Newsletter for The Positive Living Center #0009 September 16, 2010

It Has Been A While Since I Have Written

Hello everyone it has been a while since I have written a newsletter and I want to remind everyone that I am still here at the Positive Living Center doing what I can to help people with their Natural Health Care questions. It is my calling in life to help people and many times I give people advice when they don't ask for it.

I have a lot lately been going to visit friends of clients in the hospital that want me to help. People have a lot of physical and emotional pain that I can help them with. Of course many of the ideas that I share with people are to help people avoid some of these experiences.

It takes serious dedication to reverse some of the conditions people come to me with. That is why I do my best to talk to people before serious complications set in. So I ask for everyone's patience as I am just being myself. I am doing the only thing that I know how to do. I have to admit there are a lot of conditions that I have a limited experience.

My fees are easy to manage and I don't have the giant machines that go “ping’ that some people are looking for. I will be writing more hopefully. I get lots of information everyday from someone that has a miracle “cure’ and I am sure some of them are valid. However I still feel all the answers are in balancing the body.

I've been taught by people that have studied Natural methods with Native Americans and other ancient techniques that work very well. Some of the help I offer is to help people release emotional trauma as well as the physical. I feel it is always essential to go to the root of the problem instead of covering up the symptom.

Problems usually stem from improper PH balance, poor digestion and assimilation or emotional. Just covering up symptoms has never been my style. I went through a lot of that as I was growing up and I made a lot of bad choices which I am doing my best to reverse.

There are techniques like “Body Electronics’, Marma Therapy, Massage, Iridology and other simple basic techniques that I feel can help a lot of the maladies people experience before invasive methods are used. These techniques and others can help before serious complications arise. The beauty of it is that the only side effects are that you get better.

Some of these techniques have been used for hundreds and thousands of years. Are there any TV shows explaining these simple methods? Are there are any commercials explaining how simple and how safe they are? It is true that regular consulting with a natural health professional is important and significant? Many times people will tell me they understand, when the evidence is different.

I have one client that it took about a year and a half before she would listen to something so simple. No MRI's are necessary, No X-Rays, No blood drawn, just simple observation. It is good to have 1 ½ hours for a first consultation to make sure we are on the same page. The hair, the eyes, the nails, skin and ears give plenty of evidence as to a persons state of health.

One of my teachers ( who is an M.D., a Naturopath and a Chiropractor ) told me it takes about 1 year for every 7 years we mistreat ourselves to correct the problems and reverse conditions. It can be a much shorter time period if people are persistent and seek help from someone that will do something other than create further damage.

I've also started putting together a series of relaxation sessions that help people with changing their weight, personal changes, smoking cessation and building confidence.

These sessions are primers for big changes and many times personalized sessions are necessary. It is a great way to relax and you can look at it as a personal 30 minute vacation that helps relieve stress and help you focus on goals. There are more in the works, in case you have any suggestions.

If you would like to find out more. Give me a call for a consultation at the Positive Living Center 937-298-4939 and we can see what you are willing to do. Best Wishes. I can help.

