Sun Gazing

Published by Jonathan 9 months, 1 week ago in Health & Healing, Sites worth checking out and Writings from other authors. 1 Comment

There is an ancient science known as Sun Gazing that may have rather profound implications for the health of he or she who practices this technique. The Sun is the central figurehead of most religions, including Christianity. I won’t go into that particular point just now except to say that the Son of God is in fact the Sun of God. Key information in the Bible has, to the best of my understanding, been borrowed from much earlier religions and cultures who actively worshiped the Sun. The story of the Christ is also found almost word for word — and most certainly key fact for fact — in these earlier regions and cultures (such as the Egyptians). This story is a personified depiction of the astrological events pertaining to the Sun as moves through the various houses of the horoscope, and related events that play out on the various equinoxes and solstices. That’s enough on that for now.

My point is this: The Sun has long been recognized as the source of our Manna or our life-force and energy here in this world. It has long been recognized as a spiritualizing force in our world. It has long been recognized as something very beneficial to our health and well-being. Sadly, when our relationship to the Sun of God was hijacked by religion and replaced by a relationship to the Son of God, we ceased to spend time receiving Light and Illumination from this readily available source.

Sun Gazing is the method by which such illumination can be readily received. The exact results of this illumination will of course be specific to each individual. It is probable that sungazing is not a suitable practice for some people. Therefore I do not specifically recommend it to any person.

There are many sources of information on this topic. There are various techniques taught and espoused. I recommend checking out the information written by Vinny Pinto on the Raw Paleo Diet site found at www.rawpaleodiet.org/sungazing/

Enjoy the light.

Natural malaria prevention and treatment

Published by Jonathan 1 year, 12 months ago in Health & Healing. 0 Comments

A friend of mine is set to travel through various parts of Asia that travellers are normally advised to take anti-malaria drugs for. She’s not into taking most of the chemical based drugs the world is so addicted to (a wise woman) and so went looking for other options. She heard about Artemisinin. I have taken the following information about this substance from the Wikipedia.

Artemisinin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artemisinin is a drug used to treat multi-drug resistant strains of falciparum malaria. The compound (a sesquiterpene lactone) is isolated from the shrub Artemisia annua long used in traditional Chinese medicine. Not all shrubs of this species contain artemisinin. Apparently it is only produced when the plant is subjected to certain conditions. It can be synthesized from arteminisic acid.[1]

History

Artemisia has been used by Chinese herbalists for more than a thousand years in the treatment of many illnesses, such as skin diseases and malaria. In the 1960s a research program was set up by the Chinese army to find an adequate treatment for malaria. In 1972, in the course of this research, Tu Youyou discovered artemisinin in the leaves of Artemisia annua. The drug is named qinghaosu in Chinese. It was one of many candidates then tested by Chinese scientists from a list of nearly 200 traditional Chinese medicines for treating malaria. It was the only one that was effective.

It remained largely unknown to the rest of the world for about ten years, until results were published in a Chinese medical journal. The report was met with skepticism at first, because the Chinese had made unsubstantiated claims about having found treatments for malaria before. In addition, the chemical structure of artemisinin, particularly the peroxide, appeared to be too unstable to be a viable drug.

For many years, access to the purified drug and the plant it was extracted from were restricted by the Chinese government. However, Artemisia annua is a common shrub and has been found in many parts of the world, including along the Potomac River, in Washington, D.C.

Currently, artemisinin is widely used in China and Southeast Asia for treatment of malaria. It is often used without taking precautions against conditions that might lead to resistance of the malaria parasite to this drug, leading to concern that the effectiveness of artemisinin may be reduced in the near future, as is the case with other classes of antimalarial drugs.

Because artemisinin itself has physical properties such as poor bioavailability that limit its effectiveness, semi-synthetic derivatives of artemisinin, including artemether and artesunate, have been developed. However, their activity is not long lasting, with significant decreases in effectiveness after one to two hours. To counter this drawback, artemisinin is given alongside lumefantrine to treat uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Lumefantrine has a half-life of about 3 to 6 days. Such a treatment is called ACT (artemisinin-based combination therapy); other examples are artemether-lumefantrine, artesunate-mefloquine, artesunate-amodiaquine, and artesunate-sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine. Recent trials have shown that ACT is more than 90% effective, with a recovery of malaria after three days, especially for the chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum.

The World Health Organisation has recommended that a switch to ACT should be made in all countries where the malaria parasite has developed resistance to chloroquine. Artemisinin and its derivatives are now standard components of malaria treatment in China, Vietnam, and some other countries in Asia and Africa, where they have proved to be safe and effective anti-malarial drugs. They have minimal adverse side effects. Currently, artemisinin is not widely available in the United States or Canada, but is easy to find in Africa and Asia. There have been some concerns about the quality of some products on offer in Africa, but sticking to one of the European (often Belgian) manufacturers could overcome this problem.

To counter the present shortage in leaves of Artemisia annua, researchers have been searching for a way to develop artemisinin artificially in the laboratory. A recent paper in Nature presented a geneticly engineered yeast that created a closely related compound which can be efficently converted into Artemisinin. The compound called OZ-277 (also known as RBx11160), developed by Jonathan Vennerstrom at the University of Nebraska, has proved to be even more effective than the natural product in test-tube trials. A six month trial of the drug on human subjects in Thailand was started in January 2005. There are also plans to have the plant grow in other areas of the world (outside Vietnam and China).

