and said: "He is powerful.

Perhaps it is best if you let your daughter go. But there are two animals that can surely help you. They can bring her back before he injures her. They are the mole and the badger."


"Yes," they said, now having confidence in these animals.


So the hummingbird took the girl to the rock. He reached his tent, which was large and fine, but full of crippled wives. "I have your wife here," he said.


"Very well," said the rock, "let her come in. I am pleased that you brought her; she is pretty enough for me."


Soon after the hummingbird had left with the girl, the mole and the badger started underground and made their way to the rock's tent. In the morning the rock always went buzzing out through the top of the tent; in the evening he came back home in the same way. While he was away, the two animals arrived. The girl was sitting with both feet outstretched.


They said to her, "Remain sitting thus until your husband returns." Then they made a hole large enough for the rock to fall into and covered it lightly. In the evening the rock was heard coming. As he was entering above, the girl got up, and the rock dropped into the hole while she ran out of the tent saying: "Let the hole be closed."
"Let the Earth be covered again," said the mole and the badger. They heard the rock inside the Earth, tossing about, buzzing, and angry. The girl returned to her fathers.


They travelled all night, fleeing. In the morning the rock overtook them. As they were going, they wished a canyon with steep cliffs to be behind them. The rock went down the precipice, and while he tried to climb up again, the others went on. It became night again and in the morning the rock was near them once more.


Then the girl said: "This time it shall happen. I am tired and weary from running, my fathers." She was carrying a ball, and, saying: "First for my father," she threw it up and as it came down kicked it upwards, and her father rose up. Then she did the same for the others until all had gone up. When she came to do it for herself the rock was near. She threw the ball, kicked it, and she too rose up.


She said, "We have passed through dangers on my account; I think this is the best place for us to go. It is a good place where we are. I shall provide the means of living for you." To the rock she said. "You shall remain

where you overtook us. You shall not trouble people any longer, but be found wherever there are hills."


She and her father's reached the sky in one place. They live in a tent covered with stars.

Matthew Ward: The Truth about 9/11

Matthew Ward: The Truth about 9/11
September 11, 2010
by Steve Beckow

Matthew at age 17, the time of his transition


Over the years, Matthew Ward has kept us informed of what actually happened on 9/11, what the purpose of 9/11 was, who was responsible for planning and executing it, where their funding came from, what the likelihood of their success will be, and other matters which few other sources can tell us about with authority. Let’s review some of what he has said about 9/11.


Let’s begin then with Matthew’s recitation of what he says actually occurred on Sept. 11, 2oo1.


“I shall mention some of the facts of 9/11 that we in these stations of light know as truth and that can be verified by those among you who are considered experts in their fields.


“The planes were remotely controlled by measures designed to override any manual maneuvers by pilots. The towers were designed to withstand the force of the largest planes hitting them directly.

The towers collapsed due to controlled demolition measures, by explosives strategically located and detonated in timely rhythm; witnesses reported hearing explosions prior to the buildings falling.

“Both the Pentagon and the plane that crashed in the field were hit by scalar beam weaponry.

Regarding the Pentagon, the beams were aimed at the section where a communications group had been recently relocated.


“Results of a major airliner hitting that building at top speed would have penetrated more deeply and devastated more broadly than photos of the destruction showed; further, no one saw any plane approaching that building and there was no way a plane could have struck as the damage showed without being seen at near ground level.” (1)

In September of 2008, he revealed what the deeper purpose of 9/11 was and predicted that, when it became publicly known, the Illuminati would fall:


“The truth about who planned and executed ’9/11′ …. in the higher vibrations in which Earth is now orbiting, … cannot be hidden much longer; when it emerges along with its even deeper purpose than controlling oil resources in the Mideast, which is to dominate the entire planet and kill or enslave its peoples, the Illuminati’s long reign of terror will meet its just end.” (2)


Matthew has identified the lead alphabet agency within the American government mainly responsible for black operations like 9/11: “The major terrorist acts, such as the bombing of the trains in Spain, are planned and executed by the so-called ‘Black Ops’ faction of the CIA.” (3) Moreover, he informs us that the drug trade funds operations like 9/11, HAARP, Area 51, etc.


“The enormously profitable illegal drug industry funds both factions’ ‘black ops,’ including terrorist activities blamed on innocents and vast underground areas where their scientists conduct unconscionable experiments on humankind and develop spacecraft, weaponry, surveillance and weather control systems using technology introduced by the ‘Little Grays.’” (4)


In 2004, as well, he revealed that the galactics have in place a plan to confiscate those funds.


“ET technology will be directed at electronic issues wherein money movement will not go the way the dark forces intend and undetectable glitches in their communication efforts will create confusion and errors. I am not speaking ‘out of school’ here as the dark forces are aware that this has started happening and they cannot locate the origins or detect and correct the flaws. This adds to their fear that they are losing control and their activities will become even more clumsy and obvious until all is ‘brought to light.’” (5)

In mid-September of 2008, he revealed that the Illuminati had allies among a mysterious group, which he does not describe in detail. We do not know if they are galactic or spirit in nature. Were they the Anunnaki? Luciferian spirits? “Relative to dark thought forms, those of antiquity were attracted by those in the planning of ’9/11,’ and the force of that combined energy enabled the Illuminati to manifest that tragic day.” (6)


In May of 2004, he told us that “while we cannot assure you that never will any terrorist acts be successful, we absolutely can assure that none on the scale of 9/11, as currently being speculated, will happen.” (7) In September of 2008, he revealed why: after 9/11 Gaia had asked God not to allow a repetition of a black operation on that scale.


