The Sun
Nature's
Vitamin D |
Vitamin D, the nutrient now dubbed "the sunshine vitamin," is gaining recognition among scientists for its major health benefits. Natural Vitamin D from safe sunshine exposure works just like a drug to treat all sorts of conditions. However, very restricted exposure to sunlight may be beneficial, but extensive, unprotected sun exposure can cause cancer and damage the skin. Vitamin
D is unique in that it's the only vitamin that humans make on
their own-after exposure to ultraviolet B light from the sun.
It takes a fair-skinned person only 15 minutes or less to generate
10,000 to 20,000 IU of vitamin D on a sunny day. Interestingly,
Vitamin D is different from other vitamins in that it influences
the entire body-receptors that respond to the vitamin have been
found in almost every type of human cell, from the brain to the
bones. |

All of vitamin D's health effects are not yet known, but it's clear that the vitamin is a "blockbuster" nutrient capable of: • Strengthening
bones and the immune system TIP! When I feel under the weather or feel weary after a long day I sit in the late sun for about 15 minutes. I focus the healing solar rays on my chest imagining it burning away any excess or filling any depletion into my heart area with vibrant ecstatic energy. I also find this visualization helpful in guiding the heat ray to reduce pain or dis-ease in my the body. For instance, for relieving chest colds I sit with the suns ray at my chest or with lung congestion I sit with the suns ray at my back. |

Chili Mania
|
AHHH!
The spicy relief of a hot chili or cayenne pepper opening a congested
sinus cavity from allergies or a cold. Breathe! This little hot
tamale or chili pepper through its active ingredient Capsaicin,
which provides the spice and heat, is useful in the prevention
of sinusitis, the formation of dangerous blood clots, and pain
relief through its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties;
it soothes intestinal diseases; controls chronic skin pains associated
with herpes zoster, also known as shingles, as well as neuralgia
and postoperative amputation trauma; it inhibits the growth of
cancer cells; protects the heart; helps to burn fat and lose weight;
and even aides in the ascension process through digestion (a burning
away of physio-psycho-spiritual debris). No kidding!
Alchemically, the active ingredient capsaicin is an element of
fire that causes the body to sweat from the internal heat in the
stomach and intestinal tract. So, on a physical level chili’s
not only assist in digesting whatever food has been eaten, but
they also have the capacity to accelerate the digestion of emotions
and assist the processing of patterns and personal karma through
the alchemical process of fire. Since our whole being is in constant
evolution and we digest (fire in the belly) what we eat, we also
obtain nutrients necessary for our next phase of biological ascension
by releasing the karma underlying the ailment or disease that
we are ascending beyond. Eat food with chili and your kundalini
will begin to run high… |

Smudging Frankincense Resin is primarily a fire element resin, although it is often used for four-element general purposes. In numerous religious traditions, frankincense's spiritual scent was believed to confer divine blessing. When burned the resin produces a rich, dense smoke whose high spiritual vibrations happen to bring calm to any held tensions enabling me to focus mental energy effectively. The ability to fine tune focus makes its use in meditation and healing extensive. Above any other, Frankincense (Boswellia serrata) is my favorite, especially as an essential oil, which has anti-wrinkle anti-inflammatory action on skin and joints. |

The Future of Food: There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America- a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. VERY SOBERING!
Test
Tube Burgers by 2009 With the new FDA laws the public will not be informed that this meatstuff was lab crafted. The public is equally not informed about genetically modified fruits and vegetables that are on the increase. Processed food items account for over 80% of edibles on grocery shelves. I do not eat red meat however my concern are the grand health implications from mass consumption surely to be noted in this generation of young children. Also read this!