Cancer Treatment

Artemisinin is under early research and testing for treatment of cancer. Artemisinin has a peroxide lactone group in its structure. It is thought that when the peroxide comes into contact with high iron concentrations (common in cancerous cells), the molecule becomes unstable and releases reactive oxygen species. It has been shown to reduce angiogenesis and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in some tissue cultures.

Mechanism of action

The specific mechanism of action of artemisinin is not well understood, and there is ongoing research directed at elucidating it. When the parasite that causes malaria infects a red blood cell, it consumes hemoglobin and liberates free heme, an iron-porphyrin complex. The iron reduces the peroxide bond in artemisinin generating high-valent iron-oxo species, resulting in a cascade of reactions that produce reactive oxygen radicals which damage the parasite leading to its death.[2]

Numerous studies have investigated the type of damage that these oxygen radicals may induce. For example, Pandey et al. have observed inhibition of digestive vacuole cysteine protease activity of malarial parasite by artemisinin.[3] These observations were further confirmed by ex vivo experiments showing accumulation of hemoglobin in the parasites treated with artemisinin, suggesting inhibition of hemoglobin degradation. They found artemisinin to be a potent inhibitor of hemeozoin formation activity of malaria parasite.

A 2005 study investigating the mode of action of artemisinin using a yeast model demonstrated that the drug acts on the electron transport chain, generates local reactive oxygen species, and causes the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane. [4]

Resistance is conferred by a single mutation in the calcium channel. This has been observed only under laboratory conditions.[5]

The oxygen radicals have also been shown to inhibit PfATP6, a SERCA-type enzyme and artemisinin has been shown to compete with thapsigargin for SERCA binding, though artemesinin is much less toxic to mammalian cells.

Dental Truth

by Dr. Gerard F. Judd, Ph.D.

We can all stop spending billions for American dental work and research. Let me tell you why: I have learned the real causes of dental cavities and gum infection.

People, including you, will n.o.w be able to take care of their own dentistry with insignificant cost, and end with perfect teeth. Cavities and gum infections are ended!

A great amount of reputable dental research proves the following:

