Part 1.
Food for thought: Cancer 'is purely man-made' say scientists after finding almost no trace of disease in Egyptian mummies * So..the "Race for the Cure" should send us "Back to the Basics", and rethink what we believe Cancer is, what causes it, and how to prevent and treat it. ** Join Dr. Jeff and Chaim as they discuss "Cancer: It's Not What You Think" *** Topics covered: * History of Cancer * Cancer Today * What Johns Hopkins Says About Cancer and Medical Treatments * What Creates and Feeds Cancer * And More...

Part 2.
Cancer rates have been on the rise for the past 100 years. It is now estimated that more than 40% of all Americans will develop life-threatening cancer. So...how does the “Cancer industry” continue to delude the public into their failing treatments? * The "Race for the Cure" should send us "Back to the Basics", and rethink what we believe Cancer is, what causes it, and how to prevent and treat it. ** Join Dr. Jeff and Chaim as they continue the discussion from last week's show: "Cancer: It's Not What You Think, Part 2" *** Topics covered: * How Modern Medicine Treats Cancer…and Its Results * What “They” Think of Natural/Non-Toxic Treatments * How “Modern Living” Causes Cancer * Are Cancer’s Different? * The Natural/Non-Toxic Approach to Cancer * And More...

Part 3.
The official "War on Cancer" has now been waged for 40 years with untold billions of dollars spent, and yet cancer rates have risen! * The "Race for the Cure" should send us "Back to the Basics", and rethink what we believe Cancer is, what causes it, and how to prevent and treat it. ** Join Dr. Jeff and Chaim as they continue the discussion from Parts 1 and 2 with: "Cancer: It's Not What You Think, Part 3" *** Topics covered: * Common causes of cancer, including the “Dirty Dozen” Consumer Products * All-Too Common Side Effects of Chemotherapy * Non-toxic Alternative Cancer Treatments, including Protocel, Cesium, Herbal, B17, Rife and others * Why the non-toxic approach to treating cancer is so superior * And More...

There's more to health than diet

2011-08-23T12:21:00.001-05:00

Many raw foodists, when they see they are starting to have problems with their health, almost instantly assume that there is something wrong with their diet. Perhaps this is because when they first went raw, that changing over to raw foods healed a plethora of health problems. Certainly a major aspect of being healthy is a healthful diet. However, having a healthy diet does not guarantee being healthy.

So why is this? Simply put, there is more to health than just diet. There is a whole set of healthful lifestyle habits and practices one needs to become and remain healthy. Many of these you will know - being fit, exercising, getting fresh clean air and sunshine, getting plenty of rest and sleep, engaging in healthy relationships.

A person might have a healthy diet, and even practice these healthful lifestyle practices and still be unhealthy. So what other things can influence one's health?

An often ignored aspect of health has to do with mental/emotional/spiritual balance and poise. As we become more sensitive, this poise determines how we will fare when challenged by the world in our new raw bodies.

One of the more difficult challenges of going from SAD to raw is that as the body becomes lighter and less dense, the fat and density that used to insulate us from energies coming from the outside are no longer there. In some sense the SAD diet gave us some shields to help keep those unpleasant energies from affecting us, and the foods served to numb us, so we could easily deal with the prevalent pain that is all over our society. As we become more sensitive on the lighter diet, we get to feel more intensely the pain that others are experiencing and we get more in touch with our own pain. How we deal with feeling this pain and our reaction to this pain is largely driven by our pre-existing mental/emotional/spiritual balance. And many of us don't have the tools necessary to navigate the modern industrial world without our shields on or without our desensitizing foods.

The place where we really feel our pain is around our attachments, specifically our preferences, desires, judgments, and criticisms. To see if you have some attachments, ask yourself the following questions:

Are you OK with the current state of the world? If not, what is it that is bothering you?

Are you OK with the way people are treating you? If not, what is it that is bothering you?

Are you OK with they way people with whom you interact behave and live their lives? If not, what is bothering you?

If your answers to these questions is "yes, I am OK with this" and you are a happy person, then this aspect of balance and poise is not your issue. If you said yes and you still feel unhappy, then it could be that you need to get a bit quieter and go inside and see if your answers really reflect how you feel.

But for most people, there will be a list of things that are bothering them. This list is a gift, as it points to places inside you where you resist your world and reality, and bringing this to consciousness provides you with a beginning place to start your exploration of getting free of pain of these issues.

Another place I see where raw foodists create pain in their lives is how they exert control over themselves. For many, controlling how one lives their day to day life is a means of avoiding pain and not feeling bad. And when we first engaged in some of these control tactics, they seemed to work well and kept us from our pain. But often these control tactics become abusive to ourselves and they create more pain than they prevent. Certainly controlling what one eats (especially when there is high desire to eat things that aren't on one's officially approved list of good foods) is a form of abuse or violence.

Freeing oneself of one's self control is not as easy as it may seem. First one has to get in touch with the feelings that put the control there in the first place, and then bring these feelings to consciousness and find it within ourselves to let this stuff go.

I had this control issue come up with going to a low fat diet. At first I exerted control to keep my fat very low. But the desire was there, and it wasn't going away. So I let go of my control, allowed myself to eat more fat, and over time (about 2 years) the desire for fat disappeared all by itself.

There was a point early in my raw foods process where the desire for cooked foods simply disappeared. It happened after I went to eating high fruit and a lot of mono eating. But I often meet raw foodists who don't ever get to this point, the desire for cooked food is always there. What I recommend to them is to let go of the control, and allow themselves to eat the cooked foods. At some point the body will either tell you that this doesn't work, at which point the desire will go away, or if it does work, then why change it?

These issues described here - dealing with new found sensitivity, feeling more strongly the pains of attachment, and use of control to achieve one's goals, are problems I see time and time again in the raw community. And these issues, if not brought to consciousness and resolved, will create a painful life that will hamper or even cease one's healing that came with the raw diet, to a point where the raw diet no longer works. For many people, this will mean needing supplementation to cope, or needing to eat heavier foods including cooked grains and animal products.

Raw Food Diet: Enjoy Nutrition as Nature Designed

2011-08-14T20:36:00.000-05:00

Photo from: http://eatfruitfeelgood.com/

(NaturalNews) Raw food diets are becoming increasing popular, and with good reason. Foods in their raw state are truly as nature designed and they are the most biocompatible with our bodies. In fact, it's interesting to know that a boiled potato has 420 more molecular compounds than a raw potato. These new compounds are created in the cooking process, but part of the problem is that our bodies aren't always able to process new compounds - even if someone created them in a kitchen and they taste good.

Our bodies have specific enzymes for digestion, and they work like a lock and key. But when we keep changing the locks, the keys don't always fit. The result is that cooked foods aren't always digested well and particles of them end up stored in our bodies as toxic sludge, instead of used for fuel with the remainder eliminated.

Interestingly, studies have shown that cooked foods increase our white blood cell activity. This essentially means that our bodies see cooked foods as invaders, and work to defend against them. Raw foods don't have this effect.

Another reason raw foods diets are becoming popular is that raw foods contain enzymes whereas cooked and processed foods are devoid of enzymes, as heating destroys them. Enzymes are critical factors in the health equation; they're often called our life force. Enzymes are the catalysts for every function of the body, including blinking and breathing. When we run out of enzymes, we die.

Digestion requires enzymes and by eating raw foods, we're doing little to deplete our enzyme reserves. In contrast, cooked foods demand that the body give up some of its enzymes for digestion. In this manner, cooked foods literally speed our death and hasten all of the processes along the way, including aging and disease.

Unfortunately, most cultures and social circles aren't geared towards raw foods. Many don't understand the benefits of raw food diets, or understand that a diet geared around cooked foods causes problems. Many people also think raw foods are boring or difficult to prepare. In truth, they don't have to be either.

Adding Raw Foods to Your Diet

An easy way to increase your raw food consumption is to drop the cereal or toast for breakfast and start eating fruit. People often say they'd be hungry doing that, but the solution is to eat more. A pineapple or half watermelon is a delicious breakfast. Your favorite fruit can also replace candied or processed snacks.

You can also boost your raw food intake by eating more salads, and making them more substantial in the process. A salad doesn't have to be all lettuce and half a tomato. Salads can skip the lettuce entirely and can bulk up with a quarter cabbage, two tomatoes, an avocado, and perhaps half a cucumber. With a great dressing, it'll be delicious, and most people will be quite satisfied afterward. So, forget conventional salad wisdom and bulk your salads up with lots of your favorite veggies.

Raw foods can also be added to cooked foods, when the cooking is complete. For example, shredded cabbage, fresh thyme, and a diced tomato can be added on top of a boiled potato to make a great half raw "potato salad." Just season with coconut oil and sea salt.

If you're not ready to go completely raw, you can benefit by simply adding more raw foods to your diet. Many health experts recommend a diet of about 70 percent raw foods, which would be two meals a day, plus snacks. However, in truth, the more you add, the better off you'll be.

;How to create elegant salad recipes...

Here’s an example that is elegant, light, has simple flavors, ease of preparation and artful presentation:

Salad prepared with salad leaves, strawberries, vine tomatoes, daikon and curly sprouts with a citrus dressing. It’s very delicious and refreshing on a hot summer afternoon.
Serves about 2 People.

• 4 cups mixed baby salad leaves
• Couple of cherry tomatoes or vine tomatoes
• 1 cup curly sprouts
• 4 basil leaves, torn gently
• 1 Tbsp thyme, torn gently
• 6 strawberries, halved
• Couple of thinly sliced daikon

For the Dressing
• ½ juice of lemon
• 1 red grapefruit, juiced
• A dash of Nama Shoyu
• 3 Tbsp grape seed oil

For the Garnish
• Edible flowers or just herbs, washed and refrigerated

Method
For the Salad
Wash all the vegetables, drain the excess water, toss together in a bowl and refrigerate with a damp cloth over it for about 5 minutes.

For the Dressing
Blend all the ingredients for the dressing and pour it in a jar and refrigerate it for 10 minutes.

For the Garnish
Wash all the edible flowers and place them in the fridge so that they do not welt.

Mounting your Work
Just before serving, pour the dressing on the salad leaves, toss it to coat all the salad well with the dressing and divide the salad between the two serving bowls. Sprinkle edible flowers and/or herbs and serve immediately.

Case Study
Summer salad prepared with salad leaves and strawberries with a citrus dressing.
1. Mixed baby salad leaves are baby leaves like baby spinach, baby rocket leaves, etc. They are good sources of dietary fiber and vitamins.
2. Pink grapefruit has pink colored segments. It has a sour taste.
3. Lemon adds a fresh zesty delicate citrus flavor to the dishes.
4. Nama Shoyu is a raw, natural soy sauce made with wheat and fermented naturally.
5. Grape seed oil is cold pressed salad oil from seeds of grapes.

