By Syed Reaz In spirituality, there are number of exercises available that help enhance the mental concentration. These exercises help reduce the flow of negative thoughts, which in turn lessens the mental confusion. When these extra exercises are done along with the Muraqaba (Sufi meditation) the mind gains the needed mental focus ahead of time and the positive effects of Muraqaba emerge earlier as well. Although there are plenty of these exercises available, here we are going to discuss breathing, as its success rate is also great. Breathing In the emotional ups and downs and in the overall nervous system, breathing has a very essential role. During different emotional states, the rate of respiration fluctuates. In tragic circumstances breathing could become a challenge as people often feel difficulty in breathing after hearing tragic news. On the other hand, during anger the rate goes up. During peaceful moments the style of breathing becomes totally different. During this state, breathing becomes balanced and its rate goes down. However when something suddenly comes as a shock then we all simply gasp for air. Spiritual abilities and breathing are closely inter related. According to spiritual science, breathing has two sides, ascending and descending. Inhaling is ascending movement while exhaling is descending. During the ascending mode, the person is closer to his or her spiritual state and in the descending mode moves towards the gravity. We are more close to our spiritual state when the inhaling is prolonged and the breath is retained longer then usual. When respiration stops then our link to the body is disconnected. That is why in order to enter the sub-conscious senses, breathing does not have to be stopped, but it must be slowed down. A living example is dreaming or a state of deep trance. In these conditions, a person does respire however; the style of breathing is noticeably different from that of a normal breathing pattern. The rate of breathing is slower and the inhaling takes longer as well. Exhaling on the other hand is shortened. In other words, when we are under the influence of inner senses not only our breathing slow down but the duration of inhaling increases as well. When this style of breathing is intentionally practiced then the subconscious state affects consciousness during the awakened state and its effects usually last longer. PRACTICE-1: Sit in a squat position. Keep your back straight, however avoid having any part of the body tense. Exhale from both nostrils so that the lungs are free from air. Slowly inhale through nostrils. When the lungs the lungs become full, exhale through the mouth without holding it. During exhaling keep your lips round as if whistling, without holding it. This exhaling and inhaling constitute one cycle. At the beginning start with eleven cycles and gradually go up to twenty-one. This exercise helps in controlling the movements of lung muscles and it increases the duration of inhaling. The rate of respiration during Muraqaba should be as low as possible. However, it is imperative that the rate of breathing should not be slowed intentionally. Otherwise, the focus would shift to the respiration instead of the Muraqaba. The best way to avoid that is to inhale and exhale slowly for a while before starting Muraqaba. That way the respiratory rate will drop automatically. PRACTICE-2: Sit in a squat position just like the practice-1 and put your forearms in the knees. Inhale slowly from both nostrils. When the chest is full of air then hold the breath for five seconds. Then exhale through the mouth similar to whistling style. After a few moments rest repeat the process for five times. Next day increase the total to seven until the total number of cycles reach eleven. At this point, increase the hold period from five to six seconds however the total number of cycles will remain eleven. When holding the breath for six seconds is not causing any mental or physical strain then increase it to seven seconds. Unless and until one reaches full command of the practice, keep the hold period to seven seconds. Gradually it should be increased to fifteen seconds, which the maximum allowed time for hold. PRACTICE-3: After sitting in the squat position as explained in the practice-1, closed the right nostrils using the right hand thumb and inhale through the left nostril for four seconds. Hold it for four seconds. Now using the last two fingers of your hand closed the left nostril while the right nostril is still closed with the thumb. In this way, the remaining two middle fingers will be resting between the eyebrows. At this point release only the thumb from the right nostril and exhale from that nostril for four seconds and without stopping inhale from it for four seconds. Again, hold it for four seconds and close the right nostril with the thumb. Then from the left nostril release those fingers and exhale for four seconds. This constitutes one cycle. After a few moments rest repeat it three times. Increase one cycle every day until you reach seven cycles. When doing seven cycles and four-second routine becomes comfortable, increase only the hold time to six seconds while the number of cycles will remain at seven. When holding the breath for six seconds and total numbers of cycles is done with ease then increase only the hold time for two more seconds and keep it increasing until the hold time reaches sixteen seconds. When the seven cycles and holding time of sixteen seconds get easy then increase the exhale time to eight seconds. Final figures should be four seconds inhaling, sixteen seconds holding and then eight seconds exhaling.Continue practicing with these figures. All respiratory exercises should be performed at least two and half-hours after a moderate meal. The best time for doing breathing exercises is pre-dawn. At that time not only we are mentally and physically alert but the ratio of oxygen in the air is also the highest. The electro-magnetic activity in the atmosphere is also at its zenith during that time. The second best time for breathing exercises is before going to bed at night.