“[9/11] is when Earth chose never again to experience such death and destruction at the hands of dark ones, and in honoring her free will choice, God authorized off-planet helpers to use their technology to prevent all such unconscionable attempts anywhere in the world. Since then they have done so successfully on as many as a dozen occasions.” (8)


Even by the end of 2003, many attempts at a second 9/11 had been foiled by the galactics.


“Many attempts rivaling ’9/11′ that have been undertaken have failed due to the vigilance and technological capabilities of these on- and off-planet beings. This is not interference in your affairs or a denial of the free will of the dark minds, it is in response to the massive free will desire for freedom from terrorist activity that these beings are acting.” (9)


In December of 2004, he revealed that more than twelve second 9/11s had by then been prevented.

“By honoring Earth’s free will to never again experience any terrorist activity like ’9/11,’ God has authorized extraterrestrial intervention to prevent all such attempts and they have successfully done so more than a dozen times since September 11, 2001, including the neutralizing of manmade viruses that were intended to create pandemics.” (10)


Matthew said that the black operatives intended to attack stadiums and malls.


“If people on Earth knew just how much destruction in life and property has been attempted and thwarted, they would reel at the extent to which the dark forces go to retain their control and marvel at the vigilance and capabilities of the extraterrestrial light forces in preventing it.


“When your major media are instructed to send out the colored alerts and specifically mention ‘soft targets’ like sporting events, concerts and shopping malls where a mass of people will be congregating, you can know that terrorism does NOT occur on that scale because the attempts have been prevented. I am not tracking these occasions so I can’t give you an accurate count of these ET interventions—PREventions—but Nirvana’s [i.e., the spirit planes'] monitors of Earth could do so.” (11)


He said this was no arbitrary intervention but a response to growing gaian (terrestrial) desire not to have a repetition of 9/11:


“This is not arbitrary interference by the ETs nor is it a denial of the free will of those who participate in the terrorist plans and attempts; it is the collective feelings of Earth’s population for NO terrorism that is the invitation to the ETs to act.” (12)


Sometimes terrorist alerts themselves were enough to scare the population sufficiently and no actual black operation beyond that was required.


“The ones who give the signal for the higher alerts to be announced are the same ones who do the terrorizing. If the alert alone causes widespread fear, the dark forces don’t need the act itself to generate the negativity they desire and that fear produces. But they can’t pull that off too often or the alerts would become ho-hum. It is when public complacency starts to set in after an alert or two are baseless that our space kin become evermore wary.” (13)


In this message as well, he revealed that the galactics had been outwitted in the case of the Madrid bombings, which they were unable to prevent.


“For those who did not see my comments on the train bombings in Spain, I’d like to mention that it was the cleverness of the dark minds that allowed that effort to be successful.


“The darkness outwitted the light on that occasion and while it was a great sorrow for us and more so for those who believed the false location information regarding the detonators, scrutiny was further tightened after that tragedy that was to have been prevented. And as usual, those who are blamed are not the ones responsible.” (14)


In May of 2004, he explained that “the light forces who have been counteracting major efforts were duped by false information from an Illuminati ‘mole’ and thus were not in position to thwart that tragedy.” (15) He expanded on this account in June of that year.


“The aid of civilizations far advanced of you spiritually, intellectually and technologically has been and will continue to be at the ready to prevent the direst of the predictions, from major explosions to nuclear war. Although monitoring has been diligent, false information by one of the dark forces misguided the Earth teams so that prevention of the train bombings in Spain was thwarted, and since that time, scrutiny has been tightened both on the surface and beyond the planet.


“Additional ETs with extraordinary powers of both perception and self-protection have taken form on the planet, surveillance teams in spacecraft have increased their vigilant missions, and the reporting systems between them and their colleagues on Earth have been expanded. And not least, people formerly convinced that they were being truthfully informed now are realizing that they were supporting the dark side, and they have joined the ranks of the active lightworkers.” (16)
Matthew said at the end of July 2008, that the Illuminati’s structure was weakening and they were no longer able to mount an effort large enough to create another 9/11, even if it were allowed.


“In recent years the intense competition between the two factions, which eroded the power of each, extended to infighting within each faction, thus further weakening all areas of control. With growing distrust of each other within and between the factions, numerous futile attempts to stage another ’9/11,’ the loosening stranglehold on world economy, and defection of lower ranking members, the once solidly entrenched global foundation of the Illuminati now can be likened to scattered piles of rubble.” (17)


By the end of August in 2008, many servants of the illuminati were jumping ship. Matthew felt that the truth could not be suppressed much longer, but he may have been too optimistic.


“More and more souls are ‘seeing the light’ and making U-turns from their dark tendencies, including deserters from the ranks of the Illuminati. Earth’s ascension course, like everything else, is being accelerated, and storms, flooding, fires and earthquakes will continue to relieve negativity’s pressure on the planet. You will see more honest reporting as media controllers’ hold becomes increasingly tenuous; the lid that has been kept on the truth about ’9/11′ cannot remain securely in place a lot longer.” (18)


In April of 2009, Matthew laid out the strategy behind the release of pandemic viruses, which included distracting attention from attempts to uncover 9/11:


“In addition to authorizing the creation of a virus and its intended worldwide fear, the darkly-inclined individuals’ aim is to distract the attention of the populace from their growing demands for peaceful negotiations; indicting responsible ones in the US government who authorized torture; the truth about the perpetrators of `9/11′; what caused the collapse of the global economy; the decades of government cover-up about the presence of extraterrestrials; who operates the illegal drug industry; the real purpose of chemtrails and weather control; the aims of the worldwide Zionist movement; and the `black ops’ behind terrorism around your world. (19)


In July of 2008, Matthew explained that the Illuminati do not want us seeking the truth.