Health Benefits
1. This is low in calories and proteins, but provides good amount of carbs and fats.
2. Excellent source of vitamin A, a natural antioxidant that reduces acne, and promotes healthy, smooth and radiant skin.
3. Excellent source of vitamin C, a natural water soluble antioxidant. It enhances the body’s immune system, increases the elasticity of skin and blood vessels, and prevents bruising of the skin.
4. Good source of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that scavenges the free radicals that oxidize fats, preserve the integrity of cell membranes, and protect our body against free radical damage.
5. Excellent source of vitamin K. It promotes the mineralization of bones and thus strengthens bones.
6. Good source of folic acid. It is essential in the synthesis of hemoglobin in the blood. Folic acid also prevents the accumulation of an intermediary metabolite called homocysteine in the blood. Elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood are associated with heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.
7. Provides moderate amounts of minerals like manganese, calcium and iron.
8. Very good source of phytosterols, which are plant compounds that have beneficial health effects.

Interview with a young Polish yogi - White Flame.

2011-04-28T15:33:00.006-05:00

The White Flame Music:

Find more thewhiteflame songs at Myspace Music

***
"When you're standing barefoot on the earth, your desires and your life aspirations change. You will look at the world differently. You eliminate confusion, ridding yourself of feelings of pressure and the race for something. You begin to feel the unity of life and the pulsing of the whole universe within you". - White Flame (Samuel)

My road to inedia

I recently interviewed a very interesting young man and, to be honest, I admire him. From the first meeting "The White Flame", because that's who I'm refering to, aroused in me a great interest. Not just because, even in winter, he walks barefoot, but because he leads a life so different than the rest of society ... I saw passion and authenticity in what he does .... I saw his burning, firey spark, the White Flame.

The man I interviewed was Samuel known as White Flame.

Krystyna: Please, introduce yourself.

Samuel: Hey there. I’m Samuel and I’m the author of few blogs on the Internet around the topics of pranic
nourishment and healing with fire. I’m just a normal guy, who dedicated his life to yoga and mind
purification practices. From my education level – I’m a musician and a composer.

K: Your new name „White Flame", why and what does it mean?

S: That nick name isn’t really new, I’m using it for about 10 years or so.
I don’t remember exactly when I used it for the first time. I remembered once that when I was about 17 years old, I had a dream of an older woman, probably a Master, asked me: “have you ever seen the white flame”, then I forgot completely about this dream, and I remembered years later when I was already using this nick. For me it is an American Indians name, a shamans name, that exactly matches to what I do in life, it is just perfect one for me.
I heal, cleans myself and others with fire, candles, fire is one of my basic and fundamental medications, which lift me up back on my own feet straight in life after a series of traumas and some other people as well.
Flame – means the fire, White – means using it for sacred and spiritual purposes (like shifting our consciousness and deepening our meditation) and healing.
The White Flame doesn’t do much in life, it just is there and burns calmly and tries to lights up some darkness around, burns the evil around, which was my wish to do so, I have been placed on earth to generate the Maharishi Effect, which means calming down the world through meditation and cleansing people. There are different invisible beings sometimes working through me, some times I only do things for my own enlightenment, which achieving the state of Buddha is my most important aim . I believe that, cleansing one persons aura I really help a dozen or so people connected emotionally to that person, generating a domino effect in the society, it creates peace in families, greater relaxation in places of great tension. I try shifting
awareness of people to a more subtle level and less aggressive states.

K: What is Pranarianism?

S: I don’t really know if there is an officially existing word like that, rather not but it circulates around the web among some people. However it reflects exactly what I’m doing and that’s why I like to use it. Shortly speaking for me it is “ an ability to nourish the body with etheric energies (existing in the nature), absorbing them and converting them in the body, which can lead sometimes to life without the need of solid food”. But I promote prana absorption techniques indifferently if someone eats or not. Prana is the key, not the “not eating” called inedia. That’s only my personal definition, everyone has his own different one.
A very popular name relating to his topic is the word “breatharianism”, which I don’t really like as it
is very misguiding and doesn’t contain the essence what it should have, a part somehow relating
it to prana, and prana we absorb from the environment in different ways not only through air, the
“breath” in the word and breathing process, and definitely the techniques which I use are not only
breathing techniques (so called pranayamas). The topic is much more wider than that. It is not
only living on air!
Another name for this phenomenon is “Living On Light” or “Living In Light” and here we have an
imprecision . Some people associate living on light with living on sunlight and sun gazing and
some with living on spiritual “liquid light”, the HOLY SPIRIT which is something different than the
sun and etheric energies existing in the nature. So if we think of living on the sun, it is equal to
pranarianism or at least one of it’s elements, as sun gazing is one of our feeding techniques. If
we think of channelling down energy from spiritual sources, different higher dimensions, that is
something different. In Huna, the energy in the nature is called MANA, and the spiritual energy
MANA MANA. The difference is like in the Bible, SPIRIT of the nature and HOLY SPIRIT of GOD
send down to us from the heavens. I practice both methods, but recently I started to concentrate
more on feeding myself like a plant, including absorbing the energy from the sun, air, earth and
other plants/trees too, which hasn’t been really presented yet publicly properly.

K: Bear footing...

S: Walking bear feet is one of the conditions the techniques I describe to work properly and a beautiful natural experience. It is the most natural thing for our body, for me shoes are almost a crime for our bodies, because their gum sole isolated the body for the earth electromagnetic field which often leads to different kind of sicknesses. Bear foot walking unifies us with the earth and makes our mind/brain function much better and is fundamental for energy feeding. If you don’t have the conditions to walk bear feet, nourishing with prana will never be proper and we’ll feel discomfort.

K: Do you always live on prana?

S: Paradoxically no, and that is also my principle – no strict discipline!!! I once wanted it like that ,
but I understood that it’s not the proper way. Why? It is logical. Every type of feeding the body,
activates different organs for it. Contrarily to a typical human being who strains his digestive
system and stomach eating at least 3 times per day a heavy mix of different stuff, that saying it
simply – makes him sick, and leading to the atrophy of all pranic abilities totally, I try to use and
develop all the systems quite evenly. An average person has a huge part of his brain blocked, the
most subtle canals are slimed because of overeating and lack of fasting in modern culture. The
whole body is destabilised because of eating. But you can also strain the organs responsible for
pranic nourishment as well, if you use only them, so it good to use the stomach from time to time.
Maybe once per week, or per month for example.
People who totally left eating for pranic nourishment, had their stomach shrink completely, and I
have also experienced that myself. It’s a very funny feeling when you feel as if you didn’t have a
stomach :) But I like my stomach, and I will use it from time to time. It is part of this experience on
earth, of human body experience. I have the right to use it, whenever I want to experience the
taste of different foods, sweetness of fruits etc. But I don’t strain it!! When I eat, I make it simple
for the body: I eat mono-type foods at one time, I don’t mix, I don’t join to many substances in
one meal, just one, no spices to cheat the body to put worthless unfresh crap into it. I don’t make
the digesting process hard for the body, I don’t overload it with different chemical rubbish, just
mostly fruits in their natural fresh form guided by intuition.
When I’ll lose the interest in experiencing tasting here on earth, I may move my consciousness to
a different body, similar to a so called gray who doesn’t have a digestive system and doesn’t eat.
A different thing is that I exist in a human society, and people do eat, they eat all the time, and the
whole living is constructed on the base of eating. When I stop eating, I lose connection to people,
I lose interest in this world, my mind floats away somewhere else, I enter a different mind wave
frequency. Unfortunately, on my level of evolution, my survival in this world is based on
connections with people and there is always some business to do. When I meditate in isolation, I
chose to feed with prana, because I have a brighter mind then and a better connection to myself
and for example a chance to heal something in my body through detoxification.

K: How does your feeding life style look like when you’re not living on prana?

S: Because I practice meditation, mainly at home, and not in the forest like Buddha ( also in a
different climate) it cancels my chances of nourishing with energy constantly. When I’m in the
bush, for example in a tropical climate, feeding with energy becomes really easy and simple, and
just comes naturally without any programming or so. Then I have a lot of energy. For example: 2
weeks without any food, walking 10km on sand bear feet, carrying a really heavy bag, not feeling
tired just enjoying really the walk in the suns heat, not really sweating, no thirst. Full connection
with the earth, feeling of unity with everything. Just joy.

I did practice living totally on divine-spiritual energy, closing myself totally for the nature, and it allowed me to for example: a whole month to work 8 hours a day in a very busy office environment among lots of people, without starring at the sun as I didn’t have time for that, (walking out of home before sunrise, and getting back after sunset), without any hunger, without barefoot walking, sometimes lifting heavy objects, without being weak. But I did feel I was straining a part of my body and I felt discomfort with that. My body didn’t call for food, I wasn’t hungry at all, but it started to beg me to shut down that part at the top of my head/brain that was responsible for the converting the energy and hugely opened and grew. I felt as if I had a gigantic cone above my head and it was beautiful in some sort of way. It was a strain and I learned a lot through this experience. I ate some fruits, the brain shut down ( I literally saw the 7th chakra close down) to a relief to me as the pain of overusing went away, as if I
had run a marathon, and the cone disappeared. If I do this technique again when there is no sun for a longer time, the cone appears again.

- this image shows what I mean, the shape above the head, this is a reality, after a longer time of
divine nourishment in our aura we can observe such shape.
So, if I have a normal life at home, writing for several hours on the computer in a closed room –
which in fact leads the body to shut down the chakras and the absorption of energy from the
nature activating the stomach more, I try to live a way like this:

- in the morning – a session/ meditation, channelling the divine energy, that is my breakfast and
most important food ever, after which I feel well and feel love to everything, love is also
nourishment. I also spend many hours on purification stuff

- some times if the weather is nice and I get up early and then it looks different.
I do watch the sunrise for about 45 min. If not, it maybe the sun set, at least an hour on fresh air
searching for the sun. Sun is very important for me and keeps me in balance. I try to undress
myself to get half naked if possible, and I practice sun gazing bear feet naked. Exposing the skin
to sunlight, for me it is nourishment, we get energy through this. Looking at the sun is a beautiful
experience and gives me enthusiasm to work.
If there is no sun, I try to get the energy from practising qi gong exercises under trees, which also
works great, sometimes better than sun gazing.

- later, if I have a day outside, in the nature, for example working/ spending time in my tipi, that
would be enough for the day, and I rather won’t eat

- if I’m at home, I mean a solid wall building isolated from the earth, then I feel discomfort if I
spend there most of the day, I may start to eat some fruits and juices or nuts. That’s how it works
for me, everyone has it different ;)

Now important: - if I work with my mind, with a client or myself, if I do a past life regression for
example, pulling out heavy emotional content from the mind, some times from deep past, and I’m
going through experiencing heavy emotions, even very wild feeling, this may push me
sometimes to emotional eating, eating stuff which is actually resonating in that moment with those
emotions. Mind purification is always more important for me than my inedia or not. I don’t care if
then I allow myself to temporally eat as this also discharges and lets go of tension too, and is a
part of the cleansing process. It’s like Buddha eating rice to the surprise of his pupils. So if after
the session my body says: “I want a bread” or something I belief is even toxic, that I would
normally never eat, I will give that to it, because releasing pressure on myself is also therapeutic,
and I see this kind of way of releasing emotional mind content as done properly, and eating
something also may trigger a hidden part of a suppressed content of our subconsciousness which
gets dissolved through awareness (however I would never eat meat).
It is like smoking a cigarette to smother something in us temporarily. Working with mind
purification such situations do happen and it is quite normal for people to eat after regressions.
But it’s just emotional eating from not working out all of the topics in life yet and doesn’t last long.