  • Tooth cavities will be end simply by rinsing acids off the teeth.
  • Acids alone eat the enamel.
  • There would be no cavities in the world if all people rinsed acids from their teeth promptly. Just sip water, milk or other liquid while eating. Water reacts with acids.
  • Foods and drinks, other than those containing acids, have no action on tooth enamel.
  • Sugars have no action on the enamel.
  • Bacteria cannot damage the enamel (calcium hydroxy phosphate). There is no such thing as decay of the enamel since bacteria require carbon and hydrogen to live. Billions of human and animal remains show teeth and bones are resistant to earth-bound organisms.
  • Teeth re-enamalize when clean. To make teeth clean one brushes with any bar soap. Soap washes off in just 2 rinses. What about toothpastes? Glycerine in all brands of tooth paste is so sticky that it takes 27 washes to get it off. Teeth brushed with any toothpaste are coated with a film and cannot properly re-enamelize.
  • Taking calcium and phosphate in the diet results in re-enamelization of the teeth, but only when they are clean. Bar soap does a perfect job in cleaning the surface. The enamel thickens and becomes less sensitive. Adenosine diphosphatase furnishes phosphate to teeth. [An enzyme in the body. - LT]
  • Gums are disinfected by brushing with any bar soap.
  • Plaque, a poorly formed crystal stuck to the bottom of the enamel, is prevented and eventually removed by brushing with bar soap. Dental procedures to get the badly formed crystals off dig holes through the enamel. These cavities catch food and cause gum infection. Prevention of plaque retards gum pockets. Gum pockets are formed as the plaque pushes the gums away from the teeth. Gum pockets, from 1 to 8 mm deep, are also formed by fluoride, which severs the protein molecules adhering the gums to the teeth. Soap prevents gingivitis caused by bacteria which is lodged in the gum pockets.
  • Vitamin C and phosphate help knit the gums back to the teeth. Pressing against the gums with fingers forces adhesive materials from the gums onto the teeth, which helps the process.
  • Abscesses can be offset by holding Cepacol (14% alcohol) in the mouth 5 minutes.
  • Receding gum surgery will end when the gum pockets cease. The very mention of the procedure, which involves transferring flesh from the roof of the mouth to the excised area of the gums, is a heinous and useless procedure which ought to pass into oblivion.
  • Removal of fluoride from drinking water, pastes or gels saves the enzyme adenosine diphosphatase so it can deliver phosphate to calcium at the tooth surface, resulting in a beautiful, semi-flexible enamel.
  • As stated above, the gums can be reconnected to the teeth by taking vitamin C (ascorbic acid)(1 tsp) with Arm and Hammer baking soda (1/2 tsp) in 1 inch of water, letting it fizz and then diluting to 1/2 to 1 cup with water, then drinking. The resulting sodium ascorbate is non-acid, very pure and a thousand times more soluble than vitamin C. Sodium ascorbate is more active than ascorbic acid (C) in building connective tissue and antibody structures and more effective in killing some viruses and bacteria.
  • Receding gums and plaque are ended when soap is used for brushing and vitamin C is taken daily.
  • 30% of American youths ages 8-10 have no cavities.
  • 100% of Ugandan youths ages 6-10 have no cavities. What does this tell us? The reason Ugandan youths have 3 times better teeth than American youths is because they do not consume as many acid foods have no fluoride in their drinking water, have regular meals rather than sipping acid drinks all day, have more calcium and phosphate in their diet, and have fewer dentists to ”work on” their teeth.
  • Dental literature says 42% of Americans over 65 have no natural teeth while 25% of those over 43 have none.
  • Dental literature says Americans age 43 average 32 cavities, those age 7 have 13 cavities, blacks and poverty stricken (without calcium and phosphate) have twice this and the Native Americans have four times this amount. The Native American plight can be blamed on their poor nutrition, excessive fluoridation and fr/ee but improper dental care. If fluoridation were effective in preventing cavities, Native Americans would have the least cavities of any group. they have had forced fluoridation for approximately 62 years.
  • Spokesmen for national groups are beginning to notice an alarming rise in cavities among children and teens. Same dentists recommend dental sealants, especially for older teens not previously considered candidates for the treatment. But if sealants are n.o.w ordered, aren’t dentists admitting no confidence in the ability of fluoride to prevent cavities?
  • Fluoride in water at one part per million increased tooth cavities in four large reliable studies 7.22.45 and 10% (average 21 %). The reason far these increases has to do with the fact that adenosine diphosphatase is destroyed by fluoride and calcium fluoride which slips into the enamel, is alien to the tooth composite and makes the enamel weak, brittle and discolored.
  • The health of american teeth will increase to be very nearly perfect if the regimen of water rinsing, soap brushing and taking calcium, phosphate and vitamin c in the diet is implemented. Fortunately, we n.o.w know the current teeth perfecting protocol of dentistry with fluoridation is flawed. If the early estimates of 80% tooth improvement in childrens’ teeth by age 13 were true, each American would n.o.w have less than one cavity. That is far from true.
  • The teeth in America are in a sorry state, and at the present time are getting worse. Numerous top scientists over the past 60 years have discarded the theory that fluoride helps teeth, or is a nutrient helpful to man. To avoid fluoride is to prevent more than 114 ailments listed with references in my book Good Teeth Birth to Death. These 114 medical side effects extend all the way from cancer down to headaches caused by 1 ppm (part per million) fluoride in the water. Thirteen of these side effects are proved by a double blind study on 60 patients by 12 physicians, 1 pharmacist and 1 attorney. The mechanism for destruction of enzymes by fluoride has been proven by x-ray studies. Hydrogen bonds are broken by fluoride.
  • Fluoride is the smallest negative particle on the face of the earth.
  • Since the fluoride particles are so small and so intensely negative, they connect with the hydrogen bonds holding the enzyme coils in place and ruin every enzyme molecule at very low concentration, around 1-3 ppm. These enzymes are often 3,000 or more times the small size of the fluoride. The effect is ruinous. To avoid fluoride is to prevent the destruction of 83 enzymes.
  • Fluoride is a severe biological poison. Being intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in enzymes and proteins. It is fortunate we have learned fluoride is a nerve poison. Fluoride causes cavities. There is not the slightest doubt.
  • Methylmercury formed from amalgams in the body is deadly. It causes brain disease.
  • Fillings made of quartzite and epoxy are a safe substitute.
  • Fluoride harms the economy by making people purchase other than city water to avoid it.
  • Fluoride also harms the economy by making people dependent on undependable professions that know nothing about it.
  • Ignorance about fluoride and what it does is worldwide.
  • Keep the teeth moist. Teeth that are dry ”craze” (crack). If you chew ice, teeth may crumble. Teeth do have a breaking strength.
  • Look in your mouth.
  • Tell the dentist(s) what you want done and get several bids for examination and work. Save your fortunes.
  • We n.o.w know we can cancel the green light given by Harry Truman with the help of Congress to subsidize dentists. Billions of dollars are being wasted in this regard (Public Law 755, June 24,1948) that can n.o.w be returned to the taxpayers. I hope you will put this information in the hands of your Congress persons so they and we may alert the newspapers, radio and TV stations, magazines, and all other news media as well as their friends, families, and associates about this giant leap in dental technology.

I ask for your feedback on this letter and I would also like you to ask for feedback from the ones you contact. This is very important! Please mail a copy of this letter to your Congressperson, asking what they are going to do about this terrible incompetence and waste in dentistry and government spending.

Bird Flu Perspectives

Published by Jonathan 2 years ago in Health & Healing, State of the world and Writings from other authors. 1 Comment

There’s a lot of talk in New Zealand (and I guess in many other countries) about the so-called Bird Flu epidemic that the world is on the brink of experiencing. I understand that here in New Zealand the Government has stock-pilled enough Tamiflu for 20% of our population. Considering what I have read about Tamiflu I deem this to be a complete waste and mismanagement of tax payers’ money.

Here’s a look at what my dear friend Lono Ho’ala wrote to an email list of his I am subscribed to.

Dear Family and Friends,

As we are all aware, today’s top story is about the so-called called Bird Flu.

Because of the vast amount of attention this subject is getting, I’ve researched this subject carefully and thought you might like to know what I’ve found out.

The bird flu virus is referred to as H5N1, but that is a complete misnomer. H5N1 is only the designation for the outer covering type or virus envelope coating.  The interior core, inside the envelope, is made of strings of DNA or RNA. This iis what determines if a virus is Bird Flu, or Swine Flu, or SARS or whatever, not the coating type.

The claim that, so far, 61 people have died of Bird Flu is completely false.  Investigators have only tested and identified the H5N1 viral coating, and did not confirm what specific viral core DNA was inside the virus, in those patients who have died.

The highly publicized claim that about 50 percent of the people who contracted the Bird Flu have died from it, is also completely bogus.
The claim that the H5N1 Bird Flu is highly dangerous, and 50 percent fatal, is not backed by the medical data.  In many cases, the symptoms described prior to death were clearly something other than influenza.
So it is not clear if the patients even had Bird Flu.  The only thing confirmed was that the coating around the virus was the H5N1 type, which is rather common for many different kinds of viruses.