“The Illuminati do NOT want you to think about these matters! The more you think, the more you question and seek the truth; and their intention to control all people through ignorance and deceit unravels more and more. That their former media control has become badly cracked is a devastating blow to the Illuminati and more evidence that the light is being victorious!” (20)
At the end of August in 2008, he again said that the truth could not be suppressed much longer:

“The lid that has been kept on the truth about ’9/11′ cannot remain securely in place a lot longer.” (21) But by Sept. 11, 2010, today’s date, that truth had not yet broken through the Illuminati’s barriers in full force. He put the suppression of truth in historical perspective.


“Truth is not yet surging into your mainstream information outlets, but it is seeping ever more strongly now that the finger is out of the dike, so to say. With this media barrier seriously compromised, the dark ones cannot much longer hide the massive deception that in this moment is only barely exposed to the public, much as the tip of an iceberg is visible while the immense part with potentially lethal destructive power lies out of view.


“There have been attempts to stifle the truth since the dawn of communication on Gaia-Terra-Shan-Earth, and the attempts were successful when darkly-inclined ones controlled the dissemination of information. In modern times, they expected to broaden their web of control with the Internet, but instead, it became their undoing.


“Now factual evidence that until recently was mainly restricted to that source is reaching the public through the perseverance of courageous investigative journalists, other reporters, eyewitnesses and individuals disclosing personal experiences. Not only is there increasing exposure of lies and corruption, but also innovative ways people are adapting to the economic situation are being publicized. The tearing down of mind control via the media has come about because of the ever-intensifying light.” (22)


Apparently Gaia’s desire to be rid of negativity like 9/11 influenced the election of a spiritual figure like President Obama, probbaly by the Law of Attraction:


“Earth, a sentient soul, cried out in her death throes sixty-some years ago for other civilizations’ help to save her planetary body; she chose to have no more terrorism like ’9/11′; she has been ridding herself of negativity so she can rise to vibratory levels where her original health and vibrancy will be restored and the higher consciousness of her humankind will glory in spiritual renewal. The energetic force that has been propelling her ascension out of third density’s darkness has been leading naturally to a spiritually-evolved visionary as president of what you consider your world’s most powerful nation.” (23)

Matthew has thus informed us that the “Black Ops” section of the CIA is planning the so-called terrorist attacks, which historically they funded through their profits from control of the international drug trade. He’s told us that the galactics can prevent all future attacks on the scale of 9/11 but not necessarily smaller terrorist attacks like suicide bombings.


He tells us that the Illuminati structure is weakening and falling apart and that the truth of 9/11 and other similar black operations will eventually emerge. We see how long it has taken for the truth to begin emerging about 9/11. At some near future date, the dam will burst and the truth of 9/11 and all other heinous activities will emerge, bringing about the downfall of the Illuminati.

Your Time

Your Time
posted by Deepak Chopra Oct 19, 2010

We all have a sense that time expands and contracts, seeming to drag one moment and race the next, but what is our constant, our absolute? I believe it is “me,” our core sense of self.


Consider all the subjective qualities we attach to time. We say things like: I don’t have time for that. Time’s up. Your time’s running out. How the time flies. Time hangs heavy. I love you so much, time stands still.
These statements do not say anything about time measured by the clock. The clock doesn’t lie about how much linear time has elapsed “out there.” But subjective time, the kind that exists only “in here,” is a different matter.


All the above statements reflect a state of self. If you’re bored, time hangs heavy; if you’re desperate, time’s running out; if you’re exhilarated, time flies; when you’re in love, time stands still. In other words, whenever you take an attitude toward time, you are really saying something about yourself. Time, in the subjective sense, is a mirror.


The element of time pressure also alters behavior, attitudes, and physiological responses. So subjective time can be an incredibly powerful force. Some people are much more sensitive to time pressure than others. How much better not to feel any time pressure, to blossom fully despite the fact that death exists.


The attitude that life is a blossoming, not a race, can be achieved. To do that, you can’t believe that time is running out. Sending that message to your body’s cells is the same, ultimately, as programming them to age and die.


Yet the fact is that linear time is moving inexorably forward, and to overcome that, we must find a place where a different kind of time, or no time, can be experienced and internalized.

5 home remedies that really work

5 home remedies that really work

Health claims backed by science
© PAUL CHARBIT fotolia.com




The newspapers are full of stories about the miraculous curative powers of some herb or natural extract.

We've looked at the claims made by dozens of herbs and plants, and come up with 5 whose health claims are backed by hard science.



Here they are.



Ginger treats nausea


You may know it as biscuit ingredient or the flavouring of your non-alcoholic beer, but ginger also has well known medicinal properties.


Indeed, research suggests that ginger can safely relieve pregnancy related nausea and vomiting.


Scientists are also looking at whether it is effective for nausea caused by motion, chemotherapy, or surgery.

It is generally safe when taken in small doses.


Garlic lowers blood pressure


You may avoid it on your plate because of its pungent smell and its effect on your breath, but garlic has been used as a medicine for thousands of years.


There is some evidence that it may slightly lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.

Some studies have shown that eating garlic for 1 to 3 months can slightly lower blood cholesterol levels, though this requires further investigation.


