United Nations 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury

10/20/2016

The 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury was signed by 140 nations who shared the goal of protecting the population and the planet from the excessive and casual uses of mercury.

The Convention covered topics including, gold mining, product development, air emissions, water contamination and more.

One of the most important areas included was the use of mercury in amalgam fillings,
known as "silver" fillings. Unfortunate exclusions were vaccines, pesticides and cosmetics.

The United States, as a signer of the Minamata Convention has agreed to implement it. The following is the excerpt
from the Convention that covers dental amalgams and their mercury content:

Dental amalgam
Measures to be taken by a Party to phase down the use of dental amalgam shall take into account the Party’s domestic circumstances and relevant international guidance and shall include two or more of the measures from the following list:

(i) Setting national objectives aiming at dental caries prevention and health promotion, thereby minimizing the need for dental restoration;
(ii) Setting national objectives aiming at minimizing its use;
(iii) Promoting the use of cost-e ective and clinically e ective mercury-free alternatives for dental restoration;
(iv) Promoting research and development of quality mercury-free materials for dental restoration;
(v) Encouraging representative professional organizations and dental schools to educate and train dental professionals and students on the use of mercury-free dental restoration alternatives and on promoting best management practices;
(vi) Discouraging insurance policies and programmes that favour dental amalgam use over mercury-free dental restoration;
(vii) Encouraging insurance policies and programmes that favour the use of quality alternatives to dental amalgam for dental restoration;
(viii) Restricting the use of dental amalgam to its encapsulated form;
(ix) Promoting the use of best environmental practices in dental facilities to reduce releases of mercury and mercury compounds to water and land.

Bay leaf tea is a great inflammation fighter. It can be especially helpful if you have indulged in foods known to be inflammatory. If you suffer from chronic pain, the investment in a plant is worth the cost of $10-$12.

To make bay leaf tea take a handful of organic bay leaves, fresh or dried, add boiling water and steep for 15-20 minutes. For a more potent tea, crush leaves before adding water or boil leaves for 15-20 minutes. Add a healthy sweetener, like stevia, and serve.

Bay leaves can be used in cooking fresh or dried. Burning dried leaves will fill the room with a relaxing, organic fragrance.

Ireland Exposes The Truth about HPV Vaccines

10/8/2016

The largest segment of populations trust. They believe the written word, they trust their doctors and they believe their government has a handle on what is best for them. The most fatal of these beliefs is that pharmaceuticals must be beneficial, are surely safe and should be part of daily life. These are beliefs that should be challenged.

Those who dare are waking up to the reality that big business means lies and that these lies are killing us daily. It is no secret that pharmaceuticals are the 3rd largest killer. That means pharmaceuticals that are property prescribed, not taken recreationally. That figure does not include the millions that die of chemotherapy, which is simply calculated as cancer deaths.

If waking up is in your future, listen and learn from Ireland's opposition to the Merck HPV vaccine. The lies are exposed and impossible to dispute. What is not mentioned is that 90% of Human Papillomavirus, HPV, is cured naturally by the body without assistance or interference.

Diagnosis Shock

10/6/2016

It is my opinion that good decisions about illness, especially cancer, are not made from a gurney or in a gown. The immediacy that is made of the diagnosis is unnecessary. Cancer takes years to grow, but the moment after diagnosis a "team" is put in place to cut, poison and radiate you. You seemingly have no time to process the events or make decisions. It feels like being on a car lot and being pressured to buy. You are in shock and making decisions out of fear. In reality, there is most often plenty of time for calm decision making which should include strengthening the body, improving the diet and evaluating options.

The article below by Jeff Bell was reprinted in full. It is a very accurate account of what most people experience.

Diagnosis Shock! You Need To Know This To Overcome Cancer By Jeff Bell | Published: October 4, 2016

Something happens when someone receives a cancer diagnosis – something on the emotional level. Although we are mostly not aware of this, it triggers a cascade of powerful events. One of most crucial steps in beginning to reverse a cancer and start the journey back to health is to understand this cascade and to quickly bring it to a halt.

Let’s use a real-life example to explain this:
Some years ago, I went with one of my local clients to an oncology appointment. My client, Jane, had not been feeling well for some time. The appointment was to hear the results of some recently completed diagnostic work.   I always take really good notes at appointments such as this one, so the following is nearly word-for-word:

Doctor: “I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but you have cancer. You have stomach cancer and unfortunately it is serious.”

Jane: “What does that mean?   Am I going to die?”

Doctor: “Well, it is serious. We have to start treatment right away. There is no time to lose. We can do the blood work and check your heart to see if you can survive the treatment. We can do this today. If the tests come back OK we can start treatment tomorrow.”

Jane: “Oh my God! How can this be?   I know I have not been feeling well for a while, but I had no idea it was anything this serious.”

Doctor: “I’m sorry, but sometimes the symptoms of these cancers do not give us any idea of just how serious they are. Are we ready to go get started on those tests? There really is no time to lose.”

Jane: “What are my chances? You still did not answer my question. Am I going to die from this cancer?”

Doctor: “Honestly, I don’t know. We will do everything we can to save you and get you well.”