- if I’m in the bushes, or forest or just in the nature somewhere, I usually try to take the full
advantage of it, from the opportunity to feed myself totally easily without any food supporting my
body detoxification this way, and so I rather don’t eat at all, without any symptoms hunger or
weakening.
For me, all the written above, just sounds logical and doesn’t lead to straining anything in the
body.

K: Samuel, thank you very much for the interview. I still have many questions, and I hope that once again you will open the door and share your new experiences and knowledge. I wish that the White Flame burns forever in your heart and leads you to the path that is chosen for you!

Perfection in the imperfection

2011-04-15T05:06:00.001-05:00

If we cannot find forgiveness in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.
If we cannot find compassion in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.
If we cannot find tolerance in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.
If we cannot find mercy in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.
If we cannot find peace in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.
If we cannot find acceptance in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.
And if we cannot find love in our lives, it is because we have not placed it there.

What we have not placed into the world,
we cannot receive from the world.

Iodine protects thyroid and glandular system from radiation damage

Iodine protects thyroid and glandular system from radiation damage: Here's where to get some.

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor - http://www.naturalnews.com/index.html

(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of Japan's nuclear catastrophe and the fear that winds could blow radiation into the west coast of North America, there has been a sudden rush on potassium iodide, which helps protect your glandular system from radiation poisoning if you're exposed. The Japanese government is handing out this supplement in huge quantities to the survivors north of Tokyo, and here at NaturalNews, we've received a flurry of requests from people wanting to know where they can find available supplies of potassium iodine.

These "radiation pills" are being sold out everywhere. NukePills.com says they were completely sold out over the weekend. Pharmacies in California are receiving a stampede of phone calls from near-panicked residents there, reports Fox News.

Last night I had the strangest dream...

2011-03-11T07:06:00.000-06:00

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
And swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

Spring is just around the corner - create a Weed Free Garden...

2011-03-05T15:54:00.006-06:00

Create a Weed Free Garden in Under 30 Minutes!

Starting a garden doesn't get much easier than this.

One of the things that puts some people off from starting up a raised bed garden is the effort and materials required. They might only start a garden if it is as easy as humanly possible. Well, there's a product out there that makes starting a raised garden or container garden completely excuse-free and utterly un-intimidating.

GardenSoxx is a two-foot long fabric sack of compost that creates a weed-free garden in minutes. Patti Moreno, of The Garden Girl fame, shows us how easy and fast it is to set up a raised vegetable bed with GardenSoxx.

This could be perfect from small boxes of herbs to larger beds like these. It's utterly effort-free gardening, which means that people who don't feel they have a green thumb, or don't feel they have quite the physical ability, space, or tools to create a container garden or raised bed can take part in the urban gardening revolution.

My Innocence ....

2011-02-09T18:44:00.005-06:00

Alex Arndt sings a written by himself touching song about the inner transformation.
***

My Innocence Begins Today
by Alex Arndta

I'm so sorry for the pain I've created
All I want is peace for all living beings
I can't change yesterday
So, my innocence begins today

Tears of pain and disbelief
Swell from my heart then roll on down my cheeks
As i watch a loveless scene
Playing out on my computer screen

I see sweet animals without a voice
Murdered and processed without choice
A carnage world so love deprived
Where no precious life comes out alive

Chorus
My innocence begins today
That's the vow I offered up
As I kneeled down to pray
Thank you God for blessing me
With compassion for all heartbeats
My innocence begins today

Now I see what I didn't know
Inside us all there's a side we never show
Behind cold walls hidden from view
Rages a holocost for them, for me and for you

Imagine all the karmic debt
Some day on earth we'll all regret
Factory farms what a price to pay
Killing a hundred million every single day

Bridge
Reconnect with our innocence
It's so natural to want to live in peace
A global sanctuary where everything lives free
I look to The Universe and know that that's how God wanted it to be.

What DOES Make You Healthy?

How to Solve Nearly Any Illness - Without Drugs:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/01/11/the-year-in-pills.aspx
Posted By Dr. Mercola

There are certain basic tenets of optimal health that have always remained permanent truths, and by consistently adhering to them, you give yourself the best chance at a long and healthy life.

These 10 strategies promote overall health, as opposed to chasing and watering down various symptoms:

1.Eat a healthy diet that’s right for your nutritional type (paying very careful attention to keeping your insulin levels down) - This aspect is so important for optimal health; Dr. Mercola now offers his entire online nutritional typing program for free.

2.Drink plenty of clean water

3.Manage your stress

4.Exercise regularly - Dr. Mercola actually views exercise as a drug with regard to being properly prescribed and having proper dosage, And it's one that you can readily substitute for some of the most common drugs used today for things like diabetes, heart disease and depression.

High-intensity, burst-type exercises like Peak 8 are particularly beneficial for optimal health, as it effectively boosts fat loss, improves muscle strength, tone and endurance, and causes your body to produce human growth hormone (HGH).

5.Optimize your vitamin D levels by getting appropriate amounts of sun exposure, or by taking an oral vitamin D3 supplement

6.Limit exposure to toxins

7.Consume healthy fats such as omega-3 fat, coconut oil and pure butter

8.Eat plenty of raw food

9.Optimize your insulin and leptin levels

10.Get plenty of sleep

Remember, leading a common sense, healthy lifestyle is your best bet to produce a healthy body and mind, and increase your longevity.

Unfortunately, both the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry won't make it easy for you to avoid the garbage that ruins your health.

The drug industry spends about $15 billion a year manipulating and distorting your perceptions about the proper solutions for your health challenges. The answer is to take self-responsibility and educate yourself so that you can make better, healthier choices.

By adhering to the basic tenets of optimal health provided above, you will build a healthy mind and body, thereby safeguarding yourself against a multitude of health problems and serious diseases.

I don't understand Why....

2011-01-07T17:57:00.005-06:00

We all had the same parents
Many million years ago
Why can't we live in freedom
Without hunger, with no war?

At the beginning we all had
One mother and one father
That's where we're descending from (attention)
I don't, I don't understand why so much hate (attention)

Between races, and religions
It's mad, insane
I don't understand (amazing)
Why it has to be like that? (incredible experience)

We all had the same parents

A few thoughts for the end of this year....

2010-12-27T16:22:00.003-06:00

To be or not to be, that is the answer.

By running away from a problem, we only run into it in the future.

When the ego is strong enough, you can't see a locomotive coming at you.

Thoughts can actually dim the sun to one whose thoughts are dim.

Everyday is an opportunity to prove your mastership.

Everything we own owns us.

Earth is a classroom to which we come to learn the eternal Truth.

Never accept responsibility for another one's behavior, even if that one be closely related. Allow him to grow through his on learning.

The only method of reciving love is to give love, because what we give out must come back.

From "The Ultimate Truth" by Lester Levenson

Searching for happiness...

2010-11-28T20:46:00.005-06:00

Do not look for your happiness around.
Searching for the best method / way of life / wisdom / happiness/
is like a journey to the unknown ....

You might travel through half of the world, and finally, when you are ready to go home - you could suddenly realize you have got no money for coming back, you have lost your wallet and all the documents.... and suitcase you are carrying is not yours.

The old legend says that when the gods created the man, he seemed to be too fractious and independent for them . As a punishment, they decided to hide 'happiness' from him. One of the gods suggested that they should hide it in the bottom of the deepest ocean. Another would choose the highest mountain. Eventually they came to the conclusion that the best place to hide hapiness is man`s deep inside. They thought he would never look for it there....

The man, however, is totally unpredictible creature. There were some who have looked into themselves. And although there was a terrifying darkness, they had found the light. Men finally discovered their power, their potential - their joy and happiness.

They found out that the only limit for oneself is... oneself .

Do not look for your happiness anywhere around you, it is already ... in you.

Happiness will become still in your heart, if you only have courage to search for it.

Remember, everything you need is at your fingertips.

Update:
I received this information from my friend Jinjee - The Garden Diet

Trucker growing Sprouts & Wheatgrass in semi truck!  
 
- My story is after being an over the road truck driver for 6 years I was getting health problems. I could not get good rest or sleep. I was so tired and in pain. I could barely walk at times. The doctors wanted to put me on drugs and I refused! So I started learning about nutrition and was on a mission to heal myself! So I took out the passenger seat in my truck and put in a shelf. I started growing wheatgrass and sprouts on the road.
I have three (8 trays) Handy Pantry sprouters, eight sprout jars, three Sprout Masters and two 11x17 wheatgrass trays!
I grow 11 different kinds of sprouts that I eat in salads and on every sandwich! I grow two 11x17 trays of wheatgrass a week and get around 2 1/2 lb of wheatgrass per week! I drink 4oz of wheatgrass juice everyday!
Six months after I began, I have lost over 42 pounds, have Awesome Energy, sleep Great and I have no more pain! I can walk like a normal person again!!!
I am LOVING LIFE again!!! - Wade.....The Wheatgrass Trucker!!

Amazing talent!
Kseniya Simonowa (was born 22.04.1985) is Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent."
Kseniya is using SAND to wow people, but her work also carries a serious message.

She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and "sand painting" skills to interpret Germany's invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WW II.
The cello music song at the end is "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica.

There are no words to discribe how artistic and genius she is.

Listem to your heart.

2010-10-15T17:39:00.001-05:00

Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights - Kahlil Gibran

Listen, therefore, to your heart.

Cultivate the ability to do this.

Practice it.

Produce it.

Perfect it.

It is not that difficult. Just be quiet with yourself. And for heaven's sake, stop listening to your mind. You will not find the truth there. You may find the answer, but it will not be the truth unless it coincides with the answer in your heart.

You think there is more to know about life than this, but there is not. Your heart holds the key. Your heart holds the wisdom. Your heart holds the future. Your mind knows nothing but the past. It imagines the future will be just like yesterday, so it makes it decisions based on that. Only your heart can see beyond memory's horizon.

Peace of Mind

2010-09-28T21:00:00.006-05:00

The integration of body and mind - the state of inner peace, as it turns out ... is an important weapon in the fight against cancer

If the experience of helplessness and despair promotes cancerous growth, will a state of serenity, on the contrary, slow it dawn? Certain exceptional cases suggest this may be so.
About this exceptional case, I read in a great book by David Schreiber -
Anticancer, A New Way of Life, New Edition

In Melbourne, Australia, Ian Gawler, a young veterinarian who had just finished training , found out that he had a dangerous osteosarcoma (cancer of the bone) that had affected his leg. Amputation, followed by a year of conventional treatments, was unsuccessful in halting tumor growth. It spread to his hip and thorax, where it created visible deformities. His oncologist expected him to live no more than a few weeks, perhaps less than a month. With nothing to lose and with his wife's full support, Ian threw himself into an intensive practice of meditation. He wanted to enjoy in his remaining days the calm he had discovered practicing yoga. His physician, Dr. Meares, had been initiated into meditation in India, where he had encountered great mystics. He was particularly impressed by the calm his young patient succeeded in experiencing. He attributed it to the characteristic serenity of the dying in their final days.
But after a few weeks of this regiment, to the astonishment of all, Ian seemed to be getting better. After several months of intensive meditation (an hour, three times a day!), along with a strict diet, Ian recovered his strength. The hideous bone deformities that had marked his chest started to dissolve. A few month later, they had completely vanished. Dr. Meares asked Ian how he explained his extraordinary remission.
"I think it's our way of living, the way we experience our life," Ian answered, speaking of his wife and himself. As if, Dr. Meares explains, at every moment of his existence, this patient was filled with the peace he experienced in his intense period of meditation. Today, thirty three years later, Ian Gawler is still alive. Since his recovery, he has devoted most of his time to working with groups of cancer patients, helping them integrate meditation and other healthy habits into their lives.