Proper Timing

2010-01-06T13:16:00.000-08:00

Maybe everything is in proper timing. Sometimes things seem out of sync, then again maybe everything is working out the way it is supposed too. I just had a dream where I thought everything is out of sync. Maybe I am just being too impatient. Maybe my ego just wants things to happen in a different way then I imagined. Maybe everything is perfect. Just because people are trained to believe that everything is supposed to happen in a certain way by the educational process or institutions, sometimes an answer that was never imagined before is the best route to take. What if there is a bigger plan unfolding for us just around the corner?
The universe has a way of speaking to us when the time is right. The information can appear to be uttered by someone around you, in a song, in a sign or even from someone that is guided to give you a message. It will be something that will capture your attention. It can even be a memory from years past that the timing was right even when it was ignored.
A teacher named Peter Inman once told me it the timing is right and you won't listen it can be something as significant as a heart attack that can get your attention. Many times people around us believe they are working in our best interests may distract us, goad us or even coerce us into turning away from the messages that are coming through. A wonderful example is being diagnosed with a serious dis-ease and we are being told to (seek something that will) balance the body while a well meaning friend or relative will try to convince us to go a route that will only speed up the process of illness and shorten our time here.
Years ago I met someone in Canada at a health fair. He had told me that 25 years earlier he had been told he needed a quadruple bypass right away or he was going to die soon. A small still voice in his head told him to leave the hospital, he started by eating healthier, exercising and changing his attitude, 25 years later he was still alive and very healthy even though someone told him he was going to die soon, 25 years before.
The same thing has happened to many people that have changed their lifestyle and lives, sometimes in a very short period of time. Miracles do happen everyday when people listen and stop getting in a fear mode which has a much different voice. Fear takes us out of balance and makes the real messages that guide us gently through life impossible to hear. There was a ex-heart surgeon that experienced something similar as her medical friends gave her 3 months to live about 20 years ago.
Maybe now is the time for all of those changes to happen NOW instead of a month ago or a year ago. Maybe everything is falling into place. Sometimes there is a much bigger plan that has yet to be unveiled. Some people call it synchronicity. When something is done in synchronicity the power of the universe is behind you.
Proper timing for change to begin can come in a song, something that someone says, in a movie, on the radio, or even an advertisement. It could be that it is time to heal, time to change a habit, time to end a relationship or time to find a new partner. What is it that you can to change? What do you want to change?
When you make changes at the right time things begin to fall into place, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly depending on how deeply the old patterns are ingrained. Sometimes you will feel like a completely new person.
It was that way for me when I decided that helping people was part of my essence. Everything appeared brighter and even though some of the changes scared me I felt that I had to leap into the fire and go for it. Actually many people with limited beliefs systems tried to talk me out of it because it wasn't right for them and I had to realize that just because it wasn't in their future didn't mean their ideas should stop me from pursuing my vision. I realized that so many people could benefit from the non-invasive care that I was drawn to that I felt like it would be an instant success. I did start finding a lot of people that needed the information I was learning and even though it seemed to be moving slower than my rational mind expected I had to pursue my goal.
Every time I got angry or upset I would brush myself off and get back on track. Sometimes I felt like I should be busier and eventually I got the message this was time for me to write, learn, study and rearrange my thinking patterns so that I was more positive, constructive and motivated. This is a new paradigm and old outmoded ways of thinking had to be discarded before the true vision will emerge. Because I was trained only to see a solution in one way I didn't see the new outcome. Once we get out of our way or said in another way we change our thinking processes and the solution appears. Sometimes we need guidance to help us clear our path. Sometimes we have heard the messages over and over until the day appears that seeing everything in a new light became evident and the solution came from another direction than expected..
This is a traditional time of year for people to make changes so possibly now can be the proper timing.
What do you think? Do you love and appreciate yourself enough to do something new, to take the first step, open up a book or make a call that will change your life? I know that when I started on this path I did just about everything to resist it. I used money as an excuse, then when it got down to it and I saw the value in the information it was easy for me to go out on a limb, reevaluate the situation and jump in with both feet. It was like it was the only choice I had, because I found what I was looking for. I was at the crossroads and all signs were pointed in the direction I was to go. For over 20 years I have been guided to help people move in a different direction, through a different paradigm as I have done for myself. If we continue to think what we have always thought we will continue to get what we have always got.