Research suggests that garlic consumption may slow the development of arteriosclerosis - the hardening of your arteries, which can lead to heart disease and stroke.


Soy lowers bad cholesterol


Soy is a staple of the Asian diet and has been increasingly popular in the west. Soybeans are high in proteins and contain isoflavones, which are compounds similar to the female hormone oestrogen.


Eating soy on a daily basis has been found to lower slightly the levels of LDD - the bad cholesterol.


Scientists are also looking into whether it is effective in reducing hot flashes in women after menopause.

Peppermint oil helps irritable bowel syndrome


The peppermint herb is widely grown in Europe and is used to flavour foods, as well as to make tea.


It is also made into peppermint oil, which is taken in small doses to treat various conditions.


Several scientific studies have found that it can be effective in improving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

Other studies have found that when peppermint oil is combined with caraway oil, it may help relieve indigestion - but this evidence is preliminary.


Cranberry juice prevents urinary tract infections


More than just a cocktail mixer, cranberries have been used throughout the ages to treat problems as varied as wounds, diarrhoea, urinary problems, and stomach and liver ailments.


Scientists have in recent years found evidence that drinking cranberry juice can help prevent urinary tract infections caused by bacteria such as E. coli.


There is also preliminary evidence that cranberries may reduce the ability of a bacteria called H. pylori to live in the stomach, where it can cause ulcers.


Some studies also suggest that cranberries may be able to reduce dental plaque, which is a cause of gum disease.