By Carol W Tuttle Children need to be validated during six different emotional stages of their life. Knowing these six stages and what children need to hear during them will help parents be more successful in raising children that become emotionally healthy adults. As parents we have a sacred stewardship to provide for our childrens physical, emotional, mental and spiritual developmental needs. Children come into the world needing their parents to affirm and validate their worth. When this does not happen, we grow into adults who create codependent relationships in an effort to make others affirm and validate us. As a parent use the following affirmations with your own children to send them messages of validation during the different stages of their growing years. If your children have grown out of some of these stages, it is still not too late. Our child energies are always a part of us. Even if you have adult children, ask God to manifest opportunities for you to speak these messages to your children. They will feel the love you have for them as their parent and greater love will be shared between you. Newborn ( 0-9 months old). Developmental Need: To be validated for being who you are. Welcome to the world, weve been eagerly waiting for you. We have prepared a special place for you. All your needs are important to us. We will provide for you willingly. God smiled the day you were born. Infancy ( 9 18 months old). Developmental Need: Supported in exploring, sensing and doing in the world. Its okay to be curious, to want, to look, to touch, and to taste things. We will make it safe for you to explore. We love you just the way you are. We are here to take care of your needs. You do not have to take care of ours. Toddler (18 3 years old) Developmental Need: Supported in learning to express in your own true voice your thoughts, ideas and feelings about life Its okay to say what you think and feel. How you think and feel is important to us. We love you even if we think differently. We love it when you share your ideas. Preschooler ( 3 6 years). Developmental Need: Coming into your own identity and power. It is okay for you to test your boundaries and find out your limits. We will set appropriate limits for you to keep you safe and help you find out who you are. We like your energy; we like your curiosity about life. Its okay for you to think for yourself, and we will think for ourselves. School Age ( 6 12 years). Developmental Need: Fitting in, having structure, knowing and learning. You can be your own unique self at school. There is no one you have to please. Its okay to learn to do things your own way. Its okay to think about things and try them out before you make them your own. Adolescence ( 13 18 years). Developmental Need: Separating and creating independence from family. You can take all the time you need to grow up. You can know who you are and learn and practice skills for independence. You can grow in your maleness and femaleness. You can still feel dependent at times. Affirm your children often with these validating phrases. Affirm your own inner child to finally receive love, respect, and support. Fulfill your sacred obligation of being the safest, kindest, most loving, affirming parent you can be. You cannot give a child too much validation. God created us to be loved and validated. Make a choice to stop passing down the wounds of your family to your children, by being the best parent you can be. Raise your child using these phrases, and others that the Holy Spirit gives you, so your children are free to grow into their adult experience knowing themselves as God knows them. In this knowing they will carry with them a reverence and humility for being anchored in their truth.