By only testing for the H5N1 outer covering or viral envelope, it has never been confirmed what the interior core viral DNA or RNA happened to be.  There are literally thousands of different DNA cores which can exist within the same H5N1-type viral envelope.  By not explaining this to a gullible public, the various government agencies, such as the CDC, WHO and Departments of Health are manipulating people through ungrounded fear.

The CDC has been guilty of this for years, by making the outrageous claim that each year in the U.S. 36,000 victims die of influenza.  This is also completely false.  Only about 200 people or less are documented by autopsy each year to have died of influenza.  All the others in that group of 36,000 died of viral pneumonia, caused by improperly treating flu by lowering the fever, and allowing the virus in the lungs to grow unimpeded to the point it killed the patient.  It would seem that the huge number, 36 thousand, is only used to scare the public into getting their flu shots, which at best are only about 20 to 50 percent effective in the first place.  That is not a very good record.

But this annual flu-hype is nothing compared to this year’s horrendous hype about the so-called Bird Flu vaccine or anti-viral called, Tamiflu.  Currently, there is a shortage of Tamiflu, driving up the price to astronomical heights.  On Tuesday, October 25, Canada actually stopped the sales of Tamiflu because of the rapidly rising prices.  By limiting Tamiflu sales, the market for “underground” or blackmarket Tamiflu will drive prices even higher.  Many nations around the world are right now even planning on stockpiling many millions of doses of Tamiflu to prevent a possible “pandemic” — with the potential profit to the Tamiflu maker, Roche, running into the hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars, and that is just for the 2005 flu season.  And all of this is complete and pure hype.

The commercial preparation called Tamiflu is not a medication, but is simply a concoction derived from an extract of the Asian herb, Star Anise, or licorice flavoring. Actual tests show it is no more effective than vitamin C, ginseng tea or aspirin at reducing flu effects. Tamiflu is NOT an anti-viral nor a vaccine.  It cannot prevent Bird Flu.  It is simply an herbal extract preparation similar in effect to aspirin.  The big difference is that Tamiflu is a patented high-priced doctor-prescribed flu symptom reliever.  While Aspirin is a cheap generic over-the-counter flu symptom reliever.  But don’t use either one if you have a flu infection.

I have reviewed the clinical testing and the lab analysis of the effects of Tamiflu.  It has no ability to kill or prevent infections by influenza viruses.  Tamiflu simply reduces the flu symptoms of fever, aches and coughing, sometimes to the point that the flu patient doesn’t even know that he has a cold or flu.  But that is dangerous.  Since lowering a fever while infected with flu virus in the lungs can be fatal.  Both Aspirin and Tamiflu are herbal preparations which simply treat the symptoms of flu.  Neither of them are anti-viral medications.
This means the probability of Internet hoaxers making cheap copies of Tamiflu using common aspirin and other herbs, will result in multi-Billion dollar illegal scams running around the Internet this 2005 flu season.

Internet counterfeiters can easily make a cheap look-alike copy pill by mixing aspirin, ginseng tea and vitamin C and putting it into a capsule and packaging it to look like Tamiflu. A doctor-prescribed Tamiflu dose of 10 tablets can cost you about $150 or more. The counterfeiters can make a 10 tablet dose and sell it to you for half price or $75. But the ingredients only cost them about $1.00. Thus, the illegal Billion dollar profit motive is extremely high for committing Internet fraud.

Neither Tamiflu nor the fake drug actually work to prevent Avian Bird Flu.  Ignore all the Hype.  Don’t buy either one.  You don’t need them.

Most experts in the field will tell you that the best medicine for any viral infection is to support your body’s own immune system. It is a finely tuned defense system that when healthy, can destroy ANY KNOWN virus effectively. Proof that this is true is the fact that you are reading this. If there were any virus able to consistently outgun your immune system - neither you nor anyone else would be here to care!

Many viruses can inhabit the upper respiratory tract. About half of the infections known as the “common cold” are due to rhino viruses that enter the mucous membranes of the eye, nose or lung. Influenza viruses are similar, and are commonly spread through the air. Flu viruses can only survive about 10 minutes on the skin but up to 3 days on hard surfaces so it can be spread indirectly by countertops, floors, bathroom faucets, etc.

Resistance to these viruses (immune system strength) is greatly reduced by adrenal and glandular fatigue caused by stress, excessive caffeine, alcohol, and sugar consumption, tobacco use, exposure to environmental chemicals and chronic allergies.

On the other hand, a variety of nutrients including certain vitamins and minerals, amino acids, and several botanical preparations have proven exceptionally useful in supporting a healthy immune system. If you are a person who has a tendency to contract upper viral infections, and/or have been under stress, and/or consume tobacco, alcohol and refined sugar and carbohydrates, these are very useful.