Posted by Georgeta MunteanuAttracting ProsperityWorking with magic we have to learn to tap into the natural resources that reside within each of us, the planet is humming with energy, and there is no need for any man, woman or child to live an impoverished life, I believe that as individuals we can change our circumstances at any interval, changing one's circumstance is as easy as changing one's mind, flip the switch, and the light goes on, flip it again and the light goes off, so it goes without saying, that if you really open your eyes and take a look around, you will see the enormous potential to live a life enriched with silver and gold.Prosperity flows to us through many different avenues, one may prosper emotionally in relationships, while another may prosper in material goods. It is up to each of us to decide how we will prosper in this lifetime, each of us must develop a plan of action and implement it, here is a very good example, you decide to open your energy up to the idea of becoming wealthy, or at least marginally increasing your wealth, you outline your plan by writing it down, when you put words down on paper you breathe life into them, the very words that I write here today are a living part of my energy, I am connected to the message, the content is born of my will and I am responsible for the energy that is omitted, the written and spoken word is very powerful, as you write or speak you thereby project your will unto the universe, the words are the catalyst and your will the magnet, as you do, so does your will, so, if you live life carefree, you will live a life that is a lot less stressful, but, if you live life always expecting the worse possible outcome, you will always manifest a mess for yourself to cleanup, and you will always be hindered, and you will never reach your golden potential.Getting back to what I was saying earlier, developing a plan is useless unless you really implement it, outlining your goals by putting words down on paper will get the energy flowing, but it is not enough to manifest the fortune of your desire, remember that every action has a reaction, if you do not act, there is nothing for the universe to react too, writing this article brings back the memory of a client that I met a few years back, he complained always of his inability to attract money, he had been stuck in a dead-end job for five years that paid barely above minimum wage, in the process of talking to him I asked him besides going to work what else are you doing to get a better job or to attract money? He replied nothing, I just don't feel lucky, and then I asked him why don't you feel lucky? And he replied because the few times that I bought a lottery ticket I gained nothing, I played the scratch offs a few times, and nothing happened.Well, here is what I had to say to him, you cannot seriously believe that the powers that be would just immediately hand you the winning ticket, and it is rare to be walking down the street and a sack full of money just falls from the sky and lands at your feet, I believe that each of us must pay our dues and build our luck, now, this doesn't mean spending every last dime to play the lottery, after all it only takes one ticket, but, that ticket is not going to find its way to someone with an I can't attitude, nor, is it going to grace you with its presence if you lack a plan. My client above will in no doubt die a broken man, and it is really sad when you think about it, he spends all his energy feeling sorry for himself, clinging to desperation, when what he should be doing is searching for and embracing the solution, I think this happens with a lot of people, instead of searching for the fix, they spend all their time feeling badly because aspects of their lives are broken, and focusing on the broken aspects of our lives are not the answer, instead acknowledge the aspects that need to be fixed, and then spend that valuable energy in finding ways to attract the solution to yourself, like attracts like, what is broken, will crumble and fallout from beneath you like a bad foundation that a million dollar mansion was built on, but, repairing that foundation will only prove to make things better and your positive energy stronger, be strong in mind and pure in heart, for a strong mind and a pure heart makes for one hell of a strong magnet pulling and pulling your desires into manifestation!There are steps that we must take to get our prosperity energy flowing, first we must realize that winning the lottery is possible, hitting the jackpot at the casino is possible, snagging a jackpot at bingo is possible, experiencing a life changing event is possible, in fact all the above scenarios are possible, we are only limited by our own attitudes, and this is in all aspects of our lives and not just where prosperity is concerned, but, we can prosper in all areas, emotionally, we can attract a wealth of love, mentally, we can attract a wealth of knowledge, which by the way can lead to winning big in life, physically, we can attract a wealth of hot sex, great health, and a fabulous body, money is also a material manifestation, but, before we can manifest anything we have to first decide what we want, need and desire, and then we have to implement a way of materializing it, desire is fine, desire is simply not enough, desire it, energize it, live it, breathe it, sleep with it, become one with it, close your eyes and look inwardly with your minds eye, can you see it? Oh, come on now, your not blind, and even if you were sightless, your inner eye is never blinded, your inner voice is never silent, except when you ask it to be, you are already wealthy, look within and unlock the knowledge, and once you unlock that vault pull those tools from their crypt and use them!I know that most of my clients are gamblers, people who dabble in magic are notorious for playing their games of chance, but, just because you play the lottery doesn't mean that you will win, and even if you win, how long do you think that money will last, without a plan? I am currently working with a client who has some very specific and realistic goals, when she asked me to work with her on her prosperity I told her that I needed a list of goals, I instructed her to tell me what she would do with the money that she wins from playing the lottery, and the first list that she provided me lacked luster, so, I rejected it, and I ask her to rewrite her list and send it to me again, and so she did, now for her privacy I am going to call her Marie.Marie has incurred about 30 thousand dollars in credit card debt, all her accounts have been closed and she has a repossession against her and her house was foreclosed on, the great thing about Marie is that instead of focusing on all the debt that she absolutely could not even start to make a dent in, she acknowledged that she owes the money and she pledged to the universe her intent to repay her creditors, she devised a plan in which she will play the lottery, other games of chance, such as the slots, scratch offs and to keep herself afloat she has taken a second job, all which are very positive things, now, I do not go around advocating that anyone should play games of chance, that is a personal decision, but, I will say this, if you are going to gamble, approach the game with an open mind and a winning attitude and do not use the money that you would otherwise pay your bills with, remember that it only takes one ticket to win, a dollar investment could change your life forever, now, back to Marie.The second list that Marie submitted to me was exactly what I was looking for, and I could tell that she had really given some thought to her desires and that she had not simply submitted a random list of I wants to me, for her list contained emotion, her list contained motion, motion is the act of doing, emotion is the need, the words that she wrote sizzled on the screen, and her list was nothing more than any red blooded being could expect or want out of life. The first thing that she outlined was her commitment to payoff her creditors, secondly she wanted a new car, nothing fancy, as long as it was new and paid for and finally she wanted to purchase a condo for herself and pay cash for it so that she would always have a place to call home, Marie is single, no kids and she has never been married, she was the only child whose parents died when she was young, the last thing that she wrote to me was her desire to leave her money, car, belongings and condo to someone less fortunate on her passing, a selfless act of love and kindness, and I am sure that she scored a few very positive karmic points with the Gods, now, Marie is still a young and vibrant woman, fortyish or so, so I expect that unless there is a plan that I am unaware of she will be around for a very longtime to come.The only thing that I disagreed with Marie on was the fact that she limited herself by capping the amount of her winnings, for she estimated that she would need about 250 thousand dollars, and of course, the man would get his share and she would have whatever is left after the greed of bureaucracy violated her winnings. Like I told Marie it is okay to have an estimate in mind for what you expect to pay for your items at large, but, Marie limited the flow of prosperity by naming a certain number, and like I told her why settle for 250 thousand dollars, when the universe may try to gift you with millions and millions, to date Marie and I have worked together for about a year, and while she has yet to win the big jackpot, she has laid claim to some sizable pools of money, she has already paid off her credit card debt, and since I explained to her that when we use credit cards that we are actually borrowing from our future prosperity energy, she has made the decision to snip and clip the cards, life is better lived in the now, and if we pay our way today the cost of living only gets better!Marie defined her need, she then devised a plan of action, she carried out her plan by playing her chosen games of chance, and she followed through by paying off her debt to her creditors, in fact she has become so good at drawing prosperity to herself that she was able to give up her second job about three months after she and I started working together, the universe will rarely bless those individuals who create negative karma for themselves by incurring bad debt and then asking for success and luck all the while ignoring the fact that they owe money to those individuals or institutions that entrusted them to live up to their obligations and to pay their debts, Marie and I have worked on many magical endeavors together, it took a great deal of cleansing and a good bit of spell casting to create a positive flow of energy for her, but, spell casting and energy cleansing alone would not have worked, it was the entire combination of energy that was put forth that allowed for her financial return.Marie has not limited herself to playing the lottery alone, she lives in Alabama and she visits a casino that is about 20 minutes from her home, there she bets on the dogs, which as a dog lover I am really not for, but, hey to each their own, she plays bingo there and she plays a variety of slot machines, she sets aside a hundred dollars a week to gamble on, and in the process she has managed to create a way in which a second income flows through to her, being the nosey witch that I am I asked Marie about how much she averages during a weekend, she said that it varies, but usually somewhere between 600 hundred and a 1000 dollars, not too shabby for a woman who was one paycheck away from being homeless, but, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing would have worked out for Marie if she had continued approaching her life with an, I can't attitude! I am very happy that Marie has managed to create a second income for herself, she is finally doing something that she loves and it shows, you may as well say that Marie has developed a part-time weekend business for herself, and from what she told me in our last conversation she plans to take it fulltime very soon, and with that she has my blessing!There are many different ways that one can manifest prosperity, starting a business, working hard at a job that offers a potential of a greater return on down the line, but, whatever road we choose to travel we have to keep moving, and we cannot allow ourselves to become discouraged, I am a firm believer that what we project is what we attract, if we develop our minds and we discipline ourselves to live life as we desire, the life that we desire will embrace us, the life that we desire will flow forth from the land of ideas where our dreams reside and manifest into our physical realities, there is no harm in dreaming, providing that our dreams are realistic and that we avoid the bubble of pipe dreams and that we are willing to work hard to bring that in which we dream of into reality!Dream big and live large, for a life that is lived to the fullest, is a life lived well!Prosperity And Abundance!Blessed bethe author: Phelan

Could yeast be disturbing your digestion?