By Christopher Walker MEME Summary of the Keynote presented to Gosford. What is a MEME? A meme is to the consciousness what a gene is to the physical body Genes are of the physical worldMemes are of the world of thought Memes are thoughts we think without thinking. A meme therefore lives in our subconscious and can define our behavior, reactions, actions, motives, tastes, preferences, inclinations, interests, decisions. But rarely to we identify them. Memes come from societal norms. Memes come from parents. For example incest happens in the children of incested women at nearly 4 times the prevalence than in those children of non incested mothers. This is not a gene it is a meme. WE have social norms. And these are memes because we hardly know that they can be questioned. In some religious societies people are punished severely for breaking or even questioning memes. As a change agent in human love, I must question those memes and therefore I get allot of resistance from people. Memes are often unquestioned. To do what you love in your life you must break memes. This is the key to it. Memes can sit in your subconscious and prevent you living the authentic life you know is possible. Here are some memes, that can prevent you from living your dreams. The meme that something always looks after us (universe or god or someone) The meme that our expectations are real and the world has a problem The meme that we are separate from nature The meme that support means love and challenge is not worthy of love The meme that you are, in some way, better off copying someone else. The meme that someone is happier than you The meme that there is a place where there is less challenge The meme that growth means more success and mental peace. Here are some new memes you might like to replace the above with; Nothing is wrong. There is only beauty in the world that I still havent been able to see. Love is support and challenge. There will never be an imbalance. Challenge is as much fun as support/ I cannot be right. Even my intuition is half wrong. My thoughts are half right. I can only do what I love. There is nothing to fix. It isnt broken. Everything is worthy of love. No matter. Anything we try to fix just proves our own judgments and causes more memes.There are no excuses There is no one to blame nobody does more to us than we do to ourselves. Appreciation builds deprecation destroys. People become as I treat them. Everything I want to change in somebody is something that I dont appreciate and therefore wanting to change people, depreciates them. We are everything we see. Just in different forms. The power is that what we judge we breed, what we judge we attract. What we appreciate is us. What we criticize is us. WE are the all. And this is how we expand, by seeing both sides. There is nothing to change. Depression is caused by elation (fantasy) Live with spirit Chris Walker Chris Walker is a world leading change agent, an environmentalist and author of more than 20 books. Born and bred in Australia, he consults to people and organisations throughout the world on improved relationships, health and lifestyle through the application of the Universal laws of Nature.

By Diana Chaloux Thats right! DONT lose weight. Alright, before you think Ive lost my mind let me explain. Every new year millions of Americans make the vow to sign up at the nearest gym, go gung ho on the treadmill, hop on the bandwagon of the latest diet fad or buy some miracle diet pills and lose those unwanted pounds. But the tragedy is that more often than not, the erratic exercise and eating patterns that these fit and healthy wannabes adopt are not healthy and are not maintainable for life. And whats worse, most of the weight that is lost from fad diets is water and precious lean muscle tissue. Also, it is highly likely that weight and fat will be gained back and then some as soon as old eating habits come creeping back into the picture! We are a nation obsessed by the scale and the number which it presents to us. Many of us allow this number to control us, to define us, even to depress us. But think about this for a moment. What does the scale really tell us about a person? Consider this, you have a round and squishy beach ball weighing a total of .4 ounces. You also have a round and firm baseball also weighing in at .4 ounces. If you looked at the scale you would have no way of deciphering which is which, the composition of these two items is more important than the number on the scale. Now lets say that the beach ball represents someone who is overweight and has a high body fat percentage, and the baseball represents a lean and fit person who has a high percentage of lean muscle tissue and thus a low body fat percentage. Which would you rather be? Hmmm let me think. The baseball? My point is that the number on the scale isnt the best measure of your health and fitness level. Its the composition of your body that matters. Your body composition is simply the amount of lean body mass (muscle, tissue, organs, bones etc.) vs. fat body mass. The best way to change the composition of your body, to reduce the amount of fat and increase the amount of fat burning muscle in order to become the lean and strong baseball is to adopt healthy eating and exercise patterns which you can maintain for life! Making maintainable changes means changing your behavior, and lets face it, thats not easy. My advice is to start small. Set goals for yourself. Picture where you would like to be in three months from now, and start making small changes to your eating and exercise habits each week. Dont get discouraged! Keep in mind that developing a fit and healthy lifestyle and changing the composition of your body for good, takes time! Stay consistent with making healthy food choices and exercising regularly (both strength training and cardio!) and you will win over the power of the scale! Instead of losing weight make the resolution to change your body composition this year. Start developing healthy eating and exercise habits which you can maintain for the rest of your life. So maybe you wont lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks. So what! If I had the choice I would rather lose 20 pounds in 3 months and keep it off for the rest of my life, than to lose it in 2 weeks and gain it back a month later! Make 2007 the year you discover the all new, fit and healthy you. Diana Chaloux is the co-founder and owner of Destined 2 Be Fit (http://www.destined2befit.com).