Ian Gawler tells the story of his extraordinary recovery in a very beautiful book "You Can Conquer Cancer" and strictly natural diet were not the only resources he used. He also drew on a number of different natural treatments, both psychological and psychospiritual. However, he attributes his recovery principally to his inner calm.

Raw Foodist Bernando LaPallo Celebrates 109th Birthday.

MESA, Ariz. - On August 17, Bernando LaPallo turned 109 years old! This Mesa resident lives on his own, still drives and walks around just fine - it's incredible. He shares his secret in this interview.

Bernando eats primarily raw fruits, veggies and fish. Meat is a treat only once a year.
"This is my lifesaver, it keeps me alive..superfood..plus I take it everyday since 1979 - I never miss." said LaPallo.

He believes his clean lifestyle is why he's still alive.

"Well, I don't think I know that eating it's what you eat, you've heard people say you are what you eat, well you are."

Bernando reads daily, walks a mile and a half as soon as he gets up and his favorite product to use on his skin is olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil is an age old secret he's practiced for years.

His faith is his foundation and his father his role model.

At 109, he's a popular man. He consults people who are trying to change their life for the better and makes speeches around the country. He's written one book, Age Less and Live More and is working on a second. His phone never stops ringing.

"I get calls from all over..Miami, Italy..I'm on TV in South America."

I asked him if he thinks about his final days.

"I never gave dying any though. I still don't. I know I've got to die. Everybody dies." said Bernando.

So what's next for a man who's lived over a century?

He wants to open a restaurant here in the valley with raw foods on one side and healthy American food on the other. But on his birthday, he's going to take a break from his busy days and celebrate another year of life.

Bernando LaPallo's site:
http://www.agelesslivemorestore.com/

In 1906, at the tender age of five, Bernando LaPallo began to learn the secrets of long life and optimum health from his father, a Brazilian-born doctor and herbalist. He was patiently taught the importance of proper nutrition, the wisdom of movement and exercise, and the profound value of faith. It was the start of a remarkable journey- a life that has spanned 109 years without disease or any of the other afflictions so prevalent in today's aging population.
After passing along his father's wisdom to his children and grandchildren, with the same amazing results, Bernando decided that it is time to share his formula for health and longevity with the world; this book is a result of that desire.

Once upon a time... I received a nice e-mail.

2010-08-22T07:50:00.005-05:00

Isn't it a nice, funny letter?

Once upon a time...

..in a land not so far away, there lived a beeeeautiful diva named krystyna.

She loved fruits and vegetables and playing in the sun.

She spent time with people who made her smile and did her best to live a passionate, purposeful life.

Most days, she was very happy because she knew her life was good.

But some days...

...her tummy would rumble and bubble and boil inside.

She would get kinda gloomy and grumpy and frumpy and feel like life was grey and dull.

She knew she could feel better than this, but something was wrong and she wondered what she could do to do to get her sparkle back.

Then one day, she stumbled upon something that would change her life FOREVER!

Can you guess what changed my life forever?

ONE MORNING

Today, our Mother
need our love,
Our Mother of all life
Mother of all maternity ...

He has been wounded
hurt
have crossed his heart without mercy,
have soiled their holy blood ...

Today she, Pachamama,
is filled with pain
by the indifference of their children,
she cries feeling abandoned ...

Today we call in our hearts,
to say:
Beloved Mother, Mother Earth, I love you
thanks for every day of life you give us ...

Today Gaia needs our love
need that embrace,
to mend their wounds
son with tender kisses ...

For failure to do so
will be too late for everyone
because failure to do so
perhaps there is no tomorrow for many ...

Photo from my friend Mel: True meaning of resurrection of Christ

Today I would like to share one of my favorite verses from the Bible:

Isaiah 53

3. He was despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4. Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.

5. But he was pierced for our (my) transgressions,
he was crushed for our (my) iniquities;
the punishment that brought us (me) peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are (I am) healed.

Hallelujah!
Jesus is Alive!

Have a Blessed Easter!

The Man with incredible spirit and huge heart.

You probably know Sean Stephenson, because many times he appeared on TV and in newspapers. For me, Sean is a great, great man.
Sean Stephenson was born in 1979 with a condition called Osteogenesis_imperfecta,
which means his bones are very brittle. So brittle, that he crushed every one of those baby bones during his birth. Doctors told his parents he would not live 24 hours. 30 years later, at 3 feet tall, he is changing the world! He graduated college, interned at the White House, and previous year, he wrote a book called "Get off your BUT".
I read his book and I can tell you - the book is a Must!

This book shows how to move beyond our limitations and begin to experience and share our gifts at the highest level.
Get off Your "But" offers a practical guide for putting fear behind you and building the inner resources to become self-confident at world and at home.
Really great book!
Sean is a motivation, internationally known speaker, a psychotherapist.
He publishes the international men's online magazine InnerGameMagazine.com and has a private psychotherapy practice.
Wow!

Sean has a great sense of humor. Look:

Sean is very friendly and lovely man. He likes to help people and share his wisdom with others.
He is blogging!!!

"It's silly to worry about what others might be saying and thinking about you. Whatever they're saying, it's not really about you - it's about them*. In fact, what people say or think about you is direct reflection of what they may be feeling about themselves. Don't even think about it. If you want something to concentrate on, concentrate on treating yourself with more respect" - Sean Stephenson.

Convey a positive message

“A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks” - Charles Gordy

Conversing with others when you’re happy can afford you a unique opportunity to share your good mood. When you speak, your words and body language convey a positive message understood by the head and the heart. Simple, everyday communication then becomes a conduit for gladness when you feel joyful, giving you the ability to brighten peoples’ moods and lift their spirits. A lighthearted chat can have a profoundly cheerful effect on its participants—and that feeling of joy will be magnified because now there is more than one person feeling good.

When you speak with others today, you may find that they respond to your good mood by becoming uplifted too.

In my frustration, I have found the humor in it all. God has a great sense of humor and I, his ready student, am ready to listen!

DailyOM: Learning to Live

It is not necessarily a pleasant experience, but there will be time in our lives when we come accross people who do not like us. As we know, like attracts like, so usually when these individuals do not like us, it is because they are not like us. Rather than taking it personally, we can left them be who they are, accepting that each of us is allowed to have different perspectives and opinions. When we give others that freedom, we claim it for ourself as well, releasing ourselves from the need for their approval so we can devote our energy toward more rewarding pursuits.
While approval from others is a nice feeling, when we come to depend on it, we may lose our way on our own path. There are those who will not like us no matter what we do, but that does not mean that there is nothing wrong with us. We each have our own filters built from our experiences over time. Others may see in ous something that is merely a projection of their mind-set, but we have no control over such interpretations. The best we can do is to hope that the role we play in the script of their lives is helpful to them, and then follow our own inner guidance with integrity.
As we reap the benefits of walking our perfect paths, we grow to appreciate the feeling of fully being ourselfves. The need to have everyone like us will be replaced by the exhilaration of discovering that we are attracting likeminded individuals into our lives - people who like us because they understand and appreciate the truth of who we are. We free ourself from trying to twist into shapes that will fit the spaces provided by other's limited understanding and gain a new sense of freedom, which allows us to expand into becoming exactly who we are meant to be. And in doing what we know to be right for us, we show others that they can do it, too. Co-creating our lives with the universe and its energy of pure potential, we transcend limitations and empower ourself to shine our unique light, fully and freely.

Cell Phone & Alzheimer's Disease

2010-02-22T14:03:00.008-06:00

Cell Phone Exposure May Protect Against and Reverse Alzheimer's Disease
ScienceDaily (Jan. 7, 2010)
The millions of people who spend hours every day on a cell phone may have a new excuse for yakking. A surprising new study in mice provides the first evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves associated with cell phone use may actually protect against, and even reverse, Alzheimer's disease. The study, led by University of South Florida researchers at the Florida Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), was published January 6 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

"It surprised us to find that cell phone exposure, begun in early adulthood, protects the memory of mice otherwise destined to develop Alzheimer's symptoms," said lead author Gary Arendash, PhD, USF Research Professor at the Florida ADRC. "It was even more astonishing that the electromagnetic waves generated by cell phones actually reversed memory impairment in old Alzheimer's mice."
The researchers showed that exposing old Alzheimer's mice to electromagnetic waves generated by cell phones erased brain deposits of the harmful protein beta-amyloid, in addition to preventing the protein's build-up in younger Alzheimer's mice. The sticky brain plaques formed by the abnormal accumulation of beta amyloid are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Most treatments against Alzheimer's try to target beta-amyloid.
The highly-controlled study allowed researchers to isolate the effects of cell phone exposure on memory from other lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise. It involved 96 mice, most of which were genetically altered to develop beta-amyloid plaques and memory problems mimicking Alzheimer's disease as they aged. Some mice were non-demented, without any genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's, so researchers could test the effects of electromagnetic waves on normal memory as well.
Both the Alzheimer's and normal mice were exposed to the electromagnetic field generated by standard cell phone use for two 1-hour periods each day for seven to nine months. The mice didn't wear tiny headsets or have scientists holding cell phones up to their ears; instead, their cages were arranged around a centrally-located antenna generating the cell phone signal. Each animal was housed the same distance from the antenna and exposed to electromagnetic waves typically emitted by a cell phone pressed up against a human head.
If cell phone exposure was started when the genetically-programmed mice were young adults -- before signs of memory impairment were apparent - their cognitive ability was protected. In fact, the Alzheimer's mice performed as well on tests measuring memory and thinking skills as aged mice without dementia. If older Alzheimer's mice already exhibiting memory problems were exposed to the electromagnetic waves, their memory impairment disappeared. Months of cell phone exposure even boosted the memories of normal mice to above-normal levels. The memory benefits of cell phone exposure took months to show up, suggesting that a similar effect in humans would take years if cell phone-level electromagnetic exposure was provided.
Based on their promising and unexpected findings in mice, the researchers concluded that electromagnetic field exposure could be an effective, non-invasive and drug-free way to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease in humans. They are currently evaluating whether different sets of electromagnetic frequencies and strengths will produce more rapid and even greater cognitive benefits than those found in their current study.