Could yeast be disturbing your digestion?


What is a systemic yeast infection (candidiasis)?

Women often equate yeast infections with vaginal yeast, rarely connecting yeast with what’s going on in their gut. Candida albicans is a fungal organism that is present in virtually everyone’s intestinal tract in small amounts. In a healthy gut, it is kept under control by normal immune system activity and beneficial microbes such as intestinal lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and others, including competitive yeasts. An intestinal environment that supports optimal balance between these myriad populations can easily be upset by such factors as:

• A diet high in refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fats
• Inadequate dietary fiber
• Impaired immune function (typically due to stress or illness)
• Use of medication such as antibiotics, steroids, birth control or other hormonal therapy
• Environmental or food sensitivities

Like any opportunist, Candida albicans will take advantage when conditions permit. Once that balance is upset, this organism is more likely to change form and proliferate, invading and colonizing our body tissues. Although it may first come to our attention in the form of a vaginal yeast infection or as oral thrush, Candida albicans can spread and become a serious problem — causing diverse symptoms not just in the reproductive or digestive systems but in multiple other systems in the body.

Yeast sensitivity, sugar cravings, and your digestion

When Candida proliferates, it changes form, morphing from a simple, relatively harmless one into one that is capable of penetrating the intestinal lining. This elicits low-grade inflammation in the gut and causes breakdown of the boundary between the intestinal tract and the circulatory system. Known as leaky gut, increased intestinal permeability allows incompletely digested food particles and yeast cells to pass through and enter the blood stream. The immune system soon identifies these large particles as foreign, and ramps itself up to deal with them.

In part, food sensitivities and allergies are thought to develop as a result of this process — the invaders that make it across the gut into the blood get labeled as dangerous, and the immune system remembers them the next time it encounters them, and reacts accordingly. People with candidiasis may need to avoid foods containing other yeasts and fungi from their diets because of this cross-sensitivity — the molecular subcomponents they contain are similar or identical to those found in Candida, so the immune system cannot distinguish between them and responds accordingly.

Uncomfortable digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, and bubbling in the gut arise because an overgrowth of yeast leads to the fermentation of foods instead of the digestion of foods.

Along with these unpleasant symptoms, yeasts ferment sugars into alcohol, which destabilizes blood sugar and leads to intense cravings for more sugar.

I find it fascinating that these tiny organisms can get us to do exactly what they want us to do — eat more carbs and sugar!

Many of my patients with yeast issues fear that they will never again be able to eat sweets, carbohydrates, or anything containing yeast, but such stringent measures are usually only needed for a time. Most women find that once they remove the conditions that favor yeast overgrowth, they can once again enjoy these foods without going overboard.


Minimize yeast — an at-home approach

It’s empowering to know that yeast is only thriving in your gut because of the current environment and that when you change the environment, you can make a yeast infection go away. To change the environment in your gut, I encourage you to use a combination approach, including dietary changes, supplements, and lifestyle changes that provide a natural remedy for candidiasis.

When beginning dietary and other changes to reduce yeast, you may notice that your symptoms suddenly worsen. This toxic feeling, which generally lasts about 7–10 days, may be caused by the Herxheimer or “die-off” reaction. Symptoms may also return if you eat something unknowingly that rejuvenates yeast. If you feel symptoms of bloating, gas, or stomach upset for whatever reason, you can lessen your discomfort by taking activated charcoal tablets with the onset of symptoms. Be sure to drink ample amounts of water, and, as your digestive system allows, include plenty of dietary fiber.

You may want to add a natural soluble fiber supplement to your daily regime, such as a psyllium husk powder. Simply stir a tablespoon or so into a glass of soy, nut or cow’s milk, or blend it into a smoothie. (I recommend avoiding Metamucil as it contains artificial ingredients and is far more costly than natural psyllium husks.) This amount of fiber can be difficult for some who are just beginning to heal their digestive distress, but is something to work up to as you feel better.


Here’s what I recommend to minimize systemic yeast:

Natural antifungals

Should your symptoms of candidiasis persist after changing your diet and adding a multivitamin, omega-3’s, and probiotics, you may want to consider more intensive antifungal support.

Talk to a qualified naturopath or functional medicine practitioner about trying the following natural antifungals to help limit yeast overgrowth:

• Candex
• Berberine
• Oil of oregano
• Garlic
• Citrus seed extract (e.g., ParaMicrocidin)
• Pau d’arco
• Isatis tinctoria (indigowoad root)
• Undecylenic acid
• Caprylic acid

• Follow a healthy yeast-free diet. Maintain a diet high in whole foods, particularly with plenty of colorful, fiber-rich vegetables, regular moderate amounts of protein, moderate healthy fats, and virtually no simple sugars. Ideally the diet needs to be free of artificial coloring, flavoring, or fillers, as well as sweeteners. Those with Candida need to go on a yeast-free diet until they complete the initial healing phase. See our guidelines for a yeast-free diet.

• Replenish essential nutrients. Many women who have struggled with yeast over the long-term also have nutritional deficiencies as a result of poor nutrient digestion and absorption. To help compensate for this, take a high-quality multivitamin/mineral complex daily. If you have yeast, you will do best with one that is formulated to be highly bioavailable and easily digested, like the one we offer in our Personal Program. Also be sure you’re getting vitamin C, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega-3’s.

