"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it
in his every action"
.................
FEATURES:
Dharma is the divine quality which is natural to and
inherent in man. It will destroy maya, the illusion
of the world, individuality and separateness. The
letters in the word man, whereby man is meant a true
human being regardless of gender, the letter m stand
for maya removed, the letter a stands for atma
seen and the letter n stands for nirvana
attained. In other words, remove the ego I, have the
vision of the inner Lord and merge in the joy of your
immortal self, the atma
this is what makes up dharma,
this is the essential duty of man. Repeatedly, again
and again you should contemplate this.
Satya Sai Baba
The Nature of Dharma from the Sai Baba Gita
Beloveds, We wish you a glorious Spring and send you
many Blessings. Our gathering for World Peace was
very delicious. We talked about Being in Charge with
Love. We mentioned the Prime Minister from Indias
quote about how It Is Impossible to Stop an Idea
Whose Time Has Come in reference to his country. We
saw application for this quote in other places as
well.
Our discussion led to this intent for World Peace: WE
ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT
THAT HARMONIZES US.
Please join us the first Sunday of each month. We
gather at 3 pm rocky mountain time, we take time to
share, and breathe using BBL -VFF breath/meditation
and then we usually have a fabulous baked goodie. You
can join us wherever you are with BBL - VFF breath/
meditation. Bursting the Body Light - Violet Flame of
Forgiveness. Victory to us! Jai Ma!

Daily Inspiration:
There is nothing that wastes the
body like worry, and one who has any faith in God
should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
Put Your Light Into Money...
Put Your Light Into Money...
Put Your Light Into Money...
"Let there be Light!" and "God is LIGHT" are no empty
divine statements! When and where light comes, the
DARK must retreat - and be no more!
Everything in the Universe moves and interacts through
a vast vibrational field OF LIGHT. Each and every
snowflake, raindrop, grain of sand, human, animal or
mineral "form" has its own very unique vibrational
light tone, which self-places it at any self
identified "level" within its part of the Light
Spectrum of the Universe. This applies to any "form"
of any kind, be it a person, a rock, a chair (even a
coin or all kinds and values of dollar bills),
including Euros, Pounds, Pesos, Yen, etc.
As most folks in vibrational medicine or hologram
science or quantum physics and virtual reality
programs know, anything through focus, by a
man-devised gadget or device, or the human mind
itself- can be given a select constructive or
destructive electric or electro-magnetic "charge" into
it!
Depending on the amount of "charge" the newly charged
form will "hold that charge" (or extra light) for a
given time.
Thus, as Great Teachers guiding our human race on
Earth have pointed out, having been given free will,
we can each place our "intent" into whatever we choose
and thus bring about a higher, more uplifting reality,
or a further greatly degraded reality in our personal
world and through our shared worlds of reality.
The creative power of the mind is awesome, and is
much, much more so when a large group of folks stand
strong in their hearts and minds about any given
course of human or spiritual action or any joint, or
unified project!
Now then think! Money flows like water all over the
world non-stop, and is mostly now greatly tinged or
"shaded" if not colored with greed, lust, and evil
diabolical power over others (even over nations). Most
money today is loaded with the heavy feeling of
drudgery, of hard "work" or sheer "heaviness", and in
seeming greatly LIMITED personal supply!
MONEY - is greatly desired for what it can do to
relieve the pain and suffering and hardship of taxes,
slavery, ill health, and everything else that
blatantly ails humankind on Earth today!
Money only carries a "light" or joyful vibration when
we each personally have plenty in our pockets or
purses or bank account to meet our own and our
family's seeming never-ending daily, weekly or monthly
bills and debts or personal obligations! The momentary
upliftment of money is fast gone, for almost without
exception, for us masses, it soon disappears from our
hands.
THINK now, in light of this, what a grand loving,
thrilling light-filled movement we can initiate
together (in joy and powerful unity) - IF from this
moment on - every time we have a coin, a dollar bill,
or any amount or kind of "currency" in our hands
(receiving it or giving it) we each FEEL and mentally
project as much white, white or gold dazzling light as
we can imagine into that money? Be assured, soon - the
money of the entire world will suddenly or eventually
all be CHARGED WITH GREAT LIGHT!