"If we can determine the best set of electromagnetic parameters to effectively prevent beta-amyloid aggregation and remove pre-existing beta amyloid deposits from the brain, this technology could be quickly translated to human benefit against AD" said USF's Chuanhai Cao, PhD, the other major study author. "Since production and aggregation of β-amyloid occurs in traumatic brain injury, particularly in soldiers during war, the therapeutic impact of our findings may extend beyond Alzheimer's disease."
The memory test used to evaluate the effects of cell phone exposure in mice was closely designed from a sensitive test used to determine if Alzheimer's disease, or its very early signs (mild cognitive impairment), are present in humans. "Since we selected electromagnetic parameters that were identical to human cell phone use and tested mice in a task closely analogous to a human memory test, we believe our findings could have considerable relevance to humans," Arendash said.
The researchers found a slight increase in brain temperature during the two one-hour periods when mice were exposed to electromagnetic waves each day. This increase in brain temperature was seen only in the Alzheimer's mice, and only after months of exposure. The researchers suggest the increase in brain temperature helped the Alzheimer's brain to remove newly-formed beta-amyloid by causing brain cells to release it.
The researchers were particularly surprised to discover that months of cell phone exposure actually boosted the memory of non-demented (normal mice) to above-normal levels. They suspect that the main reason for this improvement involves the ability of electromagnetic exposure to increase brain activity, promoting greater blood flow and increased energy metabolism in the brain. "Our study provides evidence that long-term cell phone use is not harmful to brain," Dr. Cao said. "To the contrary, the electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones could actually improve normal memory and be an effective therapy against memory impairment."
"It will take some time to determine the exact mechanisms involved in these beneficial memory effects," Arendash said. "One thing is clear, however -- the cognitive benefits of long-term electromagnetic exposure are real, because we saw them in both protection- and treatment-based experiments involving Alzheimer's mice, as well as in normal mice."
Previous human studies of electromagnetic waves from cell phones involved only brief exposures given to normal humans. While some studies reported small improvements in attention or memory (not enough to impact daily life), others reported no memory effects from short-term exposure. The new study by Arendash, Cao, and their colleagues is the first to investigate the effects of long-term electromagnetic exposure over many months on memory function in either humans or animals. The findings indicate that "long-term" exposure to cell phone level electromagnetic waves is needed to observe enhanced memory in normal or memory-impaired mice.
The USF researchers began investigating the effects of cell phone use on Alzheimer's disease several years ago, after several observational studies in humans linked a possible increased risk of Alzheimer's with "low-frequency" electromagnetic exposure -- like the energy waves generated by power and telephone lines. However, cell phones emit "high-frequency" electromagnetic waves, which are very different because they can have beneficial effects on brain cell function, such as increasing brain cell activity, Arendash said.
There has been recent controversy about whether electromagnetic waves from cell phones cause brain cancer. Some researchers argue that the risk of glioma (40 percent of all brain tumors) doubles after 10 or more years of cell phone use. However, others argue that since the overall lifetime risk of developing a brain tumor of any type is less than 1 percent, any doubling of this risk would still be very low. Groups such as the World Health Organization, the American Cancer Society, and the National Institutes of Health, have all concluded that scientific evidence to date does not support any adverse health effects associated with the use of cell phones. Consistent with the view of these organizations, the researchers found no autopsy evidence of abnormal growth in brains of the Alzheimer's mice following many months of exposure to cell phone-level electromagnetic waves. They also found all major peripheral organs, such as the liver and lungs, to be normal.

The Formula for Health, Youthfulness and Happiness/Lecture by Paul Nison/

2010-01-20T19:11:00.009-06:00

I named this post "The Formula for Health, Youthfulness and Happiness", because as Paul Nison said - "Health is more than diet alone /man do not live by bread alone /. It does'nt matter how good is your diet if you do not take into consideration the other components of health, you will not be as healthy and happy as you could be. Along with nutrition, becoming more aware of our emiotions and spiritual feelings can truly take our health to another level. It is not just about eating. But the main subject is healthy eating - because on this subject most people are deceived."

Paul stresses that you do not have to be on a 100% raw diet. For example, if you eat 70-80% raw and the rest good quality cooked food..........This is OK.

Prepare yourself for a fantastic lecture lead by the great, full of sense of humor man, Paul Nison, who will reveal the secrets of health.

Incidentally - this type of participation in lectures usually costs a lot. We have it here ... for free.

This video /9 episodes / is really interesting, humorous, and the benefits of this knowledge everyone can see for yourself.

"Knowledge is power, allows us to find our own way."

I encourage you to watch these lectures and to make positive adjustments to your health, youth and personal happiness and your family.
I know it requires some time. But... isn't your and your family health the most valuable?

"Practice makes the Master."

"I believe my colling in life is to help people realize that avoiding and overcoming disease is not difficult. It can be simple and even fun" - Paul Nison,
from my favorite book - "Raw Food - Formula for Health"
***
I'll tell you why I prefer the raw food. Raw food for me is the tastiest, healthiest and most beautiful. My dream is to eat 100% raw food, but I also like cooked food yet, (believe me, Polish food is really delicious). I can say that I'm about 70% raw food. I like days when I eat 100% raw. In those days I feel the best.
If I ate in the traditional way, today my health would be in ruins. That I am 100% sure! Now I feel 300% better and healthier than 20-30 years ago. So I encourage everyone to take care of your health as you can preferably. You deserve the best. Remember, the best doctor for you is... YOU!
You decide how to choose your best lifestyle... both - physical and spiritual.
I believe that Nutrition is also vital for spiritual development.

May this lecture will help you reach your goals of health and wellness!

Dear Kevin,
(The most handsome boy in the whole wide universe)

No, not because your are naughty
No, not because you are bad
So happen the unbehaved cells make you sick
Something unlucky you just have
To mum and dad, please don't worry
To Krystyna, you have to be brave
Things like this just happens
There is always a way
There shall be the grand scheme
To destroy these unbehaved cells
You will be given strong medications
Until the unbehaved cells really yell
These meds will make you feel tired
They will make your mouth feel raw
Your hair may cover the pillow
And leave your head quite bald
Nobody will think you are different
Nobody will think you have changed
Just that everybody will get used to be
For this temporary rearranged
There's more about this cancer
Something else that it can't do
It can't destroy your laughter
Or change you through and through
You will be better than ever
The unbehaved cells shall go away
Your hair will grow back
You will feel great every each day
Ameen

by AZER (he is not a poet)

As I already mentioned, Kevin has a fantastic sense of humor. He likes to pose for the camera. He likes to make all around him laugh. Loved when all are cheerful. He began to learn to play the piano ... and as you can see ...he is trying to be funny.

Thanks my friends!

"Yes, there was one girl once. I guess she was the one perfect girl, the only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the right everything. I really mean that she was the perfect girl for me."

Be Happy Without Being Perfect: How to Worry Less and Enjoy Life More

How to eat fruit...

2009-11-29T16:22:00.009-06:00

Look who took my place today. 2 years old Kyle, Kevin's brother.

One of the fastest, easiest ways to replenish vitamins, minerals, and enzymes and undo the damage caused by poor eating habits is to drink the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Fruit is the most important food we can put into the human body. It is the one food that the human species is biologically adapted to.

But... in the broad subject of health there is surely no area that has been more misunderstood, more unjustly malignet, or more abused than the consumption of food. Simply we don't know how to eat fruit.

FRUIT SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN WITH OR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ANYTHING! It is essential that when we eat fruit, it is eaten on an EMPTY stomach. If fruit is eaten on top of other food, many problems result.

Perhaps after a meal you have had a piece of fruit or a glass of juice, and you noticed a sharp pain in your stomach, or indigestion or heartburn. You think "I love fruit, but fruit doesn't love me. I can't eat it. Every time I eat fruit, I burp it up all night".

What happened?

In fact, on an empty stomach, fruit or fresh juice can be absorbed into the bloodstream and start renewing our energy within 15-30 minutes. I suggest wait 30 minutes before you start to eat your food.
Juices are assimilated completely 30 minutes after consumption, while even vegetable-based solid meals need one hour or more for digestion. So drinking juices provides relief for our digestive system and allows time for repairing and cleansing of all systems and organs with a minimal use of our body's energy.

However, many people are concerned about chemicals used in the growing and storing of fruits and vegetables.
I'd like to tell you, that when we use a juicer almost any chemicals that were used in the growing and storing of our fruits and vegetables get trapped in the pulp. The juice contains only structured water with dissolved vitamins, microelements, and easy absorbable minerals salts. We can put a filter, a double filter would be even better ( I use bigger tea strainer) on the opening of our juicer's tank to eliminate as many harmful chemicals as possible.
We should drink juices in small sips (remember 30 minutes before a meal) and hold each sip in the mouth for a few seconds. Enzymes present in our saliva digest carbohydrates contained in juices. If we drink fast, the juices get directly to our stomach and undergo fermentation.
Remember - saliva is very important...

Structured water is most beneficial to our health. We can get it from fruits and vegetables, their juices, and from melted ice. - Mikhail Tombak, Ph.D

Poetry of the soul

"You may tie my hands with chains and my feet with shackles, and put me in the dark prison, but you shall not enslave my thinking, for it is free, like the breeze in the spacious sky"- Khalil Gibran
Khalil Gibran ... poet, philosopher, painter. Author of the beautest literary work "The Prophet".
***

Khalil Gibran, my favorite poet, philosopher, painter, sculptor wrote in his short life, nearly thirty books. "The Prophet" is his first book. When he wrote the Prophet he was very young (21 years old). However, none of his beautiful books is so beautiful. Prophet is a masterpiece in the literature.
Gibran's desire was to make a little better this world, to cheer us, to convince us that there is a better way of life. And everyone can find it for yourself.
Prophet is a book which can not be read and forget. Wisdom contained in it is useful in our life many times. Its passages are quoted at weddings, birthdays, funerals and many other occasions, as the hero of the book, Almustafa sage, speaks about:
Marriage, The Children, Love, Friendship and Death.
***
Marriage

Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"
And he answered saying:
You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.
Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
***

The life is about your soul...

"The life is about your soul, not about your body and
not about your mind". -
Neale Donald Walsch, author of
Conversations with God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1)

Most people work hard to keep the body happy.
Then they seek to stimulate their mind.
Then...if there is time...
they look after their soul.

Yet the most beneficial priority
has it just the other way around.

When was the last time you paid attention to your soul?

Flu Alert

2009-10-24T17:53:00.010-05:00

I know we’re all anxious about swine flu this season, but the truth is that for most people, the flu–no matter what type of flu it is–doesn’t pose a serious danger. Colds and flu normally cause what doctors like to refer to as “self-limited” illness–this means you feel sick but eventually get better on your own. Typically there’s really no point in calling the doctor, because antibiotics don’t work on flu since it’s caused by a virus. Anti-viral medications, such as Tamiflu, aren’t usually necessary to recover.
In some cases, though, the flu develops into something more dangerous, such as pneumonia or other complications.

Apples and mithology

Idun and the Apples (1890) by J. Doyle Penrose.

*****
In Norse mythology, Iðunn (also Idun, Iduna, Idunn) was the goddess of youth, fertility and death. She was the wife of Bragi, god of poetry. Idun was the keeper of the apples which kept the youthful gods forever that way. Her name means "eternal youthfulness", "ever young" or "rejuvenator" or "the rejuvenating one".

Inspiring story

Life is like a cup of coffee

A group of alumni, all highly established in their respective careers, got together for a visit with their old university professor. The conversation soon turned to complaints about the endless stress of work and life in general...