By Mumtaz Shah You then become frustrated with salespeople asking, or begging for a compensation claim? You don’t know them and they want to be your best ‘buddy’. For a while, I guess?! You dont have a clue about their company, what they do and how they complete. But you’re about to make a mistake, thanks to their sweet talk An injury claim service is something we need in society. A service, we may not need right now, but could surely need it in the future. It’s just like insurance we pay a premium for an intangible item. A premium to cover costs of an accident that ‘might happen’, not ‘will happen’. Compensation claims is nothing new, its been going on for years. However, as time goes by, procedures and conditions change. Sometimes for the better but not always! Loan Agreements Loan agreements came about, with banks, large banks such as RBS, funding a personal injury claim. It wasn’t needed for a claim, but handlers were making money, substantial amounts, per case. As the clock ticked, people caught on and slowly found its way to the back door. But not completely with every company, so beware! Once service providers figured out the lack of business generation due to the use of loan agreements, they needed something new. A new direction to help them to be more profitable another business strategy! Anyway, back to the drawing board and after weeks of playing with the small print, the birth of kick backs came alive! Kick backs? A kick back is a term used by claim handlers to receive money from a claimants compensation. This is a service charge, administration or management fee for maintaining the clients so called ‘best interest’. It’s just an alternative scheme to loan agreements. However the amount deductible was dependable on different factors. This was working perfectly, until large amounts became deductible by different companies. Some were charging four figure sums and for the claimant, it got annoying! Injury compensation claims began spreading like a forest on fire, many setting up and deducting smaller management fees to get business. It got smaller and smaller, then ‘bang’ it began saturating. Why? People caught up AGAIN… Still going on today, however for some, it was back to the drawing board! Brainstorming sessions now lasted months leading to 6 then 12 months, as something tactical was required. Then a new baby was born… 100% Compensation It was fantastic and worked like a charm, well only in the eyes of claim companies The answer to everyone’s question, ‘give me all my compensation money or Im not giving you my personal injury claim?’ In the beginning, it was like a dream come true, until right at the end of the case, ‘boom’ this time more deductions. But how you may ask? Once an injury claim is settled, the specialist pays out 100% compensation, as promised. But the disclosure of deductions after a case is your job to ask, before a company commences in the initial stages. So How Do You Avoid These Dilemmas? ASK!!! Ask if there is a loan agreement in place? No… then proceed. Ask if there is any kick back in place? No… then proceed. Ask if you get ‘all’ of the compensation money (i.e. 100% Compensation)? No… perfect. Now this is how you erase dilemmas to get ALL the money for your injury claim… by asking! It’s easy to claim injury compensation, if you ask! The 12 ‘Revolutions’ were created to put all your compensation in your pocket.