The best combination of these I’ve found are in two Biotics products called UltraVir-X® and Immuno-gG®. These products contain a synergistic compound of herbs, amino-acids, vitamins and minerals, that are clinically proven to have a potent effect on supporting the immune system to stop viral replication. These products are available through Conscious Living Systems, Inc. at the following prices:

Immuno-gG
This product is made from bovine colostrum, which is rich in immunoglobins and other immune-supporting factors. It is fortified with lysine and arginine to strengthen cell walls against invasion from viruses and other pathogenic microorganisms. It also tends to lessen food sensitivities and support digestive function.
Dose: 1 -2 capsules 3 times per day
Price: 100 capsules are $25.00

UltraVir-X
This product was designed to augment Immuno-gG and Bio-Immunozyme Forte. It is specific for Cytomego virus, Epstein-Barr, Heptatitis A, B, C, and liver viruses. It may increase fever response as it stimulates the body to fight back.
Dose: Start with 1 capsule per day. Add in 1 capsule ever 2 - 4 days and back off a little if fever gets over 102°. Work up to two (2) 2 x a day.
Price: 90 capsules are $24.00

As with all our products, members of the Ho’ala Huna Foundation are entitled to a 20% discount off these prices.

You can stop all viral flu infections at no cost to you, simply by inducing or causing a fever, which is your immune system response to stop the virus from spreading. Both RNA and DNA flu viruses cannot reproduce themselves at a temperature above 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why do you think mammals get fevers?  It’s a survival mechanism.  And how do you induce a fever?  Simple.  “Go to bed, wrap up and stay warm, take UltraVir-X and drink plenty of fluids.”

Most importantly, DON’T TAKE ASPIRIN, TYLENOL, IBUPROFIN, OR ANY OTHER FEVER REDUCING MEDICATION. These will cause any virus including “bird-flu” or any other flu to replicate wildly before your immune system can mount an effective response. This is why the vast majority of people die from any form of influenza infections.

Drug firms ‘hype up diseases to boost sales’

Drug firms ‘hype up diseases to boost sales’ 

By RICHARD SHEARS, Daily Mail 08:35am 11th April 2006

Drug companies are inventing diseases to sell more of their products, it has been claimed. Scientists have accused major pharmaceutical firms of “medicalising” problems like high cholesterol or the symptoms of the menopause in a bid to increase profits.

Experts from around the world will meet in Australia today to discuss what they have labelled “disease-mongering”.

The group, which includes experts from Britain, will gather in Newcastle, New South Wales, where researchers have been examining the issue. David Henry and Ray Moynihan, of Newcastle University, claim the industry is exaggerating conditions and turning them into something more serious.

Female sexual dysfunction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and “restless legs” syndrome have all been promoted by the pharmaceutical industry in the hope of selling more drugs, they say.

High cholesterol and osteoporosis-are being described as diseases in their own right, the researchers claim, turning healthy people into patients. In turn, this wastes precious resources and can cause medically-induced harm.

Drugs prescribed for ’shyness’

Even shyness is routinely presented as a “social anxiety disorder” resulting in the person being prescribed anti-depressants.

In the case of male sexual disfunction, the researchers say, Viagra is promoted as not only a genuine treatment for erectile dysfunction but also a lifestyle improver. The two men make their claims in the Public Library of Science Medicine journal.

They accuse drug companies of funding disease-awareness campaigns through the media that are more about selling drugs than helping or educating the public.

“Like the marketing strategies that drive it, disease-mongering poses a global challenge to those interested in public health, demanding in turn a global response,” they say.

Mr Moynihan and Mr Henry say that, in their view, disease mongering is the selling of sickness that widens the boundaries of illness and grows markets for those who sell and deliver treatments.

“It is exemplified most explicitly by many pharmaceutical industryfunded disease-awareness campaigns, more often designed to sell drugs than to illuminate or to inform or educate about the prevention of illness or the maintenance of health,” they add. Conference organisers say they will try to draw a line between “market-driven exercises and legitimate disease-awareness programmes”. ‘Miracle solutions’

Drugs companies hit back last night. GlaxoSmithKline said: “We pride ourselves in providing miracle solutions to the health care needs of people every day.

“We utterly refute any suggestion that we would in any way hype or overplay the very real needs of patients that are treated all over the world.

“One of the exciting things about medical science is that we are finding new solutions to ailments or problems people have, and this is something good we can offer.” Pfizer, which makes Viagra, said: “We would refute accusations that the pharmaceutical industry is medicalising society. Treatments that can make serious and potentially life-threatening conditions better should surely be welcomed.

“Pfizer would only promote prescription medicines to health care professionals, and only in line with what licensing bodies have outlined, for them to use their clinical judgment.”

The Health Factor — your choice

Published by Jonathan 3 years ago in Health & Healing. 0 Comments

The apparent good health or ill health that anyone with their eyes open is able to witness in most of the modernised world today is the result of choice and free will.

I get the distinct impression—and you are welcome to correct me if you think me wrong—that the majority of people within the cultural society I live within have little or no idea that their day-to-day choices are bringing about much—if not all—of the ill health and degeneration that appears to be the result of aging. I get the impression that the majority of people consciously or subconsciously believe that the sicknesses they experience are something they simply fall victim to as a matter of course. It’s just a “fact of life” that so many people now mindlessly use and rely on drugs for their health—often starting from early childhood, even from birth in the case of the toxic vaccines most babies are blasted with in the first days and months of their life.

Are we so bloody stupid? So mindless? So fool hardy as to not realise what is going on?

No. Not really.

Just deeply ignorant and sound asleep.

It seems the humanity I am familiar with has got it all back-to-front. So many people so readily question themselves and that which arises from their interiority—often questioning (and doubting) it to the point where their inner know and guidance dies completely—and yet these same people so naturally assume that the things arising in their exteriority (the world at large) are “True”, “factual” and legitimate with little or any questioning.

Really—for anyone on the Path of Power—this insane habit must be diligently reversed. It is far more conducive to ones empowerment to assume that what comes from deep within is accurate and “real” for you, and to assume NOTHING about what is arising in your outer world—nothing except perhaps the assumption that whatever presents itself must be questioned rather than taken at face value. What do I mean by this?