It will be like the sudden flashing, light-filled,
grand appearance, announcement, and implementation of
NESARA!
Notice; turn the light on in any room and what
happens? The DARK must vanish when LIGHT appears!
Always and always! The Light of God never fails! And
LIGHT by its very innate nature is forever God
"Substance". Without light there is no life...
LIGHT that you personally call forth via YOUR mind
from God who is within you, through and around you,
and beats your heart, and gives you each single
life-giving breath after breath, day and night, can
never be destroyed! You can give your light to money,
for money never is, and never was, the root of all
evil. It was and is the possession and HOLDING of
money, dimming the light within it, that is the ROOT
OF ALL EVIL...
The Light you give of yourself, from your unique Life
Stream to whomever, or whatever, including money,
coins and currency, as proposed here IN THIS MOVEMENT
will never, never ever vanish from Earth!
It will in fact (as pointed out to me by those "in the
Light" - make money "too hot to handle" by the current
evil forces that now dominate and totally hold
soul-less iron control over world affairs via their
soul-less and DARK use of MONEY!
Money is mainly used worldwide now to further the
interests of more and more DARK MONEY transactions.
For proliferation of "legal" and illegal drug sales
and manufacture (CODEX laws, etc), for maintaining
drug and black oil pollution of Earth. It is held and
used to further huge black war destroying and war
re-building efforts and self-generates more and more
dark profits at the grave expense of our many innocent
sons and daughters. Who are put in uniform and sent to
WAR with their precious young lives destroyed before
our eyes today. And all this openly done foul
desecration is ignored by a money paid mass media,
that is fully and subtly controlled by that same
darkly charged and tainted money that flows around the
entire Earth today (and passes in and out of our
hands)!
We can change this very WRONG PICTURE very, very FAST!
The "sinister" or dark forces that now hold control of
all our major affairs on Earth can and do hold great
MIGHT over all "outer" major world events and things -
but they have no such power over our hearts or minds!
Only IF we allow it!
And by joining this "Put LIGHT Into MONEY Movement"
from this moment on - YOU can begin to help make a
mighty huge transformation of ALL major world affairs
(almost 'over night') simply by putting your mental
and emotional LIGHT into all MONEY you see or handle
(or envision worldwide)!
Simply keep on, and on, an on, putting your light into
money!
It makes no difference what country you live in or
what kind of coins or currency you know and handle.
Simply, from this moment on, put YOUR vision of light
into all money you see, feel or read, or hear about!
Believe me, the power in this idea is strong enough to
move worlds and shake all darkness off the face of
Earth - and YOU can contribute to it! Just put your
light into money...all money, seen or imagined.
Remember DARKNESS disappears almost in a flash, while
all LIGHT retains identity fovever and expands and
goes on forever and forever. You and I, and all others
who START and keep this "Put Your Light Into Money"
movement GOING, on, and on, and on, can and will make
a vast and very evident positive difference! It is
time our world being ruled by DARK MONEY ends now! It
can, and it will end fast, providing enough of us keep
swelling, and swelling this movement!
Contact every light worker you know anywhere and
present this mighty Light "movement" to him or her,
especially those you may personally know like Jimmy
Twyman, Steve Rother, Michael Moore, etc., etc., etc.
I will personally contact Dr. Joshua Stone - and lay
this format out before him and his beloved wife and
great band of loyal light workers.
Remember, dear ones...this will work, but only if we
hold fast, if we keep our attention on it, day in, and
day out, and just keep on forever reminding ourselves
and others we know, to put light into money
everywhere!
Let's do it! Start now with the money in your pockets
or purses and wallets. Put light into your money...
Please keep circulating this message worlwide,
non-stop! Bless your heart. I AM, Michael
Age-Reversal@aon.at.

"There are some people that if they don't know, you
can't tell 'em."
Louis Armstrong
1. Check in on your breathing frequently. Notice how
you are breathing. If you're breathing through your
mouth in your ordinary daily activities, remind
yourself to breathe through your nose. If you catch
yourself holding your breath, remind yourself to keep
breathing. When you feel stressed out, try the "A
simple Breathing Practice..." mentioned below as often
as you can. Above all, remember that you are a
breathing being, alive now and here. Notice how this
perception frees you from your habitual thoughts and
emotions. If you haven't already done so, pick up a
copy of my book "Free Your Breath, Free Your Life,"
and learn about the relationship of breathing to
health and well-being.