By Shawn LeBrun It’s important that you change your eating habits so they support you in your goals of losing fat. You cannot be overweight unless you have a lifestyle that supports being overweight. To become thin and stay thin, you must set up your lifestyle so that it supports weight loss. That’s where making these steps we are taking habit will create permanent weight loss. The only way they will not work is if you do not do them. If eating cookies, cakes, and ice cream late at night is a major weakness you have, you must set it up so that stuff is not there. Do not buy it at the stores. If it isn’t in the house, you can’t eat it. If certain impulse foods in the house cause you to eat more than normal and more often than normal, you must set it up so that those foods are not available. Instead, have fruit, pretzels, nonfat yogurt, or cottage cheese in the house to replace junk food. Again, you cant eat whats not in the house. You have to set up your immediate environment so that it supports weight loss, not hinders it. Now we are going to talk about a very simple way you can condition your body to burn more calories, even at rest. This is going to be one of the most effective steps you can take in your weight loss efforts. Make this habit and you will succeed with weight loss. The key to permanent weight loss is speeding up your bodys metabolism so that it burns through the food you consume more rapidly. Meaning, it processes and utilizes the food more efficiently. Remember your friends you grew up with, the ones you hate now because they could eat anything all day long and they would never gain any weight (you dont still hate them, do you?) They were like that because genetically they had very fast metabolisms. They could eat food all day long and their bodies would be hard at work utilizing and metabolizing that food quickly. As we get older, our metabolisms begin to slow down. Unfortunately with most people, as they get older, their activity levels also diminish. So there is a double concern of slower metabolisms and less physical activity. Thankfully, we can condition our metabolism to operate more efficiently. The simplest, easiest way of speeding up the bodys metabolism is by eating small, well-balanced and nutritious meals or snacks every three to four hours. The more you present your body with small amounts of food, the faster it becomes at processing and utilizing this food. Eating every three to four hours equates to about 5 or 6 small meals or snacks a day, instead of the traditional, (and flawed) 3 squares that we were tricked into believing was best. This one small step of eating every three to four hours will change your body for the better more so than any other thing that you learn from this book. Make this routine a habit and watch the results it brings. At first you will have to probably force feed your body to eat every three to four hours, but after a week or two, it becomes habit. You can make any routine a habit in only a few weeks or so (Unfortunately it is true with bad habits too). Eat often and in moderate amounts, just enough so that you are not hungry again until another three to four hours. Eat a small, healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner and then have a small snack between breakfast and lunch, between lunch and dinner, and between dinner and bedtime. That comes out to 6 small meals. The great thing about eating every three to four hours, besides the fact that its beneficial for your metabolism, is that it actually makes it seem youre eating more food than normal. Psychologically you do not feel deprived of anything because it seems youre eating more often. If you eat every three to four hours, you do not build up hunger, so you are less likely to eat large amounts of food. Eating every three to four hours also causes concern for some people who are not aware of the benefits of eating small meals often. Many people are misinformed and think that eating often will lead to weight gain. This is only true if you are eating often and are eating more than your daily calorie needs. Unfortunately, some people also think that the less you eat and the less often you eat, that will create more chance of weight loss. Of course, now you know that’s not the case. Earlier we talked about creating a lifestyle change. This is one of those changes. It is all based upon the speeding up of your body’s metabolism and the efficiency in which it burns off calories. This one change may assist you with fat loss more so than any other. As much as eating 3 squares a day has become habit since childhood, eating 6 smaller, well balanced and nutritious snacks/meals each day can become habit as well. Try it for 30 days and if you cannot make it habit successfully in that amount of time, go back to your old ways. Within the first couple of weeks of this change, youll start to feel hungry every three hours or so. If you are getting hungry every 3 hours or so, that means that your last meal was not too large and not too small. It’s important to eat enough to feel satisfied, but not overly full. Youll be eating again in three to four hours, so you want to eat just enough to be hungry again in that time period. The most specific way to measure the amount to eat each meal or snack is to divide your daily calorie maintenance amounts by 6, which is the number of meals/snacks youll be eating. For example, if you are supposed to consume 1800 calories per day for your daily calorie needs, you would divide that by 6 (for the number of meals) and you would come up with 300 calories (1800/6) per meal or snack. Realistically, each of your meals will not be identical in calorie totals, but at least this will give you a ball park figure to aim for each time you eat. Eating every three to four hours may seem like you are going to be eating too much food, but what you’re really doing is taking what you would probably eat in your 3 regular meals and you’re spreading them throughout the day. What this does is speed up your metabolism to burn up and use the calories more often, ridding