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and soon returned with a large pot of coffee and an eclectic assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal - some plain, some expensive, some quite exquisite. Quietly he told them to help themselves to some fresh coffee..

When each of his former students had a cup of coffee in hand, the old professor quietly cleared his throat and began to patiently address the small gathering... ''You may have noticed that all of the nicer looking cups were taken up first, leaving behind the plainer and cheaper ones. While it is only natural for you to want only the best for yourselves that is actually the source of much of your stress-related problems."

He continued...''Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In fact, the cup merely disguises or dresses up what we drink. What each of you really wanted was coffee, not a cup, but you instinctively went for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each other's cups....''

''Now consider this: Life is coffee. Jobs, money, and position in society are merely cups. They are just tools to shape and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not truly define nor change the quality of the Life we live. Often, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has provided us... God brews the coffee, but He does not supply the cups. Enjoy your coffee!''

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything...

So please remember:

Live Simply.
Love Generously.
Care Deeply.
Speak Kindly.
Leave the Rest to GOD.

And remember - the richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Enjoy your life !

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around
And so she changes her gown
But they always look in their prime
They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return to sing
Oh, what a gift they give
Then autumn days grow short and cold
Oh, what a joy to live

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme
How very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

Magical place.... This summer I really enjoyed my outdoor time.
Look what I discovered... it is not far from my house. A beautiful small wild place. Nobody touched it. There are trees, weeds, flowers, just as nature created them. A true oasis of wild greens, calm and really fresh, fragrant air.
I love Wild Nature.

We are surrounded by beauty of Nature. Everything is sacred, if we see it. Next time you find yourself in the presence of wildlife, wild nature — even if it’s just a duck pond in the midst of urban hustle — try to move into a receptive state of openness and listening, no matter how much or how little time you have. Allow yourself to be captivated and calmed by the energy of the Wild Nature that covers this earth.

How very special are we...

Bye Summer.... I will miss you...

Dance Me to the End of Love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

The Science of Lullabies

2009-09-16T18:59:00.004-05:00

In 1962, Dr.Lee Salk demonstrated that the fetus is aware of the mother's heartbeat. Today embryologists agree that the ear is the first organ to develop in embryo, that it becomes functional after only eighteen weeks, and that it listens actively from twenty four weeks on. In The Secret Life of the Unborn Child, Dr. Thomas Verny tells the story of Boris Brott, conductor of the Himilton Philharmonic Orchestra in Ontario. Over the years, Brott was puzzled at how he could play some music by ear, while he had to labor to master most pieces. He later learned from his mother that she had played the selections that came to him effortlessly while pregnant. In his book, Verny also cites recent scientific experiments showing that fetuses preferred Mozart and Vivaldi to other composers in early as well as later stages of pregnancy. Fetal heart rates invariably steadied and kicking declined, while other music, especially rock, "drove most fetuses to distraction", and they "kicked violently" when it was played to their pregnant mothers.
The evidence is mounting that babies - before and after they are born - are as responsive to music as the most avid concertgoers. In a study in the mid-1980s, psychologists at the Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco found that playing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" - a tune that inspired Mozart to create a set of variations - and "Hickory, Dickory, Dock" on a Sony Walkman helped hospitalized babies keep from kicking and yowling. And Philips Records recently released an album, Mozart of Mothers-to-Be, citing pre- and postnatal studies showing that mothers, as well as babies, respond positively to this music.
(According to legend, Mozart held the hand of his wife, Constanza, during the delivery of one of their children while humming and composing with the other).

Speaking, reading, and singing to baby before birth enhances its ability to distinguish among sounds after birth. This is known as "auditory tracking". Although that may sound like science fiction, the fetus really does begin to hear sounds from the outside world between the third and fourth months of development. Years later, childrean have been known to recognize songs, lullabies, and even classical music that had been played to them while they were still *in utero.
Here are several suggestions.
Read to your baby in the womb, and have your partner do the same. Classics like *The Little Prince and *Winnie the Pooh are recommended. It's better not to read stories with scary images; your child will have plenty of experience with them after he or she has been born.
Make up songs with lyrics like "Hello, baby, this is dad. We'll be welcoming you soon", or "Hello, baby, this is mom, loving you with song". Don't be self-conscious; it will be quite a few more years before your child has the capacity to be judgmental.
After birth, repeat these same songs and stories from time to time to calm the child and reinforce his or her listening ability and neural development.

Don Campbell, the world's foremost educator on the connection between music and healing is the author of remarkable book -
The Mozart Effect: Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlock the Creative Spirit

Read this book, you may never hear music the same way again.

Is it true that music has an impact on an unborn child?
Is it true or not that the fetus hears sounds in the womb?

Perhaps the best suggestion is to simply relax and enjoy music the way you normally do - and chances are your baby will relax along with you.
It is well documented that music is good for everybody -
physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Have you ever noticed how your body and mind work better on some days than on others? How one day things come easy to you, but on other days those same things require much more effort? These "off" days have a variety of causes. For example, if your body is stiff or tense, or if you're constipated or suffering from indigestion, your mind will also be disturbed. On the other hand, if your mind is disturbed because you're stressed out or emotionally upset, you may also feel lousy physically.

Yoga helps counteract both the physical and mental factors that give you "off" days. Asanas reduce tension and relieve common problems like constipation and indigestion. They also boost circulation, which energizes both body and mind. Yoga meditation calms the mind, enabling you to let go of worry. Regular practice will definitely reduce the number of "off" days you experience.

So if you're feeling down and out, turn your "off" day into an "on" day by getting into some yoga.

Becoming Younger...

2009-07-20T19:28:00.004-05:00

Youthfulness in man and woman is determined mainly by the fluidity of its vitality. Vitality must flow constantly and freely through the entire system. This vitality is dependent on the purity and fluidity of the blood stream and the lymph in their very nature hinges on the quality of the water in the body.
Water that is not constantly replenished becomes stagnant and polluted. In the body, such stagnantion results in sickness and disease and is manifested as body odor, or a pale, sallow or ashen complexion.
This means premature aging.
Our Creator very evidently knew how much trouble He would have with us in our efforts to avoid Becoming Younger. He made our body, and particularly the most vital and important parts of our body so elastic, that we could continue to live or to exist, for a while at least, in spite of ourselves.
Consider the kidneys as just one example. They are a truly miraculous filtering apparatus. They consist of more than 30 billion cells. These cells are grouped into clusters of filter coils... .
What a wonderful and delicate organ we have which protects us day and night, as long as we live, from our careless appetites and habits.
All drugs and alcoholic beverage are exceedingly harmful to the kidney, irrespective of the temporary benefits which may be derived by and other part of the body.
Beer is probably the most destructive liquid which we can put into our system.
In the United States (probably not only), where breweries are on a rampage with their beer advertisements to lure the informed and the gullible, kidney ailments are increasing daily.
It is only because of the tremendous of cells in the kidneys, and their miraculous efficiency, that so many people are able to struggle through a few score years of life, in spite of the destructive liquids which they pour into their system.
The abundant use of Fresh Vegetable and Fruit Juices furnish the body with the very finest quality of organic water obtainable. If we drink enough of these juices, we need hardly ever drink any water.
Fresh-raw fruit and vegetable juices help wonderfully to flush the body, stimulate the peristalsis of the intestines, nurish and rejuvenate our body.
Our Creator gave us food both as nourishment and as medicine.
Everybody wants to Become Younger, but not everybody wants to do more than wishful thinking about it. If we want to Become Younger and Healthier, we must DO something about it.

My favorite summer juices are: the watermelon juice and green juice. Delicious, full of vitamins and healthy!

It's summertime and I need a little break.
See you in September!

I'll be thinking of You!

Enjoy every minute of summer!

What Nourish our Body and Spirit.

2009-07-08T16:02:00.002-05:00

The reason we eat is to nourish our body and spirit.

Nature Always Right, Cooks Never: Why Eat Raw?

It seems pathetic that we aspire to create a new product as “natural” as possible but destroy the very natural ingredients in the process. New packaged products appear on the market every day. Each time you try one of these new products, you are foregoing the old-fashioned fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. As a result, you will not get enough nutrients from your meal.

Researchers are excited whenever they discover new benefits in produce of particular colors. The bright vibrant colors of fresh produce, such as the deep green of leafy vegetables, the lilac of blueberries, or the red of strawberries are a sign that this produce is packed with antioxidants, called polyphenols.

The brighter the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more nutrient combatants it has to prevent degenerative diseases. Now picture what happens to the original rainbow of colors after cooking. The colors fade like old laundry. How can it not be more obvious to us: by tampering with natural products, we are losing something essential for our health and beauty.

There is a scarcity of nourishment, but not of meals. In this country, we face unprecedented temptations. America is preoccupied with eating like no other country in the world. By giving in to the skillful seductions of the advertisers to try “new food," our bodies are starving while we constantly chew and swallow. Ironically, the variety and affordability of foodstuffs leads us to become overfed and at the same time undernourished. The best way to resist these temptations is to develop an attitude towards cooked food in general and adopt the raw food lifestyle.

Mark Twain wrote: “To eat is human, to digest divine.” We need enzymes to digest food. Our living body also needs enzymes for every other operation and chemical reaction to take place. Enzymes constitute the difference between life and death. Only living organisms can produce enzymes, but their capacity to make enzymes is limited and exhaustible.
Our body hosts two types of enzymes: metabolic enzymes, which run our bodies, and digestive enzymes, which participate in digesting our food. Only raw and living foods follow nature’s design and come with their own food enzymes to aid digestion. They are responsible for the release of nutrients out of the foods we eat.
Dr. Edward Howell writes in his remarkable book Enzyme Nutrition that heat over 118° F kills enzymes. If food is cooked, it does not carry enzymes, and the body is forced to use up its own digestive enzymes.
Only living organisms, be it a human being, an animal, or a plant, possess enzymes. No one would ever argue that a dead person is the same as a living one just because the chemical composition of the body is the same. And yet we never think twice about allegations that cooked food is as good as raw food or better. The plant world possesses integrity and the “life factor.” From an enzymatic approach, a picked up fruit or a cut off green is still alive, even though its own source of nourishment has been cut off. Seeds and nuts will reproduce if put into the soil, fruits will continue to ripen even after they have been picked from the tree, a vegetable--be it a carrot, onion, or potato--when put into the ground will sprout.
Enzymes are combinations of proteins, vitamins, and minerals in an active molecular form. Chemists are able to synthesize some of these nutrients, but they have not been able to “breathe life” into them. The “life factor” has never been and probably never will be re-created.
Enzymes are very particular. They cannot tolerate heat, microwave irradiation, or pasteurization. Cooking always removes or spoils the goodness of food. Cooked food points down to the grave, because it is dead. Only humans apply heat to what they eat. Presently, humans apply heat to most of their food prior to consumption. Humans on average as a race, die at or below half their potential life span of chronic illness that is largely diet and lifestyle related. “You won't be surprised that diseases are innumerable--count the cooks.” - Seneca (4 BC-AD 65), Epistles
Cooking is the most profound abuse of food. Cookbooks are full of recipes on how to smother the life out of a meal. The more creative they are in doing so, the more honor we attribute to the cooks. The concept of great cuisine is based on the opinion that plain fruits or vegetables are not appealing to the eye or satisfying to our taste.
Natural food is seen as an enemy. The less the dish reminds one of the original ingredients, the prouder the cooks become. Raw produce is treated not like the divine food but as something to be mutilated and manipulated. It is even called “from scratch,” as if it is a second-class product needing an upgrade. And yet, man is not capable of producing even a simple meal without using the basic ingredients he did not make. The talent of the cook should be applied elsewhere, because the basic fruits and vegetables he begins with are nutritionally superior to the most sophisticated creations he ends up with.
Traditional cooking alters the taste buds into being incapable of appreciating the flavor and taste of raw fruits and vegetables. We become more concerned with pleasing our perverted palate and satisfying our coarse sensation than with providing nourishment to our body.
By cooking our food, we are killing nutrients that keep us alive and healthy. After we grill or roast, bake or boil, sauté or stew, we produce some decadent matter with no nutritional value and only by using salt or sugar abundantly can we get it to pass our taste buds. All cooks rely on salt, sugar, and spices to have their creations appreciated. Cooking without spices smells awful. Not surprisingly, spices were originally used to disguise decaying and decomposing food.