  • “Nearly everyone uses cell phones or is happy to” — therefore they must be okay for me and have no significantly detrimental effect on the user.
  • “Millions of people all over the world drink chlorinated and fluoridated tap water. We’ve been doing it for years” — therefore it must be okay and will cause me no significant harm.
  • “Microwave oceans are commonplace since the 1980’s when they hit the American market. Most people use them” — They must be perfectly okay and the food cooked in them must be just a hot version of the cold food that went in their.
  • “Most people appear to get sick once or more times a year” — This is perfectly normal, the way life is, and quite natural for me too
  • “The world around me, as seen through my five senses, seems so solid and tangible. Most people see it as the basis of what is real” — Therefore I must be looking at the true nature of the world
  • “Electromagnetic fields are everywhere these days. The governments and related organisations say they’re okay” — They must be okay
  • “Most children watch Television and kid’s videos these days, and it’s the best way I know of keeping them quiet for a few hours at a time” — It must be of no harm or significance to them
  • “Nearly every item of food in the supermarket is made from chemically grown, refined, processed, chemically stabilised, chemically preserved (etc) ingredients. Most people seem to eat it, except for the health freaks” — There’s nothing harmful about such food, it’s the best thing for me to eat so long as I don’t eat just the real junky stuff all the time.
  • “Mass vaccination programs are advertised every year on the TV and media. Most people seem to get them and they’re all okay” — It must be quite okay for me to

… and the list goes on. We could create a list here that would fill an entire encyclopaedia set or more. Why is that?

Well, because of what I just mentioned: The ego has got us all operating in an in-side-out way. We go about things all back-to-front. We habitually question and doubt that the messages and promptings we get from spirit inwardly are valid, and eventually assume they’re invalid—so habitually that most people beyond early childhood don’t even know they get such messages every moment of the day and night—and we mindlessly accept 99% of what is presented to us by the external world as “real” and “okay”. The few things that I do perhaps stop to question, like “whether my country should be bombing another country in the Middle East because my President says they have some sort of link to a recent terrorist attack is right or wrong”, keep most us feeling like we’ve really got our finger on the pulse and “doing my bit to keep reality in check”. Yet even in this example… I’ve assumed there was a terrorist attack, I’ve assumed my country was an “innocent victim” in this, I’ve assumed that my government played no part in this so-called attack, I’ve assumed that what I’ve seen on TV and in the media about it is factual and accurate, I’ve assumed that my beloved Government is acting in the best interests of the people it is meant to be serving; I’ve assumed it even is serving those people; I’ve assumed that the bombing these innocent people in Iraq is fair and just retribution for what some unnamed, unidentified, unconfirmed “terrorist” did to my country”… yuk. Here’s another one of those lists that could go on forever.

Yet millions upon millions of people in America readily made all these assumptions without giving the real issue at hand one moment of their sleepy attention. The result is massive destruction of live. The result is vast amounts of the nation’s hard earned money (stolen by the government in the form of taxes) being spent on destruction rather than more important things like health and internal social restructuring. The result is more mass hypnosis and millions of people blinding walking toward yet another proverbial cliff top. Lemmings, by the way (based on what I’ve read about them), do not mindlessly jump of cliffs as a form of population control. They’re not that stupid. It’s an contemporary myth. Humans, however, quite readily follow each other over proverbial cliffs. We’ve projected this insanity onto some innocent creature that was just happily going about it’s business in the world.

I must ask you to understand that there is nothing “wrong” with this back-to-front way of living. So long as you, or I, or anyone is choosing to exist this way then it is a valid part of the grand dance of life. Nor is it “right” and “better” to cease this madness and start living another way. It’s not about right or wrong, and if you’ve already started feeling like it is then I invite and encourage you take a good look at how the ego has just thrown you into separation and some kind of guilt trip. Rather it is about “I make a choice. What is the outcome of that choice conducive toward?”

It’s as simply as that.
I suspect you will find that the majority of the people in this world are—for the most part and in ways that are most significant—consistently and almost constantly making choices that have life-taking, power-reducing, life-destroying consequences. The global and collective effect of this is what? An hour or two of unbiased, open minded research in the library or on the internet will quickly show you that. We have, essentially, destroyed perhaps more than half of the life on this planet. Oh, I know it doesn’t look that way—”you and I are quite okay, right?”—but start looking at the figures and statistics. In the last couple of thousands years (particularly the last couple of hundred) how much of the planet’s surface have we cleared of its natural flora and fauna? What percentage of species of animal and creature have we wiped out or nearly wiped out? What percentage of the world’s commercially valued fish has we whipped out? What percentage of the ocean have we explored and studied (about 3%) and yet how much of that ocean now contains our poisons, hormones, drugs, and chemicals, and what effect has that had on life in the ocean? How much of the human cultural heritage in the world have we (primarily Anglo Saxon white man) systematically destroyed and wiped off the face of the Earth? How many days have we had in the last few thousands years where NO wars were being fought anywhere in the world (close to zero)? Here I go with another one of these lists !! I am sure you are starting to get the idea, so I shall say no more.

The picture I’ve just painted might sound rather grim.

It is.

From a relative human perspective, based on what we as humans claim to value and stand for, it’s about as grim as it could get. I’m just telling it like it is. If that seems ghastly then perhaps it’s time to ask yourself why you’d not already noticed just how grim it is?