the body of what it doesnt need. With practice, this will become habit. We will get into it more later, but you could do something like the following: 6:00 am–Piece of wheat toast with peanut butter, 1 small glass of skim milk. 9:00 am–Balance Bar or Slimfast Bar 12:00 pm–turkey sandwich and diet cola 3:00 pm–small nonfat yogurt or meal replacement shake 6:00 pm– broiled chicken breast and side salad 9:00 pm–meal replacement bar or small bowl of frozen yogurt. Now, many people have looked at this and said that they would never dare to eat that late at night in fear of gaining weight. Let me ask you, with what you know already from this book, will you gain weight simply from eating late at night? If you answered no, then you get an A. If you answered “Yes” you still havent gotten the premise behind weight gain and weight loss. Eating late at night will not and cannot itself make you gain weight. Only excess calories make you gain weight. If you have already consumed your total daily calorie amount by night and then eat again right before bed, going over your daily calorie number, then you indeed will gain body fat. It’s the fact that you’ve gone over your calorie number and have created a calorie surplus, not that fact that you ate late at night. The fact is, having your last meal/snack before bed is a healthy thing to do. Sleeping for eight or more hours is a lot of time for your body to be without nutrients that it uses to repair and recover muscle tissue. If you last ate at 6:00 pm, your body has a very long time to go before it gets another meal (breakfast) that it can use for repairing vital muscle tissue when you sleep at night. Sleep is the bodys repair and recovery time and that’s when it uses nutrients to support this repair. By not eating a protein meal or snack before bed, you limit the amount of protein and other nutrients your body has to work with. When preparing for my bodybuilding show, even up to the night before the show, I had a small meal or snack right before bed and sometimes I even got up in the middle of the night to eat again. I was 5% body fat the day of the show. Men are normally considered thin if they are between 15% and 20%. I was 5% body fat. If eating at night made you fat, I would never have achieved this low body fat number. The basis of this chapter is this: Creating a habitual lifestyle that supports weight loss is a vital step in staying thin. The easiest and most effective way to do this is by eating a nutritious, small meal or snack every three to four hours. Start building muscle and losing fat in the least amount of time possible.

By Joe Simmons Dieting is a pain in the “you know what” and can be very discouraging if you have a substantial amount of weight to lose. Many people jump from one diet to another hoping each time that “this is the one” that’s going to get them where they want to be, but most continue to fail. Sadly, most people that do initially lose the weight end up gaining it back again. Why you ask? Because they didn’t need to go on a diet in the first place. What? Yeah, going on a diet is NOT the answer for weight loss. Alright, let me re-phrase that. You can lose weight by dieting, but you’ll never keep it off by simply dieting. You must learn how to live all over again. Read on. In this era of drive through windows that stay open until 1:00 AM and delivery pizza only a phone call away, it’s no wonder that many people are as overweight as they are. They can simply get on the phone and have the food delivered or go for a quick cruise and get their late night food fix. Isn’t it a coincidence how those fast food commercials start running in the evenings around prime television time? Sheesh, most people don’t stand a chance with those things being pushed in front of their face. The secret to long lasting weight loss, without surgery, is this. Are you ready? Are you sure? Here it comes! You must be willing to change your lifestyle and you must really want it. Many of his peers asked a legendary Rock musician how he was able to finally squash his alcohol dependancy and he replied “you’ve got to really want it.” Binge eating is an addiction just like any other, only it wouldn’t be classified as a disease, unless you were throwing up your food. If you’re really serious about losing weight then you need to make an appointment with your doctor and have them get you on a solid weight loss plan that will do you justice now and in the future. They will probably give you a complete physical to make certain that there aren’t any hidden physical problems and then refer you to a Nutritionist. The Nutritionist will begin by asking your eating habits and giving you information about what your normal body weight and calorie intake should be. They will also closely examine the type of foods that you eat regularly, point out how much bad cholesterol and sodium is contained in those foods and recommend a healthy diet for you. This will surely include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, water and….yes - exercise. If you just fell off your stool because I mentioned the “e” word, consider this. It takes 3500 calories for a person to gain one pound and it takes the same amount to lose one pound. If your diet removes 500 calories from your recommended food intake per day and you do enough exercise to burn an additional 500 calories, you’ll lose two pounds per week. You’ll also be developing very healthy physical activity and eating habits that, if you maintain them, you’ll never have a weight problem again, you’ll drastically reduce your chances of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and other weight related diseases. Who knows, you might even live an extra 10-20 years? The bottom line here is that it takes time to gain the weight and it will take time to lose it. It takes time to develop bad habits and it takes time change those and develop good ones in their place. Most importantly, it takes courage and support from friends and family to help you stay the course and get back to being a healthy you. Good luck and never, ever quit!