Healing in our own way

2009-12-30T08:50:00.000-08:00

People have different ideas of what healing is. Some people will go to a Natural Health Care provider, D.O., M.D., Psychologist or Psychologist. I myself only use natural methods whether I am working with my mind or my physical body.
I feel that the only true way of healing is to get to the source of the problem even when it may take a while. What ever condition that we have it didn't get there over night and it will go away as quickly as we persist quickly or slowly.
Cancer for example is a condition that takes years to develop and cutting it out only relieves the symptom and not what caused it. All conditions in the body stem from one thing, the body being to acidic. So the challenge is to reverse the acid condition by what we eat, drink and think.
Anger, stress and frustration for example create a lot of acid in the body. When people are angry it uses up important nutrients that could be used to prepare the body instead of throwing it out of balance. Drinking acid liquids like soda, coffee, alcohol and many teas rob the body of essential enzymes and alkaline minerals. The products that we put in our mouth either support and healthy digestive system or tear it down.
Now the emotions and physical health are inter connected, they work hand in hand. When the body doesn't feel good it will effect our emotions. When we emotionally are out of balance the physical body suffers. So it important to address both of these issues at the same time, if possible.
The nutrients we need include vitamins, fats, minerals enzymes, fiber and other nutrients that haven't even been discovered yet. These nutrients begin to be destroyed above body temperature, so exposing what we consume to extreme temperatures only escalates the problems.
It is a choice that we make every time we put something in our mouth, is it health providing or something else. When nutrients such as enzymes are missing from what we eat, the body robs it from the muscles (possible reason for muscle cramps), nerve fibers (possible reason for graying hair), teeth, bones and anywhere else that will let go of it, eventually creating a state that has been labeled disease.

Positive Living Center Newsletter #0001
Hello Everyone,
Thank You for taking the time to read my news letter. I know you all have busy schedules and this is very short and brief. You are receiving this because you have visited the Positive Living Center, A Great Massage or talked to me at a health fair recently.
It is another interesting day in the neighborhood. The information I always share with people is about health. Since I have worked with all of you I get feedback and information about people's state of health. I don't always say anything unless I feel I have permission. All my points of view come from a strictly natural angle. I was trained by many that believe health can be achieved by one thing creating an on going alkaline state in the body. There are many ways to achieve this, it will save you money, time and possibly you life/health.
According to Dr. Joel Wallach the body was designed to be in good health for 120-150 years. So why is it that people only live to30, 40, 50, 60,70, 80 or 90 years, if that long? One of the answers is that we are eating too many processed products that are on the market.
There is a recent documentary that is out called "Food Inc." that I suggest to people that are interested in feeling good and wondering what can be done to be healthier and possibly free from medication. With the modernization of the food supply things are being grown faster and in bigger quantities even though the quality of the food we eat in continuing to spiral down hill. Antibiotics and growth hormones in the meat, along with living conditions is making the animals sick. They get bigger faster but the animals have to be slaughtered at a younger age before they die from incorrect eating habits and malnutrition that are forced upon them. Cows for example are being fed genetically modified corn when they are designed to eat grass. What happens is their digestive system is being destroyed and it is the reason for the problems with E Coli that is heard about in the news, they won't tell you why this is happening because you might stop eating the industrial farm raised meat.
The government is trying to convince people they need to radiate food so it will be safe and last on a shelf for 5 years. Nothing that is radiated or microwaved is good for your body. The E Coli problem is created by the run off (urine and feces) from factory farms that is getting into the water supply and is being used to water the vegetation. When I first heard about the E Coli problem it didn't make any sense, because E Coli comes from animals products. E Coli is created in the digestive system of cows that are fed genetically modified corn.
The meat industry is doing everything it can to keep this information out of the media.
Back to health, Dr. Wallach's estimation is grounded in the facts gathered by different organizations such as The Weston Price foundation that educate people about the importance of eating animals that are fed proper foods, avoiding chemically sprayed products, hormones and antibiotics. The Weston Price Foundation has meetings 6 times a year in Kettering, Ohio. They are informed on many things and I take that a step further by educating people about the importance or eating a lot of alkaline foods instead of the shaped, colored and dyed products that are found on the market. There are a couple of places in the area that properly raise meat, fruits and vegetables that can be purchased.
I personally feel we can get all we need from a variety of plants however for those that are attached to meat and dairy then getting it from sources that are safe is important.
Health is the most important thing that we have. If our health is failing, which I see in many, then someone is possibly going to take money that has been saved your whole life to keep your alive a few days or months. I hear ambulances going by everyday rushing people to the hospital where they are fed more useless products that only rob their body of important nutrients, I know I worked and ate there for over 20 years and that is how I know it is true. I talked to them about it and it only fell to deaf ears.
Another thing while I am at it. Soy is not a health food and many experts for the last 15 years have been saying that it contributes to breast cancer and THE BUSINESS is doing everything it can to cover it up. They are in the business of making a profit instead of making products that are worth eating and sustain health. Health comes from creating an alkaline state in your body.
You may have to excuse some of my sentence structure and such if you may be a grammar specialists, my field of expertise is health and I hated English in school. If you would like to learn more you can visit positivelivingcenter.net or talk to Dr. Ron about a health evaluation.
Thank You for your time, because you deserve it.
If you would like to be removed from my mailing list reply to this message and ask to be removed.