• Add a probiotic. Repopulate your gut with friendly microbes that displace Candida and help to digest your food, rather than ferment it. For more details, see our article on probiotics, which includes guidelines on how to choose a good probiotic supplement.

• Explore natural and prescription antifungals. There are numerous natural antifungals found in the natural world (see box). When necessary, effective but strong prescription medications can also be called upon. I sometimes prescribe Diflucan and alternate it with Nystatin if symptoms persist.

• Consider a stool analysis. Yeast syndrome is still poorly understood, and it can be misdiagnosed in both conventional and alternative circles. So please be sure to talk with your practitioner about all your options, and ask for a Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis first, to confirm the presence of yeast.


You are unique — and so is your relationship with yeast

It’s important to remember that we are all unique and our symptoms, reactions, and healing times are, too. This is particularly true with yeast issues, and for this reason the layered approach I’ve described works very well. Some women notice wonderful changes by simply changing their diets, others succeed with natural antifungal, and still others will require prescription medication. In a recent article on yeast, functional medicine practitioner Dr. Mark Hyman wrote:

In medical school, we are taught that you either have a disease or you don’t. It’s black and white. However, our bodies weren’t designed with an “on” or “off” switch for disease. All diseases occur in shades of gray along a continuum of imbalance...

This is such an important lesson for all of us. There’s a spectrum to all wellness and disease. Find the place where you feel best, and remember how you got there. You don’t have to completely eliminate your body of yeast. You just have to contain it so that you feel well. With some time and deliberate modifications, you will be feeling better than ever!

Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief

Adapted from Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief by David Winston and Steven Maimes (Healing Arts Press, 2007).


In the West, we don’t have a perfect word to describe the mind-body-spirit connection. We sometimes use the terms psychospiritual and psychophysiology to express the mind-body-spirit connection. There is also psychoneuroimmunology, the study of mind-body interactions and their effects on the immune system. Mind-body and/or spiritual energy are integrated with, not separate from, our physical body, and many believe that good health includes nourishing this connection.


Several adaptogen herbs have been used to aid meditation and deliver nutrients to the mind that are necessary for the experience of enlivened consciousness. They can be used as aids to elevate the mood and spirit and to calm the mind. The following adaptogens have been used to enhance the mind-body-spirit connection: Asian ginseng, holy basil, licorice, reishi and shatavari.


• Asian ginseng calms the spirit and helps one gain wisdom. It also could be said that ginseng calms the distressed mind while strengthening the body.


• Holy basil affects the body’s “energy field” according to Ayurvedic physician and author Dr. Vasant Lad, Holy basil opens the heart and the mind, bestowing the energy of love and devotion (bhakti).


• Licorice commonly is used as a tea by Buddhist monks and called “the peacemaker” herb by the Chinese. Licorice root tea helps calm and prepare the mind for meditation.


• Reishi generates a sense of inner calm and harmony while also heightening mental perception, both logical and intuitive.


• Shatavari is thought to foster the energy of tolerance and compassion.

Heart attack symptoms in men and women



Heart attack symptoms in men and women
Symptoms the same for both, study finds
© beerkoff - Fotolia.com



The symptoms of a heart attack is men and women are very similar, a new study has found.

"Both the media and some patient educational materials frequently suggest that women experience symptoms of a heart attack very differently from men," said Martha Mackay from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, who led the study. "These findings suggest that this is simply not the case."


In the study, scientists monitored the symptoms of 305 patients undergoing angioplasty - a procedure which involves inserting and inflating a balloon into narrowed arteries to expand them.

This briefly causes symptoms in the patient simililar to those experienced during a heart attack.


Researchers found no difference in the symptoms reported by men and women, including rates of chest discomfort and 'typical' signs such as arm discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, indigestion-like symptoms, and clammy skin.


While both women and men experienced typical or non-typical symptoms, women were, however, more likely to report throat, jaw and neck discomfort than men.


"Clear educational messages need to be crafted to ensure that both women and healthcare professionals realize the classic symptoms are equally common in men and women", Ms MacKay said.


She added that suspected heart disease patients should be questioned more thoroughly about their symptoms by doctors.

Diamond Alignment

Namaste all,

It has been quite a while since I have been actively on multiple Ning networks.

With respect to free will, this is a journal intended to capture useful tools for others and not intended for any marketing purpose. It is what I have found to be beneficial over the last year and wanted to share to help awaken others. Life is about all of us together and not just me. It is my intent to help you by providing seeds of knowledge/spiritual empowerment for any of you who wish to nuture them.

First and foremost, here is a great free empowerment I have found to be beneficial:

http://www.diamondalignment.com/scholarship/play6minute.php

It has been a year of transformation for me, a refinement of that which I thought was already refined. Of course the path never stops, there is no end but many new beginnings.

Many many have wondered what had become of Chris Comish- aka Qan Dek. There had been continued initiations beyond what I imagined and the flow of life continues to offer rich experiences. The focus of my consciousness has shifted from "I am ready to leave earth and turn into Light" to "I relish all opportunities to be of service to all of creation and All That Is. Thank you for the opportunity to manifest Love & Light on this plane of existence. All is well and all will be well. Love is the glue of the universe."

Following the tradition of my mentors Enoch and Archangel Metatron (or shall I say one in the same) I have recorded within four books significant amounts of attunements with a lifespan of inifinity for all of humanity to receive. This has been my offering to the Creator as an offering to all of Creation to enjoy, accelerate the Light Body activation and return to Universal/Cosmic consciousness that We are All One ~ All Connected.