According to a study of more than 1,500 patients who had previously undergone cardiac surgery, those who were treated for pain with Bextra were more likely to have heart and blood clotting problems than those who received no drug at all. Associated problems included: * Stroke * Heart attack * Blood clots in the lung * Deep vein blood clots in the leg Regardless of the fact that taking Bextra presents such serious health risks, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) still believes the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks when used by the right patients. In light of these health concerns, however, the FDA approved a new label for the drug, which warns that those who recently had heart surgery (or who are allergic to sulfa products) should not take the drug. The revised label also strengthens the warning of the likelihood of severe skin reactions — two of which may result in death. Bextra is a cox-2 inhibitor, which is a class of painkillers that are popularly used due to their efficiency in treating arthritis pain and other ailments. Vioxx is also a cox-2 inhibitor and was pulled from the market due to the cardiovascular risks linked to taking the drug. Considering the health risks involved with cox-2 inhibitors, the FDA will be holding a public advisory meeting to discuss the safety concerns of these and other related drugs. USA Today December 9, 2004 Dr. Mercola’s Comment: I have previously posted an article warning that Bextra’s risks are even higher than Vioxx’s. And, as this article stated, the FDA is now modifying Bextra’s label to state that taking the drug after having cardiac surgery could increase one’s likelihood of heart and blood clotting problems. Folks, I saw this one coming years ago: In 2001 I warned my readers of the adverse effects from taking Bextra. This drug is just another cox-2 inhibitor disaster waiting to happen. Pain-killing drugs — meant to relieve symptoms but never the true condition — are rarely necessary. Why take the risk of serious side effects from anti-inflammatories when you can create your OWN anti-inflammatory, merely by changing the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats in your diet? These two types of fatty acids are BOTH essential for human health. However, the typical American consumes far too many omega-6 fats and not enough omega-3 fats to be healthy. While the ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats should be 1:1, most people’s intake ratio averages from 20:1 to 50:1! This unbalanced intake could lead to several health problems, whereas proper consumption of omega-3 can help prevent disease or improve many chronic conditions such as: * Breast cancer * Diabetes * Heart disease * Ulcerative colitis * Arthritis * Childhood asthma * Depression * Hyperactivity The easiest way to balance your ratio is to consume more omega-3 fats from good sources and to reduce your intake of omega-6 fats. The primary sources of omega-6 are corn, soy, and canola, safflower and sunflower oils; these foods are overabundant in the typical American diet, which explains our excess omega-6 levels. You want to avoid or limit these oils in order to be optimally healthy. On the other hand, the best omega-3 fats are those found in fish. That’s because the omega-3 in fish is high in two fatty acids crucial to human health: DHA and EPA. Unfortunately, eating most fresh fish — whether from the ocean, lakes and streams or farm-raised — is no longer recommended. This is because (if you are an avid reader of the newsletter then you already know) mercury levels in almost all fish around the world have now hit dangerously high levels, and the risks of mercury now heavily outweigh the benefits gained from fish-derived omega-3 fats. Fortunately there are clean sources of fish oil you can access without having to worry about mercury levels and added toxins, Vital Choice Alaskan Wild Red Salmon comes from the relatively pristine waters of Alaska that have virtually no mercury pollution Not only is this salmon mercury-free, but it is also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, is high in antioxidants to help you live longer and tastes absolutely delicious! You can also achieve omega-3 benefits by taking fish oil and cod liver oil, as this is a clean, safe and pure alternative to fresh fish. I have researched brands and types of fish oil and cod liver oil extensively and can say with absolute confidence that I recommend Carlson’s brand fish oil and cod liver oil. Carlson’s fish oils are rigorously tested for potency and purity and is a healthy addition to most any diet.