Jane, clearly panicked now: “How long have I got? How much time?”

Doctor: “I don’t really know. This is a very serious cancer. You might have anywhere from 6 months to a year or more. No one can say for sure.”

As she heard the doctor’s words I could literally see much of Jane’s vibrancy leave her body.   It was like watching the life leaking from many tiny holes all throughout her body. I stopped the conversation for a moment and had her just take a couple of deep, slow breaths with me. (Emotional first aid.)

There is no need to recount more details from that appointment. Clearly, Jane had walked into the doctor’s office, not feeling great, and with understandable apprehension. She knew it was possible that she had cancer. Who would not be frightened?

Before the appointment, despite not looking particularly well, she did not look like a person who was dying. After the appointment she did. Jane looked like someone who had just received a death sentence. Her breathing had gotten shallow. I could see beads of sweat on her forehead and she complained of feeling cold. She even stumbled several times as we left the hospital building. I had to grab her arm several times to keep her from falling.

The story has a happy ending. I promise I will get to it. But, first, let’s take a closer look at what happened. When Jane heard the doctor say she had cancer and was probably going to die it is understandable that she felt devastated. Of course, she felt an onslaught of fear.
But there are some important physiological changes that happened, as well. Research confirms that there is a strong connection between the vibrancy of the immune system and the emotional state.

A number of doctors and researchers refer to a famous case: (Both the well-known Dr. Larry Dossey, M.D. and Dr. Mario Martinez, Ph.D. have written extensively about this amazing case.) Two patients in the cardiac unit of a large and busy hospital had been hospitalized the same day. They were both male and roughly the same age, but their cases were physiologically very different.

One patient had relatively minor and intermittent chest pains. His tests revealed some moderate coronary artery blockages, but nothing that was immediately life-threatening. He was expected to be discharged from the hospital and to make a full recovery. His cardiologist determined that he did not need surgery. A couple of days in the hospital for rest and monitoring, some medications and diet change were all that seemed to be needed.

The other patient had advanced heart disease and was not expected to recover. The damage to his heart was already too advanced for recovery to be probable.

Here’s where it gets interesting: As I said, this was a very busy hospital.   The two patient’s charts were accidentally swapped. So now the patient who was supposed to recover had a chart that said he was terminal. The patient who had been diagnosed as terminal had a chart that indicated he was expected to recover.

Over the next several days, the patient who should have recovered, gradually shut down and died instead. The patient who had originally been expected to die, much to the amazement of his doctors, recovered.

How could this be?   These two amazing cases came to the attention of researchers, including Dr. Larry Dossey and Dr. Mario Martinez. They quickly came to the conclusion that unraveling the mystery required connecting the two cases.

Essentially, we had a person who should have recovered, but had been told he was going to die, or “sentenced to death”, and who did die for no real “medical reason”. At the same time, we had a person who, from a medical point of view, should have died, who was told he was going to recover, and who did recover.

Let’s look at what happened in the case of the man who died. Here is what the researchers concluded: He heard that he was supposed to die. His unconscious mind believed this, (even though it was medically not true), and set about preparing his body for death. His organs began shutting down. His immune system became far less active. After all, a dying body does not need to be protected against pathogens, so there is no longer a need for an active immune system.

A brilliant Traditional Chinese Doctor, Dr. Mei, coined the term, “Diagnosis Shock” for what happens when our unconscious minds believe we are dying and that it is time to “throw in the towel.”   The unconscious mind believes that the situation is hopeless, that there is no point in resisting what is imminent, and that the time has come to accept what is to come – death. It literally changes the biochemistry of the body and the neurological signaling of the body to prepare for death.

This is similar to what happens when the body “goes into shock” as a result of severe trauma. In fact, the researchers discovered that the same blood chemistry changes noted in cases of shock brought on by trauma, occur in those suffering from diagnosis shock. This can literally be measured in reduced T-cell counts, as well as other blood markers showing metabolic decreases and an immune system that is shutting down.

The diagnosis shock is generally in proportion to the degree of fear, conscious and unconscious, that is associated with the disease or condition. Here’s how this relates specifically to cancer: By far, the most important requirement for overcoming any cancer is a strong immune system. As long as person is in a state of diagnosis shock, their immune system will be anything but strong.

So the first thing to do immediately after receiving any serious diagnosis, especially a cancer diagnosis, is to reverse the diagnosis shock. It is safe to assume that diagnosis shock is always present following such a diagnosis.

So here is what happened with Jane: She mumbled to the doctor that she had to think about it and that she would let him know the next day what she wanted to do. Clearly, the doctor was not pleased. He wanted to begin the strongest possible treatment right away. But Jane had reservations. After all, the doctor told her that her situation was quite hopeless. So why should she subject herself to the tortures of chemotherapy and radiation?

Instead, she asked me to get her out of there and back home. As soon as we left the hospital, I began working with her to discharge and reverse the diagnosis shock. I did some of this using rational thinking. I asked Jane to describe how her body felt before the appointment. I asked her to describe how her body felt after the appointment. Clearly, there was an enormous contrast.