2. If you have high blood pressure, you may well be
helped by learning how to slow your breathing down. I
explain the principles of this on my website and in my
books. In addition to working with your breathing
through the kinds of practices that I write about, you
might also benefit from trying this safe, simple,
non-invasive medical device to help slow down your
breathing. Click on the link below to learn more.

3. Take the best fish oil you can find. It will supply
your body with the Omega-3 fatty acids it needs not
just to maintain your health but also for healing. You
can learn about the importance of fish oil and the one
that I like the most at:
http://www.authentic-breathing.com/fish_oil.htm
You can also read some information on fish oil toward the
bottom of this newsletter.
4. Help purify and energize your body with "E3LivE"
the world's first and only fresh-frozen 100%
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). E3Live, a high-quality
form of blue green algae, targets hidden nutritional
deficiencies and detoxifies your body. Visit:
http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/visione3/t.asp?id=1501
5. Take a brisk 30 minute walk at least four or five
times a week. This will not only burn calories and
help your circulation but will benefit your breathing.
Let your arms swing comfortably as you walk. Really
let your body move as it wishes as you walk and see
how this influences your breathing. Be sure to breathe
only through your nose. If you wish to exhale through
your mouth, that's fine, as long as it is a long slow
exhalation through pursed lips (as though you were
slowly and gently blowing on something). If you have
Type-2 diabetes, be sure to also take a 10-minute walk
after every meal.
6. Don't read every negative or violent headline or
watch every negative or violent TV story or movie that
you may be drawn to. Impressions are food--food for
your nervous system, mind, and spirit. Dwelling
constantly on the negative will undermine your
physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. And it
will have a huge, negative impact on your breathing.
7. Spend some quiet time alone with yourself every
day. Allow yourself to return home to simple
welcoming--the awareness of your sensations, thoughts,
and emotions without saying "I" to any of them. You
can learn more about this practice of simple welcoming
and awareness through many sources. Some of my
favorites are books by Krishnamurti, Jean Klein,
Adyashanti, and Eckhart Tolle. You will also find some
references to this practice in my own books and on my
personal website.

The "10 session" Rebirther
by Heiki Strombach - RBI Coordinator Europe
Sometimes people ask me, if Leonard Orr is still
teaching the principle of 10 sessions, and that this
is a little outdated, they add. Yes, we still
recommend 10 sessions, and a good Rebirther has the
following goals for their clients in mind. To give 10
Sessions does not mean, that we can not give more. But
10 sessions is the average amount of session people
need, to learn to breathe energy as well as air by
themselves. Rebirthing/breath work is a possibility to
heal yourself and to grow spiritually and to connect
to the source. The goals of the first 10 sessions are:
1. To get beyond physical drama, that means to
maintain the connected breathing rhythm in spite of
physical pain. (Which will be overcome by the healing
power of the breath).
2. Healing the hyperventilation syndrome, tetany,
cramps, to let them go forever. They are the result of
fear, often of birth trauma.
3. To get beyond emotional drama, that means to feel
emotions without acting them out and maintaining the
breathing.
4. Having the breath release. Afterwards the breathing
is easy and calm!
5. To learn to breathe energy as well as air!
6. To breathe every day for an hour without
supervision.
These are the main goals for the first 10 session..
Often people come to our seminars, who have been
seeing their breath worker for years every week for a
session and still are not able to breathe energy as
well as air by themselves or getting beyond tetany
That is good income for the breathworker, but does not
correspond to being able to do it themselves. That
does not mean that some people might need a lot more
support then 10 sessions. Breathing is our birth right
and we can use it by ourselves for our spiritual
growth any time we need or we like.. Please write to
us about your experiences.
Love Yours Heike

This is regarding an article about our Constitution
and what has happened to bring about the federal
reserve bank, IRS and the whole war machine.
None of us like to admit that we might be ignorant
about the goings on of our country and we show our
courage by admitting it and asking questions. One of
our friends-a reader did this and I felt Kelleys
response to her was worth a read to the rest of us.