How delicious is a fresh apple! But we put it in an oven and it becomes a squashy, mushy, shriveled mass requiring a load of sugar so one can eat it. In cooking, the original colors of fruits and vegetables are dulled and the initial variety of flavors is altered. Make no mistake, the nutritional value is gone as well.

It is ironic, but not incidental, that fresh produce is used for decoration of this bland and dead food. We decorate this lifeless, tasteless, and shapeless mess with fresh green leaves and brightly colored veggies to deceive our eyes. We add spices to disguise the smell. We load it with sugar and salt to cheat our taste buds.
Nowadays, health-conscious people know processed food is devoid of nutrients and try their best to avoid it. But somehow, home cooking escapes the stigma of “processed.” Cooking is processing! And the difference between home cooking and manufactured foodstuffs is the same difference as between “dead” and “very dead.” We hear everywhere the less food is processed, the better. Why process it at all?
Most Americans do not eat the 5-9 recommended servings of fruit and vegetables each and every day. And if you haven’t heard yet…in January 2005 these government recommended allotments have been increased to 9-13 serving. Between the lines government is telling us in order to be healthy we need to go on the raw food diet. Since if you eat 13 servings of fresh fruit and vegetables per day you will not need or want anything else.

Has someone you know and loved died recently? Celebrate that person's Continuation Day! They have moved in Consciousness and Beingness to a place of wonderful renewal and remembering, where all that we have "forgotten" here is once more understood and experienced. It is a time of great happiness.
And know, too, that you will be seeing that beloved person again, and you will laugh and dance and sing and hug and smile and talk endlessly about "the good old days," and you will share an even larger kind of love than you could ever know upon the Earth, and all of both of your lives will suddenly make sense as you see how you shaped an important part of each other's Journey. And it will be a Blessing, this enhanced awareness, and you will abide in peace and joy.

You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

Rest in Peace Michael!

Children need a Daddy

"Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad." -
Author Unknown

Give Dad exactly what he wants for Father's Day. Gift card is the best gift.

And - Don't let Father's Day pass by without
letting him know how special he is to you.

Tell him how much you appreciate all he’s done for you.

Father's Day is 21 June in USA.
When is Father's Day around the world look
here

Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.

Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They'll always find him there.

I was very happy to see my blogger friend Madhuram's vebsite as "Website of the day!" ... on Fox News:

MyFoxHouston - There's a lot of debate as to whether eggs are good or bad for you, but if you're looking to cut back either way - here's a Website of the Day for you.
The creator of EgglessCooking.com says she had to learn to cook without them after her husband adopted a picky diet.
On the homepage of the website you'll always get the latest dose of decliious egg-free recipes - including extra fudgy brownies and almond butter cookies. You can also use the site's search function to find specific recipes.

Breakfast for the soul & body

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities
that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you…
May you be content knowing you are a child of God…
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

A love story...

2009-04-28T20:04:00.004-05:00

"Come live with me and be my loveand
we will some new pleasures prove,
of golden sands and crystal brooks,
with silken lines and silver hooks." - John Donne

Springtime Art Poster Print by Pierre-Auguste Cot, 24x36

Somebody sent me this story, and I'd like to share it with you.

A love story about SALTY COFFEE

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter: would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby?

He replied: when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there.

While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart.

A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home.

Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.

That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.. Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee?

It's sweet. She replied.
*****
Love is
not to forget but to forgive,
not to see but to understand,
not to hear but to listen,
not to let go but to HOLD ON !!!!

Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.

Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.

Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, ...that's her.

Hug a Tree

2009-04-21T05:20:00.001-05:00

The more we become one with nature, the more it offers us.
Come hug a tree with me. Find the perfect tree that fits your mood. You will know which one is right for you. Hugging a tree is good. The strengh of wood is a comfort in its solidnes, and we feel supported when we lean against it. The leaves sing to us on a breeze, reminding us that we are loved.
Look for signs and message in the great outdoors, the symbolism of leaves falling in your path, and the pattern of birds in flight.
Our soul feel good when we experience a oneness with natural world, which encourages us to appreciate and respect all life.

HOLDING A TREE

When holding a tree,
I am simply entranced
I return to the protoform of my being.
My cells are renewed,
My energy recharged.

My tree- — my sister, my love, my oxygen
People think me crazy holding a tree.
Deep down they envy me.
I am so rooted kissing the bark.
They are so alienated avoiding it.

When I am one with a tree
The great energy of the Cosmos
Is pulsating through me
What a delight!

— Henryk Skolimowski

Trust in God

2009-03-22T19:16:00.006-06:00

Trust in God is essential part of being completely well.
The proper diet is absolutely critical for recovery from every disease, but it is only one, very important part of many others.

Trust in God, spend time with Him every day, so you can get to know Him as your friend. Then you can trust Him with your life.
God is the healer. He is the only one who knows exactly what is wrong with you and exactly how to make you well.
Trust in God. He will give you the strength and courage.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". - Phil.4:13

Power of Knowledge

2009-01-30T07:44:00.006-06:00

Kevin & Kyle play for you.

Knowledge is power. It helps us to find our way.

For a month, I've been recommending the greatest book I read about healing, knowledge, hope, healthy life style... and much more. After reading all information, this therapy has the longest and best track record.
Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

I bought "Healing the Gerson Way" in English version and in Polish version and I never regreted it.
It is the best written book and very readable. Most importantly, Healing the Gerson Way is about healing chronic diseases other than cancer, including many that are supposedly "hopeless".
You can find there explanations on the therapy as it instructs on exactly how to do it yourself.

Knowledge helps us to find our way to be healthy.

Sometimes we think that our knowledge is adequate.

Here is a professor's of medicine story:

In 1992, Y.H., a Japanese professor of medicine, found himself unable to have a bowel movement. Surgery, combined with liver biopsy, disclosed colon malignancy, wich had already spread to the liver. Professor Y.H. agreed to four mild chemotherapy treatments, but these resulted in the growth of the liver metastases. The patient abandoned the chemotherapy and embarked on the Gerson Therapy, following the directions in Dr. Gerson's book.
Fourteen years later, he is fully recovered, with a clean liver, and has successfully treated many cancer patients with the same method.
He described his experience in his book (only available in Japanese) and has trained a few of his colleagues in the Gerson Therapy.
At present, he is following up some 500 cancer cases, which have shown positive responses to the Gerson protocol he now uses.

Part of book "Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases",

chapter 27,

page 302 - Case Histories of recovered Patients.

It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows - Epictetus

Knowledge is power. But mind what you read. Open-minded people keen to learn new things read as many health books as they can find and end up confused. The chances are that if you read 10 health books, you are likely to get 12 different opinions. Please mind what you read

and make the right choice. Listening to your body and Your intuition is important too.

Knowledge is of two kinds: we know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it - Samuel Johnson

We are Nature beings... Thoughts for body and soul

The only way a rich man can be healthy is by exercise and abstinence - living like a poor man.- Sir William Temple

Fear less, hope more,
eat less, chew more,
whine less, breathe more,
talk less, say more,
love more, and all good things will be yours. -
(Swedish Proverb)

Beyond human beings, we are nature beings, created from the same source as animals, plants...even rocks.
We connect with nature on a spiritual level. The earth calls for us to connect so that we can feel balanced and whole - a part of the universe.
The more we become one with nature, the more it offers us.

“Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.”' - Vincent Van Gogh.

Our soul feels good when we experience oneness with natural world, which encourages us to appreciate and respect all life

I love Nature and I love the silence. Time spent in the silence is yet another opportunity to deepen my understanding of Spirit. There is so much for me to learn in life, and I am open and receptive to the lessons I am offered.

"Teach me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."--Psalm 143:8

"We are parts of nature, having evolved over millennia alongside other forms of life, so that our organisms can only trive on natural nurture, clean air, pure water and a toxin-free environment "- from book Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases. This book can be the most precious tool to maintain and improve your health if you are fit and well or to regain it if you are ill.

There it is a winter and cold outside, but walk to the park and look how beautiful winter is also. How kids like to play and enjoye snow and ice.

Carrot juice - Miracle Juice!

Healthy choice for New Year!

Carrot juice
I cannot imagine my day without carrot juice. It is not only tasty but first of all very healthy.
Carrot juice, because of its many healthful benefits, is frequently called a the "miracle juice."
Carrot juice contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B12, PP, K, E and others. Its mineral content is equally rich, and includes calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur, and iron.
Drinking carrot juice provides relief for our digestive system and allows time for repairing and cleansing of all systems and organs with minimal use of our body's energy. It improves the condition of our teeth, hair and nails; removes the ulcerations of our stomach and duodenum; strengthens our immune system against present and future infections; positively affects our eyes and throat.
Many disorders of the liver and digestive system are caused by deficiency of certain elements that can be acquired from carrot juice. Various skin allergies, eczemas, rashes, and lymphatic system disorders disappear if you regularly drink fresh carrot juice.
If we have many toxic deposits in our body, our skin can turn yellow. It is normal phenomenon and the skin will go back to its natural color once all toxic substances are discarded. In some cases, the process might take 6-12 month.
One glass of carrot juice contains the entire recommended daily intake of all vitamins and microelements. This way the immune system is able to fight even the most dangerous diseases.
Some people are skeptical about the effectiveness of carrot juice therapy because it sounds too simple for them.
"Everything that is brilliant is simple" - Einstein.

Generally I like to drink:

*1 glass of carrot juice
and
*1-2 glasses carrots + apple +/lemon, orange or other fruits/

Carrots + orange + apples + little bit lemon ...
is my favorite. Its sooo yummy.

All fruits must be organic and as fresh as possible. Ideally, we should be able to gather fresh, living food from our own organic gardens; unfortunately, this is not an ideal world and we must compromise.

Freshly made organic Carrot juice is one of the most important healing components in Gerson Institute .

(Look also my last post Never Lose Hope and watch film. )

Stay warm and healthy!

Healing the Gerson Way: Defeating Cancer and Other Chronic Diseases

It happened 18 years ago.
For the first time in my life my appetite was gone. I couldn't look at food, even the smell of it made me nauseous. It felt like torture even though there was no pain. Never before, even when I was sick, had I felt this disgust for food.
I felt horrible and day after day I was becoming weaker. At this point I felt very strongly that my life was coming to an end.