By Damian Sofsian Insect bites mostly look like little red bumps on your skin that are often itchy. They are the result of an injection of a foreign substance into your skin. The introduction of this foreign substance may trigger an allergic reaction, depending on the sensitivity of the person to that substance. This foreign substance can come from either a venomous or a non-venomous insect. A venomous insect bites or attacks the person as a defense mechanism, injecting toxic venom into the person’s skin to keep him away. Insects such as bees, hornets, and fire ants are classified as venomous insects. Non-venomous insects, on the other hand, feed themselves by injecting anti-coagulant saliva into your skin. These insects are mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, and some spiders. Mosquito bites usually are visible on a person’s uncovered areas, such as hands, arms, legs, ankle, and the neck. They are easy to spot, as they swell easily. Flea bites mostly are visible in the ankle area and lower leg. They don’t appear instantly but can become increasingly itchy after long hours. A spider bite literally is visible because you can see the bite mark in the middle of a visible swelling lump on the affected area of the skin. The skin’s reaction also varies depending on the kind of spider. The most common effect when the skin gets irritated from an insect bite is itching. This can be treated with any Benadryl lotion. It helps lessen the swelling and eventually reduces irritation. Another effect is stinging, which can be remedied just by placing a cold wet towel on the affected area of the skin. Others may have a serious allergic reaction to an insect bite. Face swelling, difficulty in breathing, fever, and even shock are the serious effects insect bites can cause. If the swelling and stinging still persist, you may be having an acute allergic reaction to the bite and will need to see a doctor immediately.

By Lance Winslow Many folks will have you believe that poor people cannot afford to buy Nutritious Foods in the United States, but this is a fallacy. In some markets or inner cities or remote regions organic grown foods might be tougher to get, but certainly not impossible, rather folks choose to buy foods that are not good for them, because they taste good and the price is slightly lower and some, well they just do not know any better really. Still I noticed that the Health Food Stores are really not that much more in cost; 10% to 15%. And the organic farmers I talk to have discovered all sorts of great techniques and get higher yields than expected due to using natures food chain and understanding the use of bees, butterflies in pollination. So, to me it seems the issues are more Production Science and applied systems approaches to food production VS using the nature’s system ie; food chain. So, in the end some of the issues seem to me to be accessibility to the consumer, not the purposeful misdeeds of the Ag Business. I mean there are various methods and both have lots of good arguments and there are a lot of mouths to feed and it sure beats starving right? Not long ago I had a great conversation with a young lady who had a Masters Degree in nutrition, was as personal trainer type and extremely well-conditioned and we discussed the cell value of fruits and vegetables and the issues with all what you are saying. I cannot disagree with any of it. But at the same time having been to every city in the country and seen all the fields, water levels, distribution points, equipment, corporate and organic or family farms; I also see the vastness of our food supply chain and the critical nature of weather, droughts, plagues, dust, wildfires, etc. Too me it seems that if subsidies stopped for the corporate farms, then the family and organic farmers would continue to grow with networks, co-ops and synergies to continue to produce economies of scale to compete, so if the bureaucracy takes a back seat then the overwhelmed farmers with paperwork might have a fighting chance, right now we put them in jail for running over endangered rats in their fields, that is unbelievable. It seems the so-called level playing field for crop yield is needs some re-leveling in the United States. Still in the end consumer choice should prevail and people can vote with their dollar for what makes sense. Perhaps we might all consider such things and allow this topic and debate to propel thought in 2007. “Lance Winslow” - Online Think Tank forum board.