Artificial
hormones in U.S. beef linked to breast cancer, prostate cancer-There
is new concern over evidence that growth and sex hormones in beef
can cause genital abnormalities in boys, and early onset of puberty
in girls.
Engineered hormone in milk may be linked to twinning- A recent study found that women who consumed dairy products were five times more likely to give birth to twins than vegan women. The study suggested that the use of engineered bovine growth hormone/bovine somatotropin (BGH/BST) to boost milk production in dairy cows may be related to the higher level of twinning. BGH is known to increase twinning in dairy cows. In addition, the rate of human twinning is twice as high in the United States, where BGH is used, as in Britain, where BGH is banned.
The Hidden Dangers of the Explosion of Bottled Water Use- Drinking enough pure water is vital to health, so know your source. About 25% of the bottled water sold in the United States comes from a municipal water source. Most of this water has gone through processing such as reverse osmosis, deionization, activated carbon filtration and other approved treatment procedures.Worldwide consumption of bottled water increased by nearly 60 percent to 41 billion gallons in 2004. We are on track toward more than 50 billion gallons this year. Tylenol
found to cause liver damage even in small doses
SALT: In an unprecedented move, the American Medical Association (AMA) voted on June 13 to call on the U.S. government to require salt warning labels on food products and to cut salt content in manufactured foods by 50% within a decade. The AMA, the largest group of physicians in the U.S., is also asking the Food and Drug Administration to revoke salt's status as a food that is "generally recognized as safe," noting there is overwhelming medical evidence that high salt intake dramatically increases risk of heart disease, hypertension and stroke. Horizon milk, Wild Oats & Silk Wave are named in consumer boycott of "false" organic products: Are you buying Horizon brand organic milk in the grocery store? How about Wild Oats organic milk or Silk soymilk? The Organic Consumers Association has added these products to its list of "false" organic products that it says are mislabeled and are not genuinely organic! Last chance to halt bad food bill A Senate committee will hold a hearing July 27 on the food “uniformity” bill, which rolls back hundreds of state protections that keep our food safe to eat. While the bill passed the House in March, your emails still helped even some of the cosponsors vote against it! Help us in the Senate to stop this bill from becoming law! |
Big Pharma Scare Tactics: How the Pharmaceutical Industry Influences American Consumer- Evil marketing geniuses write a spy thriller intended to scare Americans away from buying cheaper Canadian drugs.
A new study from researchers at Oregon State University reveals that a natural ingredient found in beer may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. The ingredient, found in the hops used to brew beer, is xanthohumol, and belongs to a group of plant compounds called flavonoids that can trigger the death of cancer cells along the surface of the prostate gland. German brewers have already responded by creating a beer with ten times the amount of xanthohumol, marketing it as a "healthy beer." A UCLA study of pomegranate juice suggests it can have a beneficial effect on prostate cancer in humans. The men who drank a glass of pomegranate juice daily showed a doubling time of 54 months on average, as opposed to the standard average of 15 months, meaning that pomegranate juice slowed the growth of prostate cancer tumors to less than one-third the typical rate. USDA documents reveal lax oversight of pharma crops- Last year, an internal audit revealed critical failings in the USDA's oversight of field trials of crops that are genetically engineered to produce pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals. The documents concerning 2005 cultivation of pharmaceutical-producing rice in North Carolina revealed that the department failed to perform required inspections, failed to enforce conditions imposed on the company producing the rice, and failed to inspect the rice after a hurricane blew through, potentially contaminating a nearby rice breeding facility. These inadequacies support our call for a nationwide ban on the outdoor production of pharma and industrial food crops as the only way to ensure food safety and protect public health |

Essential
Oils to Support the Journey
of Self-Discovery II Through the gift of the Plant Kingdom, flowers and plant essences interconnect with the human species upon the subtler dimensions of consciousness. Herbs hold keys to internal knowledge and by using them they transfer information to us via the language of light or vibration. They support our bodies in the transmutation or sheathing process of burning lower density vibrations such as fear into a new set of genetic information (crystalline structure) based upon the higher frequency pattern of love. The following are fragrances to support the transformation process as we spiral through stages that release us from the limitations that stand between the egoic personality and the increasing awareness of our authenitc Self as Soul.
Always use high quality essential oils and be sure to know the source from where they come and how they are processed. Ratios |

The journey of Ascension is a lifelong choice that brings forth ongoing change, resurrection and emotional discharge. Internal transformation is not easy, but with the will of a Warrior we must be willing to let go of the patterns of our conditioning that we rely upon for a new way of being. This applies not only to the emotional relationship to our selves or others, but to the biological body itself. The old manner in which the original system functioned must be relinquished so that the biological system may also shift out of the density of limitation. We must establish an internal flow with self ans extending to others, the planet and the Kosmos. Ascension requires the willingness to look within and to aknowledge where you are emotionally weak or blocked. Wherever you are emotionally stuck there is an etheric counterpart associated with the area of stagnant energy flow. It is always stuck or non-moving energy flow that leads to dis-ease. Move the energy, move the emotions associated with it, and a recovery becomes possible. |
Herbs will assist you by moving the stagnant points within the etheric network; then you must process your emotions and learn to relate in a new manner perhaps with greater compassion to your fellow humanity. Each biological system is associated with a particular emotional expression in form. Forgiveness is most important to embrace as it is first note of the Language of Light. 1-
Observe your internal dissonance. Blessings on the Journey unto Self! |

Senate
Poised to Pass Bill Taking Away Your Right to Know What's in Your
Food The House of Representatives
has passed a controversial "national food uniformity"
labeling law that would take away local government and states' power
to require food safety food labels such as those required in California
and other states on foods or beverages that are likely to cause
cancer, birth defects, allergic reactions, or mercury poisoning.
This bill would also prevent citizens in local municipalities and
states from passing laws requiring that genetically engineered foods
and ingredients such as Monsanto's recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone
(rBGH) be labeled. |