Next, I asked Jane if she thought it was even remotely possible that the cancer had advanced sufficiently to explain for how much worse she felt in just the few or so that we spent in the doctor’s office. Obviously, that was not possible. We talked about cancers and how they grow. I shared with Jane that in most cases, tumor forming cancers grow slowly at first and that almost certainly this cancer had been growing and developing for at least the past few years before it produced and symptoms and became anything that could even be diagnosed.

We used yogic breathing measures, EFT and some special techniques for shifting unconscious beliefs to help her discharge and recover from the diagnosis shock. This was the first major step in her recovery.

Jane decided to decline all conventional treatment and instead take advantage of the leading edge alternative treatment available. Over the next 18 months, I guided her through a program to eradicate the cancer, rebuild her immune system and correct the other factors that had allowed the cancer to grow and thrive in her body. Although her program was specific to her and her needs, it followed the same core principles I have used for many years to help hundreds of my clients recover from cancer.

To make a long story short, instead of getting sicker and dying at 6 months, which was the short estimate the doctor had given her, Jane was confirmed cancer-free at 6 months. (Although she declined conventional treatment, I insisted that we utilize conventional diagnostics so that we could track her progress.)

By 18 months, not only had Jane fully recovered her health, but she remained cancer-free, feeling healthier than she had in years. Further, all measurable cancer risk factors were dramatically decreased. Jane recently passed the 4 year mark since being declared cancer-free. She remains cancer-free and is optimistic about enjoying many years of healthy life to come.

Conclusion:
To me, having encountered and observed diagnosis shock over and over again throughout the many years I have been doing this work, the phenomena of diagnosis shock is obvious. Further, the effects of it are obvious. Ignored, it can be deadly and has the potential to turn an otherwise recoverable case into a terminal case. This is especially true in cancers, where a vibrant and strong immune system is so crucial to recovery.

Yet, conventional medicine still all but ignores diagnosis shock. In fact, if you google diagnosis shock you will find tons of articles and posts on how to detect and deal with physical shock, as in trauma care, but nothing on diagnosis shock. This is despite the fact that real research confirms that both are potentially deadly.

In my next post I will share practical techniques and resources for dealing with diagnosis shock and reversing it. I believe this is one of the most crucial steps to overcoming cancer. My years of experience confirm that these measures to discharge diagnosis shock should be among the first employed following any cancer diagnosis.

I’m sure this important factor that is so often ignored will generate some interesting comments and questions. I look forward to a stimulating conversation.
To your great health – until next time!

Are Big Pharma Ads Killing You?

10/5/2016

Remember when cigarettes were killing so many Americans that their advertising was banned from television? The written word carried disclaimers and packaging had to state the Surgeon General’s Warning?

Now there is a new crisis. The 3rd largest killer of Americans is never mentioned and allowed the obscene privilege of advertising directly to consumers without controls.

Although rarely mentioned, properly prescribed pharmaceuticals, not recreationally used pharmaceuticals, are the 3rd largest killer of Americans and 4th largest killer globally. Their dangers fall only behind heart disease and cancer. Even with these stunning statistics, drug manufacturers are allowed to advertise directly to consumers in the United States, something most countries do not allow.

America is one of only two countries that allows pharmaceutical advertising directly to consumers. Television and magazine advertising is overwhelming a now drug dependent USA. These ads have convinced an otherwise bright group of people that their failing health is due to a lack of pharmaceuticals and it is literally killing us.

How does this happen in a modern society that undoubtedly "knows better?" Pharmaceutical industry advertising accounts for the lion's share of advertising income for network television and is a huge contributor to magazine advertising income. With that said their influence has taken over reasonable thinking.

This influence taints what Americans see and hear as news, as truth about medicines and fails to disclose the facts when convenient. The overwhelming financial relationship has converted common sense into financial relationships with political ties and government relationships while Americans suffer. Meanwhile, it is impossible to get unbiased reporting of what the medical industry is doing when they are the wallet that pays the rent.

It is time for this unhealthy habit to stop. When cigarettes became a crisis the Surgeon General intervened. We have an even greater crisis on hand now and we are overdue for correction.

Homemade Organic Vitamin C

Eating organic means spending
more money on food.

To offset the higher costs, we try to use everything we can of the organic products we buy.

One of my favorite things to make from organic oranges, lemons or grapefruits is homemade vitamin C that will also detox metals.

You can use homemade vitamin C in tea or as tea, in salad dressings, smoothies or anywhere you would like to add a boost of nutrients. Kids will not disapprove of it in cookies, on yogurt or on vegetables. It’s simple and will store easily.

Peel the rind of the citrus and let dry on a tray in a single layer. The pith, the white lining of the skin, will be attached. Include it in the processing as it has many benefits including the ability to detox heavy metals from the body.

Let the rind sit until it feels fairly dry or is completely dry. If it is not completely dry, put the tray in your oven on low until the pieces are completely dry.

Next, put the dried rinds in a food processor and process to a fine grind. If you feel any moisture at all, put the ground peel back onto the tray and dry again in a low oven. Drying a little longer will give it a nutty flavor.

Cool and store in a glass jar in dry storage. Be creative, you’ll find endless uses for these flavorful, nutrient-rich bits.