It turned out that I had an advanced stage of cancer (more on this later). In short, the only option I was given was - chemotherapy.
Fortunately I decided not to choose chemotherapy (thanks to a few supportive people).
So, what did I do?
Almost everything that Gerson's Therapy suggests. Of course at that time I hadn't heard about him or his therapy. I did what my instincts told me to do based on the knowledge I had at that time.
After 3 months I felt like I was getting my life back. My medical results slowly started to improve. At the end my doctor told me that my results are fantastic. I felt great too. In my doctors opinion if my cancer didn't come back within the year it would mean that I am cancer free.
Like I mentioned before, this happened 18 years ago.

Few days ago by accident (there are no accidents) I came across a book and a film about Dr. Gerson's therapy.
I was very surprised that after all this time, this is the first time I had heard about this therapy, unknowingly this therapy saved my life.
It felt like I was reading about myself.

I immediately decided to share this with everyone. Who knows who could benefit from this information.
I would very much like to recommend this film, the link is below. It takes about 90 min, but it is worth it.
Your time will not be wasted.
This film can be watched in segments, when it is convenient for you.

There is nothing more important than health!!
Remember it is easier to live a healthy life than to fix an unhealthy one.

Millions of people today continue to be inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's teachings because he was a genuine man of God. He also was an original thinker with an inquiring mind who refused to accept untested principles. What many people may not know is that Gandhi's thoughts on health are as original as his thoughts on spirituality and politics. This book shows how his renunciation of Western medicine transformed the man and his ideas.
Gandhi's Health Guide

The great Mahatma Gandhi, at the age of 32 became a student of nature cure. First he became a vegetarian and then a fruitarian. After six months as a fruitarian, he said in his book - The Health Guide:
"A period of six months is all too short to arrive at any definite conclusions on such a vital matter as a complete change of diet. This, however, I can say, that during this period I have been able to keep well where others have been attacked by disease, and my physical as well as my mental powers are now greater than before. I may not be able to lift heavy loads, but I can do hard labor for much longer time without fatigue. I can also do more mental work and with better persistence and resoluteness. I have tried a fruit diet on many sickly people invariably with great advantage. My own experience, as well as my study of the subject has confirmed me in the conviction that a fruit diet is the best one for us." - Gandhi.

These beautiful flowers and wonderful words I received for my last year's birthday from beautiful blogger friend - Mona . You see - Flowers are still alive!

Wonder of Blogland
Krystyna
She would lift you
On her delicate wings
Weighing you like the stars
Settling you amongst the Sky.

Her tender soul seeking
To Lighten your
Body, Mind and Soul
A Loving Mother
Grandmother and Friend
Hail, the Evolving Spirit!-
by Mona

(Thank you Mona again)

Life is beautiful and Life Is So Good!

I am no longer a teenager, but I still feel and act like a young teen.
Today is my 20th Birthday! A special 20th Birthday because it is my third time 20th Birthday.
Thank you God!
And I can tell that I feel great!
Btw, much better than when it was my second and even first 20th Birthday.
Do not believe me that my life is untroubled. But thanks God for the troubles too.

Life is beautiful and has so many possibilities.

John Glenn, at age 77, became the oldest person in space. On October 29, 1998, John and six other astronauts orbited the Earth for nine days aboard shuttle Discovery. His mission was to test the effects of space on the elderly.

Do you know George Dawson?
George Dawson - grandson of a slave and born in a three-room log cabin in Marshall, Texas - spent the first 98 years of his life learning all sorts of things, but could not read and write. But when he was 101, he published his book "Life Is So Good". (great book)
When he was 98 years old, he decided to take an adult literacy class. He got his GED at the age of 103.
“Life is good just like it is,” says Mr. Dawson.
“You don’t want to waste life, not a minute of it.”

So, if you feel like you're getting too old, don't believe it!
Life is so good, full of so much to see, do and learn!

Choose to be young!

And when you ask
God for a gift
be thankful if HE sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches
But The Love of Real True Friends.

I am thankful for You - My True Friends!

And Remember, Life Begins at 80...on the Internet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Vacation and Spiritual Development

2008-11-22T16:30:00.005-06:00

I took this title from Paul Martin's beautiful book - "Original Faith"

Engaging in a vacation has positive effects on our spiritual development. It sharpens our perspective - Paul said.

A vacation is a continuing aid in making distinctions about what is and is not worthwhile in our motivation and behavior.

Having a vacation can also help us to maintain sanity.

Engaging in a vacation can help bring us into a new sense and idea of ourselfves. A vacation can be a means of growing nearer to the only One.

I need a vacation. I'll be back in a month. While I'm gone I'd like to invite you to visit the beautiful blogsite, created by well-known, great poetess Nasra ... Living in Poetry:

http://livinginpoetry.blogspot.com/

You can find there very interesting Interview with Paul: Paul in Salmon Song.

Nasra:

If you have been given a chance to introduce Paul, explaining to other who is Paul? What would you say about Paul? (In another way can you tell us more about you, the person beyond your writing)?
Paul:
Thank you, Nasra, for beginning with something central to my point of view. I’d like to pick up on that right away – the fact that my primary interest is in what unites people spiritually.

I love words... New Lady on the blog...

2008-11-13T07:03:00.006-06:00

i love words

i love words
words that connected
to my soul
words that are true and real

if i scribble them wisely
if i used them in my little tongue
wisely
cos words are my actions, my gestures
they are the poetic drums of
my every heartbeat
i could say
i have become words of unsaid
of unconditional love
that words of knowledge
could flow on every page
from my soul
the spoken word
that became my hope
that became my gift
as words can preach through
open mouths of people
my heart sings them to the sun
grace them to he moon
oh beautiful words of fulfilling life
when i smile
and scribble
before my shadow
could only breathe
the sigh of humble
i love words, there are my tears
and my silent music
whenever i express my soul
to the sky
without words, i couldn’t be a lovely emotional poem
on that magical paper……..

Dear Kai -
I love words too
I love words
words that connected
to my soul
words that are true and real...

my room smells like flowers,
falling petals
oh so colorful
they blooms into
my soul
while words stirred off
flowing down

upon my paper

The Wise Woman

2008-11-02T23:13:00.016-06:00

For Inspiration.

The Wise Woman
by Author Unknown

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.

The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.

The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman. "I've been thinking," he said. "I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone."

Sometimes it's not the wealth you have but what's inside you that others need.

Fill Your Life With Passion

2008-10-23T21:34:00.008-05:00

Follow your inner path in life.
Life is too short to stop doing what you love, and it is never too late to rediscover your favorite things. If you gave up playing an instrument, painting, drawing, spending time in nature, or any other activity or interest that you once loved to do, now may be the time to take up that passion again. If you don't remember what it is that you used to be passionate about, you may want to think about the activities or interests that you used to love or the dreams that you always wished you could pursue.
You don't have to neglect your responsibilities to pursue your passions, and you don't have to neglect your commitments to do what you love. When you make an effort to incorporate your interests into your life, the fire within you ignites. You feel excited, inspired, and fed by the flames that are sparked by living your life with passion for what you love.

My job...is My Life Passion...

Giving massages, helping others heal

and my Motto...

First, be kind and loving to yourself
As you would love a child;
Allow spontaneity and play in your work
And know the effortless healing
Of God's indiscriminate laughter.

Remember, the more complicated the system
the more confused the client;
The more difficult the treatment
the less likely the cure;
The more SECRET the method
the more SCARCE the love.

Remain quiet within
And they will resonate with peace;
Sow silence, and they'll reap wisdom;
Step aside, and they will heal themselves.

Let go your desire to heal:
Watch God emerge.

Discover Your Passion and Follow Your Passion!

Don't Throw The Seeds Away...

2008-10-16T21:57:00.002-05:00

Read and Look here - baby apple tree

Read and look here: Apple trees grown from seed

Don't Throw the Seeds Away...
by Paramita Kar;

It makes you healthy,
It gives you energy,
An apple or a guava
An orange or a papaya
Eat a fruit everyday
But don’t throw the seeds away.

Here’s a simple thing you can do
You could tell all your friends too!
Plant the seed in the soil
(It doesn’t take much time or toil)
Pour a little water there
A young shoot will soon appear.

In time it’ll become a big tree -
Which gives so much to you and me!
This way there’ll be forests again
Green and clean our earth will remain.

Grow trees this easy way -
And its fun too, I say!
So eat a fruit every day
But remember -
Don’t throw the seeds away.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces,
I would still plant my apple tree.
- Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Me too Martin.

The Sunshine Vitamin D
It is better to get necessary vitamins from fruits, vegetables and other foods rather than supplements. But Vitamin D /or A+D/ as the pills I use sometimes. It is first up anti-aging Vitamin and I try to use it from sunshine or a pill.

Look what Dr's said about Vitamin D:
The Vitamin D Miracle Cure
Cell Defenses and the Sunshine Vitamin
and
Fact or Fiction?: Vitamin Supplements Improve Your Health

"We estimate that over half of all Americans are deficient in vitamin D," Dr. Oz says.
Dr. Oz says 1,000 units of vitamin D a day will benefit the body in a variety of ways. "Vitamin D is critically important for preventing cancer and critically important for reducing heart problems. It's linked to multiple sclerosis, to juvenile diabetes. It's one of the best ways of reducing infection rates. It's got a ton of things that it does for you to make your immune system function the way you want it to function."

Your body naturally gets vitamin D through sunlight exposure, so Dr. Oz says to get 10 minutes of direct sun exposure to your body or take a vitamin D supplement once a day.

The juice of fresh fruits and vegetables

2008-09-27T04:56:00.019-05:00

About Fruit Juices
One of the fastest, easiest ways to replenish vitamins, minerals, and enzymes and undo the damage caused by poor eating habits is to drink the juice of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, on an empty stomach, fresh juice can be absorbed into the bloodstream and start renewing our energy within 15 minutes.

My Juicer is the most useful kitchen tool and I use it several times a week to make fresh fruit and veggie juice. Carrot, apple, lemon and green juices are my favorites.

Fruit juicers

Fresh friuts and vegetables provide a wealth of essential vitamins and minerals, especially those that act as antioxidants. Antioxidants like vitamin A, C, and E and selenium help protect our bodies from cell damage caused by overexposure to sunlight, pollutants in the air and water, toxins and additives in our enviroment. All of these factors can slowly chip away at our health and accelerate the aging process. They can also plant seeds for future disease, especially cancer.

Antioxidant not only protect our health, but they also rejuvenate our skin, help lower cholesterol, energize our body, and keep our mind alert.

In order to digest our food and absorb vital nutrients like antioxidants, our bodies also need enzymes. Abundant in fresh juices, enzymes are necessary for just about every function in the body. Whether it's digestion, absorption, immune function, or nerve impulse transmission, our bodies could not survive without enzymes.

To increase our chances of living a disease-free, energetic life, the addition of fresh juices to our lifestyle is a tasty, quick, and easy way to start.

Fresh, home-made juices are my Favorite juices

Let's drink to our health!