Knowing how prone the ego is to putting things into a right-wrong sort of perspective, I shall again remind you that this is not about that madness. It is simply about choice and consequence. I’m aware that I’ve unknowingly chosen to diverge off the topic of “The Health Factor” somewhat. The consequence is neither “good” nor “bad”. It is simply that I’ve just spent quite a bit of your time and mine time exploring elements of the collective human story at a planetary level, and ceased talking about health. I now choose to get back to the topic at hand.

As mentioned already, most of the ill health and disease that you see in the world around you is the result of choice. Day-to-day, here in the world, normal kind of human choice. If we were to get metaphysical with this I could accurately say that ALL of it is the result of choice on some level, but for now I am simply referring to basic human choices here in the basic physical world.

The ego might be quite offended by what I’ve just suggested. It might try to coerce you into relating to this in a back-to-front way again. If we put that predictable reaction aside, however, I find—and you might also find—the the real implications of what I’ve stated here are in fact extraordinary and potentially really empowering. If the ill health I experience is the consequence of my day-to-day choices then that means I’m no longer a poor victim. That means that there is something very real and very tangible that I can personally do which will change my circumstances into something I consider to be “better”—into something that is more conducive to me living a strong, inspired, dynamic, and power-filled life. “Fan-bloody-tastic mate, that makes my day”

It is not my intention with this article to start spelling out just what these habitual choices and assumptions are, and what to change them to. That, my friend, is you job. Elsewhere, however, I’m sure to explore this with you.

With love… and my regards for your perfect health,

Common stories regarding health and healing

Published by Jonathan 3 years ago in Health & Healing. 0 Comments

In my observation there a number of assumptions many people make with regards to health and healing.
I shall explore these a little in here and now.
I shall list these assumptions in no particular order and take a deeper look at each one:

  1. The assumption that health—specifically the absence of dis-ease and the presence of wholeness within the body, mind, and spirit—and healing are the same thing. The healing will result in perfect health.

    2. What I would like to point out is that healing is not necessarily about “the absence of disease or illness”. Healing may result in the elimination of disease and illness but the two are not mutually inclusive. Therefore healing may—and I stress the word “may”—lead to a state of great physical health, yet it also may not. I can not presumeto ever truly know just what a person has going on at the level of soul. Even to really know what they have going on at the level of mind is extremely challenging if not impossible.I will add, that in my experience, in most situations a person that heals themselves will tend to live a life that is free of the many degenerative diseases that plague the world today.

    I am bringing attention to this point simply because I detect in many people who are aware of the holistic nature of disease that once they “heal” themselves disease becomes impossible. Yet what if passing through the complex emotional experience of facing a life-threatening disease such as terminal cancer was in fact partof the journey a soul had set itself up for in order to heal various issues at a deeper level. What if the intelligence of the Soul has determined that part of that experience must involve the death of the physical body in order for it to be complete—in order for the deeper “healing” to eclipseand nullify some deep issue that would otherwise continue to plague this Being? It is human arrogance to assume that we know—based on how sense of what is fair and what is actual and what is not—what the infiniteintelligence of Life has in store for us in order to bring about perfection and harmony.

    I suspect it is our cultural attachment to the human physical body as the centre of our identity that perhaps sways our many of us to thinking that if my body is manifesting a “disease” then there is something fundamentally wrong and healing is not taking place. The Soul is, after all, using this physical form as a means to have an experience. The totality of a person’s overall human experience may include experiencing a terminal illness.

    I am sure this point will leave some people feeling a little at a loss in regards to how to now relate to disease. If I have a disease do I try to get rid of it? If I am dying of cancer do I fight to survive? Yet these questions all relate to disease as enemy.

    What I suggest is that disease, like every other experience we have in this apparently tangible world, is a carrier of intelligence. Everything that arises in a person’s experiential reality is a carrier for intelligence. A carrier for Life. A medium through which consciousness is unfolding. A phenomena through which awareness is expanding. Coming from this perspective I am sure most of us would have a wholly (holy) different relationship to disease.

    So how then can a person relate to a disease and the notion of curing it when approaching the matter from this perspective?

    Well, I feel it can be approached in the same way that all life-experience can be approached.
    First and foremost the person in question should remain open to the fact that he does not know what is going on.
    That he does not know who and what he is in truth.
    That he is out of touch with Reality through attachment to the disillusioned reality of the ego.
    Since he “does not see things as they truly are”,
    He can drop his assumptions about what things are
    And the meaning of that which he is experiencing.
    From this place of open receptivity,
    He can then approach his apparent disease as a carrier of intelligence.
    One way of relating to this intelligence is that it contains a message.
    It contains information.
    The purpose of that information, from the Soul’s perspective,
    Is to bring Light into the darkness maintained by the illusion of the ego-mind.
    This is equivalent to “waking up”. It is equivalent to en-light-enment.

    Therefore this apparent disease is as much a gift as everything else this person experiences.
    However, seen through the eyes of the ego it is an attack upon itself.
    This is where openness and receptivity to “I do not see reality as it really is”,
    Becomes crucial. Only then is the ego-mind released to some degree.

    This apparent disease is happening for the person,
    And not to him.
    What’s more, it is ultimately created by Him.
    For the purpose of drawing his attention to the ways in which
    He has forgotten His true nature,
    His true inheritance as an extension of God,
    And his Real purpose as a Divine Being.