Reader:
I always dislike admitting that I might be ignorant -
but, I am going out on that limb now. I have no idea
why this is relevant or important. It seems the
references are 'old' as are many of our laws - like
'spitting on the sidewalk'. Has something NEW occurred
here? and, is there really an enemy?
Kelley:
If we do not understand this...then they have us
right where they want us...IGNORANT.
Well, for some of us it isn't "new" news...however,
that doesn't make it less relevant...If we do not know
who is running this country and why--then they will
continue to do so.
Furthermore, it ("the enemy") is all just our
collective reflection...AND if we don't have a
reflection, own it and do something about it then it
continues to get bigger until enough (I hope) becomes
enough. The question that comes to mind is how much is
enough for America? So, the best any of us can do is
keep releasing the reflections until enough is moved
that the out picture is what we want...instead of what
we do not want. So that we get to turn on the news and
be smiling, laughing, feeling compassion and love,
joy, peace and gratitude.
I am in complete agreement with "who is the
enemy...the enemy is me".. and I must know what it is
about myself that I get to move/release so that
"enemy" is no more... knowing and realizing the
reflection is just step one.
Many people would prefer to live behind walls (real
and metaphorically) and never see their reflection..
This way they can pretend to feel safe and loved...and
nothing gets released...and nothing changes.
I am very ignorant of many things...were I totally
aware of all my programs/tapes I suspect I'd be in
major overload...and yet, I want to know what it is
that I can be releasing so that I can be more aware
than I am. All our opportunity is to be alert,
processing everything that is up...to include denial.
I know that 1) ignorance is not bliss, it is slavery,
2) fighting outside of myself for freedom or peace is
like screwing for virginity...it doesn't work. I know
where the battlefield is.. yet I must be willing to
see the reflection...America and the world is our
collective reflection...We Are All One. Knowing our
true history and processing it allows it to be over,
knowing our history and only commenting or writing
about it allows it to repeat itself.
Enough said,
Thanks for the feedback.
In TSL,
Kelley

Take someone who doesn't keep score,
who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,
who has not the slightest interest even
in his own personality:
He's free.
- Rumi
The present condition of human communication is
primitive. We may think that because of the
development of high-tech machinery, fiber-optic
communication networks, and the ability to see and
hear into the far reaches of space that we must be
quite advanced in the field of communication; after
all AT&T guarantees that we can talk to natives in New
Guinea. But all this is just technology that broadens
our boundaries of the universe; it has little effect
on our ability to listen with our heart to another
being or, for that matter, to God/dess. Being able to
clearly hear a voice overseas does not mean we are
really listening to that soul. Hearing only means that
the ear is perceiving sound. Real listening is
conscious.
We are poor listeners most of the time. Even if we are
listening, communication requires a medium of
connection and the ability to make sense of the
information that is being relayed. The language of the
information must be processed (translated) into
understanding. Language must be learned; if it is not,
the result is thought to be a serious block to human
development.
Since interpersonal communication is the flow and
exchange of energy between people, it is not only a
daily part of life but a necessity of life. We don't
live on a deserted island. We need to communicate
every day and, for most of us, it is the activity we
engage in more than any other. Whenever we are with
others, we are drawn into relationship and
communication connects us to that relationship.
The dynamics of communication can be simplified. At
any given moment, communication includes the one who
is giving energy and the one who is receiving that
energy. In his book Between People, Dr. John A.
Sanford uses the analogy of playing catch. One person
holds the ball and announces his intention to throw
the ball to another. He goes through the motions and
propels the ball into the waiting hands of the other.
For the game to succeed, there must be some rules by
which to play i.e.;
. don't throw the ball until I'm ready to catch it;
. don't throw it over my head; and
. don't throw it too hard.
In other words, in this game, let me treat you as I
would like you to treat me. The game may last as long
or as short a time as we both agree. If we can't
agree, one or both of us may feel hurt. Then our
emotional bodies get involved and add more difficulty
to the process.