Recently there has been significant study of the Law of One series by Carla Rueckert and I thoroughly enjoyed the consciousness enhancements, I would recommend them to each of you.

Currently I am continuing to read the 25 years of channeling from Carla Rueckert as well as the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

I have been exposed to the work of Anrita Melchizedek (http://www.pleiadianlight.net/) and Michelle Erloff a.k.a. The Lightweaver (http://www.thelightweaver.org) as well as current updates from the Children of the Sun Foundation. The multi-dimensional teachings and channelings have accelerated the Adam Kadmon blueprint manifestation, and it is with great gratitude that the Creator so abundantly provides blessings to all.

This site here has been a blessing thanks to the hard work of many and it is with great gratitude that this beautiful energy of love is shared for all of us to enjoy. Thank you again for all contributing.

Blessings to all of you, all of creation, and All That Is

Qan Melchizedek

Our campaign is growing so fast it's getting talked about in the national papers. [1]We’re proving that the public doesn’t want our forests sold off. If enough of us get involved in this campaign, we can make the government back down.Now we need to prove we are not just a flash in the pan. Let’s aim to get past 50,000 signatures this week. That will show the government this campaign is going to keep growing until they change their plans.Please can you help protect forests for wildlife and future generations by asking more people to sign the petition?Please forward this e-mail and ask your friends to sign by clicking here:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/save-our-forestsIf you use Facebook, please also share the petition on your profile by clicking here:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/forests-facebook-shareIf you use Twitter, please also send a “Tweet” about the petition by clicking here:http://www.38degrees.org.uk/forests-twitter-shareAncient forests like the Forest of Dean and Sherwood Forest are national treasures.

This could mean ancient woodlands are chopped down and destroyed. Walkers and endangered animals, like red squirrels and owls, would have to make way for Center Parcs-style holiday villages, golf courses, and logging companies. [1]We need to stop these plans.

That means we have time to stop them. If we build a huge petition, we will prove that the public doesn’t want precious woodland to be flogged off. That will make MPs think twice about voting for it.When we work together, we can stop the government from forcing through these kind of bad plans.

UK scientists develop new test for prostate cancer
More accurate and cheaper than existing methods
© Alexander Raths - Fotolia.com Thu 14 Oct, 2010


A team of UK scientists has developed a new method to test for the presence of prostate cancer which is twice as accurate as the existing method.


Current prostate cancer detection

When doctors screen for prostate cancer, they take a blood sample which is tested for the level of the protein prostate specific antigen (PSA), which is the most abundant protein in semen. Men with prostate cancer typically have higher levels of PSA. But other factors can result in high PSA, such as infection or a non-cancerous tumour. In fact two out of three men with raised PSA levels do NOT have prostate cancer.


Crucially, the test can only detect the possible existence of prostate cancer - it cannot be used to predict the possibility of the man developing the disease in the future.


Therefore the current test has poor reliability, and is difficult and expensive to use. This has prevented the introduction of a national screening program for prostate cancer. As prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, causing 10,000 deaths each year, screening for the disease to allow early diagnosis and treatment could save many lives.


About the new test


The team, from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute and The Institute of Cancer Research, looked at the second most common protein in semen, microseminoprotein-beta (MSMB). Levels of this protein are in fact reduced in cases of prostate cancer. This reduction is linked to a genetic "marker" which is a good predictor for prostate cancer risk. Importantly, MSMB is secreted into the urine from semen, so a simple urine test can be used to measure its level.


Furthermore MSMB levels do not seem to be affected by an enlarged prostate or by hormone levels - both major drawbacks with the current test.


Lead author Dr Hayley Whitaker said: "We looked in tissue and urine from over 350 men with and without prostate cancer to find out how much MSMB they had. We then looked to see who had the genetic change. It was really exciting to find out that the genetic change and the amount of protein were linked."


Co-author Professor Rosalind Eeles explained: "Our studies have shown that men with a small change in their MSMB gene are at a higher risk of prostate cancer, and so we are very excited that there may be a simple test for this genetic change."


Additional work is now required to develop the test into a viable testing kit. The researchers suggest that the price could be as low as £5 or £6 per test - a third less than the current PSA test.
The research is published in PLoS ONE.

A potentially killer disease - facts, figures and symptoms


Prostate cancer kills 1 man every hour in the UK - so don't be one of them - know the symptoms, and then report to your doctor!


One in twelve men in the UK will develop prostate cancer - but 60% of men don't know the symptoms of this potentially killer disease.


Symptoms of prostate cancer


One of the problems with prostate cancer is that in its early stages it often does not cause any obvious symptoms. When they do occur they may include any of the following:


• Needing to rush to the loo to wee.
• Passing urine more often, daytime and/or night-time
• Slow at getting the flow or urine started
• Weaker flow of urine
• Starting and stopping whilst passing urine
• Discomfort (pain or burning) whilst peeing
• Feeling of not having emptied the bladder fully
• Dribbling after you've finished peeing
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pain or stiffness in the back, hips or pelvis


Many of these symptoms can be due to just simple enlargement of the prostate, which occurs as men get older. This is not cancer and is called Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) - 'benign' meaning non-cancerous, 'prostatic' meaning relating to the prostate, and 'hypertrophy' just means enlargement.


If you're a man over the age of 40 with any of the above symptoms, don't put it down to just getting older - tell your GP!