Joy

2009-12-01T10:41:00.000-08:00

At times like these it is easy to lose the thrill and joy of living when one is wondering what kind of day tomorrow will bring. What people need to realize is that what is going on around us is part of social engineering. All the money problems, escalating prices etc. have all been planned for us on some level. On other levels it is a part of what people have to go through to wake up to the potential catastrophes that have been created for us for our learning to become more self-sufficient and responsible for everything we do.
I see young people doing their best to make decisions that will effect their future. Joy can be a sign that tells us what will satisfy us. Doing things that bring us experiences other than joy will only cause us problems on many levels.
Doing jobs we despise, being with people that are indifferent and eating products that undermine our health are only a few examples of things we do each day that lead us to the grave. To seize the day we can begin to do things that make us happy instead of slaves. Some people feel that has only been a part of certain races of people when in fact we all can be slaves to the economy and forces that seem to be beyond our control.
My JOY for the last 20 years or so is to help guide people to make better decisions for themselves and others they are responsible for.
It is time to open our eyes and see the world as it is instead of sticking our heads in the sand instead of believing the constant mantra of the people that do their best to control our mind.
Turn off the TV and start thinking for yourself instead of having your feelings dictated to you.
If you don't control your mind someone else does.
If you haven't already watch a documentary/movie called "What the Bleep" and take charge of your life.
If you would like help get in touch with me and well see what is possible.

Confusion

2009-12-01T07:56:00.000-08:00

It is all so confusing sometimes going through our day, doing what we can to make decisions that effect our lives. There is so much information out there that is used to guide us in directions that may be against our nature.
We are being exposed to environmental toxins, electronic pollutions and products that are filled with toxic chemicals that drive us into feelings of poor health and a state of imbalance. Lets alone some of the nonsense that keeps people focused in fear.
The planet is going through revolutionary changes, some like we have never seen. Creating the best solutions and balance mentally, physically and emotionally can be an interesting tests of our skills to discriminate between solutions and detours. Sometimes what appears to be a solution and the easiest to do can be the hardest road to travel. Sometimes the long windy detour is the best solution even though it appears to be a longer road.
Whatever happens we are making the best decisions at the time with the information we have at hand.
Sometimes we have to crawl before we can walk.
Best to all

Taking care of ourselves

2009-11-29T21:22:00.000-08:00

There is a lot of information out there about health and some of it is just plain non-sense. People are watching their family and loved ones pass away from poor examples of health care.
Health is something that is created everyday by making choices that empower us as creators of our own destiny. I personally know if what I am doing is helping me or not. If I choose to do something that isn't good for me it is a choice and I better do something to correct it because if I leave that responsibility us to someone then eventually they will take everything I own for the CURE. Is it any wonder that people are having so much trouble holding on to their hard earned money when every month many of these people are paying the same people that keep them sick when a very simple easy fix is readily available and right in front of our eyes.