The object of the "communication" game is not to be
competitive. It is not like tennis, in which we are
trying to hit the ball so it cannot be returned to us,
or like football, where we must stop the person with
the ball from reaching the goal. The purpose of
communication is for both people to benefit: the one
who gives feels fulfilled in the giving, and the one
who receives feels fulfilled in receiving. When both
people can give and receive, the process works
perfectly. Likewise, in our spiritual life we have to
be open to the flow of energy in both directions. We
don't just demand of God/dess; we communicate so that
we can both give and receive. We experience both sides
of the coin in balance, and each side is full.
More practically, if someone is talking to us, we must
not just hear them; we must be ready to listen and
respond. This is a skill we learn. It requires the
ability to be in the present moment and to be open to
what the other wants to share with us. This is not
always easy; many issues can block what seems to be a
simple process. Do I even want to listen? Am I
prepared to listen? Many times we assume the other is
available, willing, and interested. Such assumptions
may be based on false beliefs or empty wishes. Also,
am I physiologically able to listen -- am I fatigued
or clearly attentive? For example, how many school
children are really able to listen to their teacher on
a hot, muggy day after a heavy lunch? Sometimes we
ignore such simple causes for communication failure.
When someone lectures to us with no intention of
listening to our response, after awhile we start
shutting down because the energy is not completing its
cycle. Such lecturing may be based in another person's
agenda without agreement from the receiver, as in
compulsory education. Lecturing that occurs in
interpersonal relationships can often be an avoidance
mechanism that blocks intimate connections, or it can
be a defense mechanism to hide our fears.
Similarly, a person may make an announcement or
declaration that requires no response: "I'm going
home!" or "I have nothing else to say on that matter,
case closed." We can feel cut off and disappointed
with this type of communication. We may want to
relate, but the other has unilaterally decided to shut
down the communication process.
Shutting Down
Because human beings are generally poor communicators,
we have developed behaviors to compensate and protect
ourselves from painful communication. How many times
do we try to get our message across before we finally
give up? It is common to see communication fail. It
happens every day; it becomes habitual. The result is
that we stop listening or we shut down emotionally.
When we stop listening, we disconnect ourselves and
withdraw from relationship or find something else to
occupy our attention. It requires a certain degree of
courage to open ourselves to communication because
when we connect with another person it is not always
pleasant. If we have been hurt often, communication
becomes conditional and guarded, as if we were saying,
"I will only listen to you if you promise not to say
anything that will hurt me." Of course, this doesn't
work because our initial fear about "what might
happen" has already biased our ability to be open and
receptive.
Sometimes a person approaches us as if they were
wearing a baseball catcher's protective equipment --
chest pad, face mask, shin guards, etc. They are so
defensive that we can't quite find the real person
underneath it all to whom we can relate. If the person
is shut down or "absent," how do we connect with them?
How do we connect with someone who is not available,
whose behavior says, "I'm uninterested", "I'm afraid",
or "Leave me alone"?
These few examples of difficult communication behavior
demonstrate the complexity and broad spectrum of human
communication. How do we learn to be successful in our
communication when blockage and failure are the rule?
Taking Risks
We must choose to be conscious and take the risk, even
though we will be hurt from time to time. Our
expectations may be shattered and it won't always be
fun. The human heart breaks, but the irony is that the
heart is resilient and learns and grows stronger. The
heart evolves through experience. We find that we do
survive, that we can handle it, and that from our
expanded spiritual viewpoint, it's all okay. Once we
take this step and choose to be open, to be conscious,
our intention and attitude can be adapted to help our
situation.
Pure Intention
Our intention plays an important role. Ideally, we
make a conscious choice, with clear responsibility, to
pursue relationship without conditions. When we set
our intention to be present and available to someone,
we fulfill our role as the listener, being openly
attentive and receptive. Then we have accomplished our
part of the partnership. Spiritually, we remain clear
and unattached to the outcome.
The Dalai Lama once told me, "With pure intention,
with a pure heart, go forward in action with no
regret." If our intention is clearly to be there for
someone, to be in relationship with an open heart,
then anything can happen, and we can be free of
regret. Karma will play out as it needs to. We don't
need to be attached to the outcome.
The process of communication allows the energy to flow
for the purpose of playing itself out, and we face it
openly and consciously. By our example, we demonstrate
openness. Instead of shutdown, openness can become the
norm. Instead of communication being conditional, it
can be about honesty and trust.