    The key then is to remain actively open and aware,
    Ready to shed light upon his misperception of what Is,
    Ready to see how judgement limits his experience of Self,
    Ready to see where and how he habitually makes life-taking choices.
    Paramount to all of this,
    Is his willingness to discover what it is he is being asked (by his Self)
    To forgive within himself and within the world.
    For in truth these are one and the same,
    And hence each requires the same forgiveness,
    And to forgive one is to forgive the other,
    Even though they may temporarily appear to happen separately.

  2. That disease is a negative and bad thing that must be fixed

    3. This myth has a very close relationship to what we’ve just looked at in the above mentioned myth.
    The human ego maintains the illusion that there are many experiences in this world that are undesirable, bad, and wrong. This sets us up to be in opposition to the world. This oppositionis a projection of the separation that the ego is maintaining within the human mind.

    What we are faced with here is the illusion of “disease as enemy”. That disease is somehow launching an attack on That which I Am and therefore it is a negative thing.
    The truth of the matter is that disease is really no different from the many other challenges a person might face in their life. These challenges are just that. Challenging experiences. A challenge, when faced with open awareness, is a means to extend my perception of who and what I am. When faced with a closed mind and the many collective assumptions that I have inherited from my culture, then a challenge suddenly becomes a problem and even a menace.

    If I am perceiving apparent disease or illness as “wrong”, “negative” or “bad” then I am judging it. This judgement is a projection of judgement that I hold toward myself. This self judgement holds me in separationfrom myself and my judgement of a disease or illness holds me in separation from that Infinite Intelligence that is expressing itself through this experience I have labelled “dis-ease” or as “cancer”, “obesity”, “asthma”, or whatever the case may be.

    So long as I judge something then I hold it in a place of separation from That which I Am. So long as I am holding something in this illusion of separationthen I can never become aware of it. My awareness and this experience or “thing” will always remain apart. So long as I am not able to penetrate my awareness into the core of something such as an illness then I will not move through it and pluck the fruits of wisdom that it has to offer me. Awareness is like the bright warmth of the sun shining. That warmth and light must come into direct contact with a tree in order for it’s fruit to spring forth, grow and ripen. Only then can I pick these fruit and enjoy their sweetness. If they do not get enough of this light and warmth then they remain sour and hence are an unpleasant experience if I try to eat them. Therefore I remain in separationfrom these “fruit” because I have an aversion to that which I experience as unpleasant.

    All disease and illness is a call to greater Awareness. All disease and illness is a vehicle of consciousness unfolding, of awareness expanding. Yet a the experience that we labelas disease or illness, and then further label as a terrible case of cancer, or AIDS, or coronary heart disease, can be nothing but a sour experience if my innate awareness can’t touch and penetrate it. Judgement is like a heavy, thick, black cloud floating in the sky of my mind between the Sun and the earth. The Sun is That which I Am and the Earth is my worldly human experience.

    I am not suggesting the people should neurotically start decreeing that “this illness is good, this illness is good, this illness is not bad” when faced with the experienceof a dis-ease. Rather, I suggest that all judgement—as “good” or “bad”—be suspended entirely. Only then will the mind be lucid enough to allow through the awareness that is ready and waiting to touch and enter this experience and ripen the fruits of wisdom it is ready and waiting to bring forth.

  3. That the experience of disease or illness is indicative that you have done something wrong or bad

    4. Disease, approached in this way, is certain to set a person up for disappointment and the sense that life is unfair. I have also seen this cause the rejection of the notion that at some level a person is co-creating their state of dis-ease. The very suggestion of this elicits a reaction of horror—”How could you possibly say that Beth is reasonable for the cancer that is killing her? She is such a bright, caring, and lovely person. What a preposterous suggestion”.

    Yet here a number of assumptions have been made.
    The one that stands out most to me is that assumption that Beth is “caring and lovely” relative to those people that are not so caring and lovely. Yet,of course, if Beth is a dear friend of mine I am hardly going to perceive her as bad and malicious. Why on earth would I hand out with someone who I judge in that way? Yet those people that I do judge as being something less than kind and lovely also havefriends, and I am sure their friends also judge them as being nice people. The lie playing out here—through unchallenged assumptions—is that one person is nice and another person is not, and why would this nice person have anything to do with this cancer that is apparently killing her?

    I’d like to suggest we take a step back for a moment, in order to get some clear perspective on this.
    Beth, like every other being on this planet, is a Divine Being.
    She is neither “good” nor “bad”.
    She is neither “nice” nor horrible.
    Likewise, everyone else I perceive to be in the world is also a perfect, loving, Divine Being.
    Whether I personally judge someone to be a good person or not really has nothing to do with them. It is my judgement — the ego’s judgement of myself and projected out onto the world — and it is arrogant to assume that somehow MY judgement of this person is the determining factor in terms of qualifying what sort of person this is. The fact of the matter is that they are not a “person” at all.

  4. That a person must gain a logical explanation for their disease—in terms of “why this has happened to me”—in order to heal

    5. Logic is of the thinking mind. Reason is of the thinking mind.
    Being is of the non-thinking mind.
    The message that you bring to yourself through dis-ease may or may not be a message that you have ever cognised, and thus you will not re-cognise it either.
    You can, however, become aware of its message—at a feeling intuitive level—without getting into re-cognition of “why this has happened to me”.
    In my experience, most of the time reason does come. Often I find that the symbology that plays out through my body and its state of health is incredibly descriptive in its message. Yet there are other times when I don’t know why. Not mentally knowing why is not a hindranceto receiving the message and moving into greater health and wholeness.

This is a topic I started writing about some time last year. It’s not yet complete if I compare it to what I first envisioned, but this will do for now.

I wish you all the best of health,