We did our graves with our teeth.

So is it time to get on a path that will help instead of just feed the system that sucks people dry?

Time for a Change.

Anger

2009-11-19T09:43:00.000-08:00

Anger can be something that can be quite positive, like if we need to protect ourselves. Yet when it is burning a hole in our stomach or brain because people are taking advantage of us it can be very destructive. Anger can shut down our immune system and create a lot of acid in our body. Some times hypnosis, EFT or even Marma Therapy can help us relieve this nagging feeling that continues to invade our thoughts. Hypnosis or NLP can help us change our perspective and look at something from a different angle. EFT (emotional freedom technique) can help us let go of the emotional charge that is present when we get disappointed or frustrated over an event that has taken charge of our life. Marma Therapy can help let go of emotional charges as the meridians are restimulated and brought back to life.
Remember that he/she that makes us angry controls us. So today I have been letting go of the fact that I lent someone a very important video about 7 or 8 months ago and they haven't been able to return it because they are too busy. I've lost several books because I loaned them to people I thought I could trust and it didn't work out that way.
Are people just so unconscious that returning something isn't important or does it just show a lack of respect for people and their posessions. I am still working on this one. The bottom line is that I have to let go of this anger for my own sake because it is doing me more harm than good. Do it mean I won't trust anyone in the future, I am not sure at this point.

Unconscious

2009-10-26T03:04:00.000-07:00

I was listening to a person talk to their child the other day and it set off some alarms in me. Because of some of my training I understand the importance of suggestion especially on small children because they haven't developed the skill of discrimination yet. Until the age around 6 youngster are in a delta brain wave pattern and all suggestions are recorded and internalized.
When people unconsciouly say things that are negative the child will play that program until something is done to remove it or neutralize it.
Suggestions can include but are not limited to their appearance, the way we treat others and right and wrong. Most people grow up with a lack of self confidence because they pick it up from their environment. If the environment dictates that we never should trust our own decisions, we are never good enough, never pretty enough, never tall enough, never smart enough then our only option is to be substandard.
I have worked with a lot of people that have been physically and sexually abused and they generally have such low self esteem, they can be hard to reach because of embedded programs that stop them from loving and accepting themselves for being a wonder aspect of creation. Some children are born with a feeling of self defeat because they may already feel unwanted from energies that are around them as they are growing in the mothers body. If the couple is fighting or feelings of discord are around them during this preconception period it is energetically affecting the developing fetus's auric field.
Many people grow up with the feeling of not being good enough, because they are constantly being compared to others. Comparison is one of the many distructive things we do to each other. You're fatter, your skinner, your dumber labels are being used all the time and these ideas perpetuate themselves through the educational system. Some times people will grow out of these limitations and sometimes the patterns persist throughout life.
One way of looking at this is "my family history is that everybody is diabetic", to me that just says that everybody eats badly. A genetically weak person can change their behaviors enough that these health challenges are never a concern if they work in harmony with the body to resolve any weaknesses. But if you continue to eat like your diabetic family does then diabetes is possibly in their future.
Whatever you set your mind to you can change if you are given the right suggestions and a willingness to change. I've met too many people that were left for dead that completely reversed their state of health by making changes instead of just learning to LIVE with them.
Back to the point that whatever ideas we are implanted with during our youth is very important and it puts the responsibility back on us when the experiences are noticed. Given proper information everything can get better.

Energy Healing

2009-10-01T02:59:00.000-07:00

Energy healing is one simple way of helping to solve health problems. People are waking up to the facts that healing comes in many forms. Direct energy stimulation helps draw important nutrients to the designated area, improves circulation and speeds up the healing process, all done for a fraction of what the medical system would charge. So why are people reluctant to try something that is affordable, non-invasive and safe? A good question that I have asked myself many times. I guess there aren't enough TV shows about healers and I haven't seen any commercials for one.
Maybe next century or so the truth will come back out again, when people realize they are much more than a physical body and that science of natural healing will be common knowledge.