We can communicate our intention to be present,
regardless of the response or action, because we can
handle it. We don't want to be co-dependent -- we
don't need to promise or agree to take responsibility
for the other person's behavior; but we can be
available and we can be responsible for our own
responses and feelings in this interaction.

SHARED BY Soul Soothers
In the Sanskrit language Durgam means Confusion, and
Durga takes away confusion. Chandi is name of the
Goddess who Tears Apart Thoughts. The Chandi Path
relates the battle between the Asuras, the forces of
duality and darkness, and the Devas, or forces of
unity and light. Asuras are the thought forms which
increase the selfishness of an
individual and lead him or her into divisive action.
They are the voices within each person which proclaim
that it is possible to do a little bit less in any
given circumstance. Devas are the forces which inspire
the surrender of selfishness and expand the bonds of
unity into a cohesive expression of divinity.
In the Chandi Path, the Devas unite in prayer to the
divine energy of the universe. In response, the Divine
Mother puts Too Much and Too Little into balance. She
bestows the wisdom which destroys Self-Conceit and
Self-Deprecation as well as other generals in the army
of the Great Ego, such as Anger, Passion, Greed,
Irresistible Temptation, and Arrogance, until,
ultimately, the Great Ego surrenders and becomes a
servant of God. No longer need the Great Ego tolerate
the burdens of life, but may rejoice in the privilege
of demonstrating pure love through every action.
The Chandi Path is rare publication because of its
awareness of the application of scripture to spiritual
seekers today. The story is transformed from a battle
in ancient mythology to one which is ongoing in every
individual everyday. It is a road map from the
confusions of duality into the heart of divine
reality, which is termed as the Divine
Mother.
The book, ISBN 1-877795-00-3, consists of 425 pages,
with a retail price of $15.00. Each mantra is written
in the original Devanagri Sanskrit, a Romanized
transliteration, and an English translation and
commentary. It is available through bookstores around
the country and through book distributors such as Book
People, New Leaf, Baker and Taylor, etc. It may also
be ordered through Devi Mandir directly. It is our
privilege to share with you our attitude of awareness
through this book as well as an invitation to tour our

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten
turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who
had put all the money into the research wanted a
payback so they put their heads together to figure out
what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they
added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use
in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come
out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW the difference between margarine and
butter?
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams
compared to 5 grams.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women
by 53% over eating the same amount of butter,
according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other
nutrients in other foods.
And now, for Margarine..
Very high in trans fatty acids.
Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
Increases! total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad
cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good
cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being
PLASTIC..
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding
margarine for life and anything else that is
hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing
the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself.
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your
garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you
will note a couple of things: no flies, not even those
pesky fruit flies will go near it!
Thank you Lena.
Life is God's gift to you.

The Nutrition Committee of the American Heart
Association has examined decades' worth of studies on
the health benefits of soy, and has found little
evidence that soy-based foods and supplements
significantly lower cholesterol, as has sometimes been
claimed.
Potential Labeling Change
These findings could result in the FDA changing rules
which currently allow companies which produce
soy-based foods to advertise a cholesterol-lowering
benefit on the label.
No Benefits
While a very large amount of soy protein might lower
LDL ("bad") cholesterol by a few percentage points,
there were no observed benefits with regard to HDL
("good") cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein, or
blood pressure. The benefits of soy supplements to
cardiovascular health are therefore likely "minimal at
best".

Dr. Mercola's Comment
Considering the growing number of studies regarding
the harm you can do to your body by eating
non-fermented soy, it's not completely surprising that
the conventional medical establishment may finally be
getting it ...
In addition to the complete lack of benefits with
regard to cholesterol, the AHA review also found that,
contrary to some popular myths:
Soy isoflavones don't prevent various forms of cancer
(prostate, breast or uterine).
Neither soy protein nor soy isoflavones are useful in
limiting menopause-related symptoms.
The jury remains out on any soy-related benefits in
treating osteoporosis.
A telling quote by a noted cardiologist that speaks
volumes about soy's true worth: "If [patients] are
radically altering their diet, where they're only
eating soy in the hopes that this is going to bring
their cholesterol down, they're deluding themselves."
In fact, non-fermented soy products contain a number
of potentially health-disrupting "anti-nutrients",
such as phytic acid. You would be wisest to avoid any
such foods, which include:
- Tofu
- Soy milk
- Soy hot dogs and other "meatless" products made with
soy or textured vegetable protein (TVP), which is
usually soy based
- Soy yogurt and ice cream
- Soy protein
The fermentation process, however, drastically
decreases the levels of the dangerous components of
soy, and also aids in liberating otherwise difficult
to digest nutrients in the soybean, making them more
available for absorption.
Fermented soy products (such as miso, soy sauce,
natto, and tempeh) are therefore safe to eat. However,
don't expect "miracle cures" for your cholesterol even
from safe soy foods and can certainly be part of a
healthy diet.
If you really want to lower your cholesterol levels,
there are two primary strategies that work well over
99 percent of the time if properly implemented.
They are:
- Daily cardiovascular exercise
- Low grain diet
A healthy food plan with little to no grains and
sugars will effectively lower insulin levels, as
elevated insulin levels are one of the primary drivers
for raising cholesterol.
And just as important is exercising regularly. The key
to exercising effectively is to keep in mind three
important variables: length of time, frequency and
intensity. I encourage my patients to gradually
increase the amount of time they are exercising to 60
to 90 minutes a day. Initially the frequency is daily.
This is a treatment dose until you normalize their
weight or insulin levels. Once normalized, you will
only need to exercise three to four times a week.
Also, you should exercise hard enough so that it is
difficult to talk to someone next to you. When you are
exercising that hard your cardiovascular system is
under such a significant amount of stress that the
mere act of talking makes you unable to provide your
body with enough oxygen.
However, if you cannot carry on a conversation AT ALL,
then you have gone too far and need to decrease the
intensity.
Anyone interested in regulating their cholesterol
without drugs can find these methods completely
explained in my book, the Total Health Program. Most
anyone who follows it will find that their cholesterol
levels will reach a healthy level, and numerous other
health complaints will disappear as well.

IONICARE TOOTHBRUSH TESTIMONIAL FROM THE UK
Hi Kelley,
Glad to hear that my money arrived safely. I am also
delighted to tell you that the toothbrushes arrived
yesterday. I was in a rush to leave the house when
they arrived, but being eager to see what they looked
like i opened the bag, glanced at the literature,
reading just enough to see that you had to wet the
head before deciding to give one a quick try. And
what can I say. Amazing! I own a £90 electric
toothbush, but I may as well be cleaning my teeth with
my figure, compared to the effect your marvelous
toothbrush had on my teeth. The last time they felt so
clean was when i had them professional cleaned and
polished! thank you
Regards

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by Young Toni Delgado
When was the last time you went to a nursing home? Do
you have relations or friends in
a residential home for Alzheimer folks? Many of us
know what visiting these places is like. Even in the
most cared for establishments, visiting is a challenge
for us. We dont want to think about putting our
loved ones in such places, but many of us dont want
the responsibility of caring for them either.
What would you want for your self? What would you want
your family to do for you? Will you wind up in one of
these places? Or are you willing to challenge the
pre-conditioned programs and patterns of you
geneology? Are you willing to do something different
to ensure a full life with a clear, alert mind? The
choice is really yours. What do you choose? This is a
decision to be made now and to be acted on daily.
Dont wait til it is too late.
What will we be able to teach our children and our
grandchildren when we learn to conquer old age and the
unconscious death urge? What will be the focus in our
lives when death
the inevitability of death no longer
sucks us dry with fear? What will the earth be like
when our awareness raises us to a new level of
understanding and our bodies respond in kind?
We have been conditioned to believe that senility is a
frightful place because we believe it is the end of
our productivity as a being. We believe it is the
experience that precedes death and we are loathesome
to it. Senility can come to an individual at any time
in their lives. It does not just occur to the elderly.
It can happen in your thirties or younger.
What is important to know is that it absolutely can be
overcome! I have done it! Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray
and others have done it. Leonard says that senility is
the final exam of the human condition. That sounds and
feels right. You must however, have the tools and
psychological preparation to outlast it. Read my book
and learn how.