Unnecessary Operations

2009-10-01T02:40:00.000-07:00

I overheard a man talking in a restaurant tonight talking about a surgery he had. What I find interesting about it is that it was something that could be fixed making minor chances in his life style. For about $5-10 a month he could have done something about this situation and avoided having to be cut open and it would improve his health.
Some people seem more interested in having surgery. Are people truly becoming more interested in their health? I ask myself this quite a bit as I listen to the ambulances going by my house daily. It seems like many people have some type of natural aversion to be healthy.
I was talking to another vendor today at a HEALTH fair that was diabetic.
Twenty years ago people were reversing diabetes. I would imagine if a person honestly wanted to be healthy they would find this type of information instead of listening to people that have an investment in their poor state of health.
Some people are waking up to realize that health is easy when you find the right information. So why do so many people want to be sick? I certainly scratch my head a lot when I hear people talk about having unnecessary procedures when easy simple solutions are to be found.
Sometimes I feel like I am standing out in heavy traffic trying to flag down people that will listen to simple easy to follow directions for health, but only some will stop and listen. Maybe tomorrow will be different.

Healing

2009-09-07T09:23:00.000-07:00

I like looking at people and reading their energy. When I lived in Toronto quite a while back and I didn't have anything to do I would go the mall across the street and just sit and watch people.
The energy that people give off is unconscious many times and it was interesting watching how differently people are responding to life.
Some people have a lot of energy around them, are just full of energy and they appear to glow,.while others seem to have a black cloud following them around. Unconsciously we are like an antenna giving and receiving energy from our environment and the people around us.
For many the energetic pattern/feeling is so common that they feel "Normal". I see a lot of stress in people yet if I ask them they say I am "OK". We can "believe" anything we want, what I say is that "the body never lies ". Even though we may be feeling "OK" or "Normal" people can be under an enormous amount of stress.
Healing can take be through many forms, it could be energy balancing, it can be through forgiveness, meditation and/or nutrition. There are a wide variety of approaches depending on who we are seeking guidance from. The approach for healing is different for everyone and usually a combination of "all the above".
It can be easy or slow, quick or hard whatever the approach. Balance is a learned process that is experienced in many ways and the time it takes is different for everyone. What ever approach one uses it may be time to let go.

Responsibility

2009-08-17T07:26:00.000-07:00

One hundred or two hundred years ago when people ate something is was because they were hungry. Today people purchase something to eat because they saw a commercial that told them it was "GOOD". Back then if you ate something the potential of it actually having nutritional value was greater because the potential of it being raw or less processed was much greater since the technology wasn't available then.
People believe that just because they stick something in their mouth that they are going to get something out of it and with all the processing that is going on today no-thing is further from the truth. It is really kind of sad to believe that we are supposed to be getting smarter, learning more doing things faster and there are more serious health problems than ever before.
People seem to be taking less responsibility for their actions and their body is paying for it. Convenience is replacing good choices. The "if it is quicker it must be better philosophy is taking over" and people are paying for it by ignoring the basic facts that most food products that are in a container are dead by the time they get to their mouth.
How can we be getting smarter and better if we treat ourselves with such disregard? Sure people have computers that work 20 times faster than the model from last year but our body is having to go farther on less fuel.
When does the insanity stop? People appear to age faster, skin sagging, nails stop growing and their hair is falling out. There are so many people my age that are on disability. There are more people now than ever before that are in their 40's that call themselves retired and I don't think it is from winning the lottery or making a million dollars last year.

Can It Be True

2009-08-14T12:35:00.000-07:00

Everyday people are being bombarded with information that comes across as public service information when in all actuality it is coming from the industry that is making the most money out of it. Myths such as vaccinations, cholesterol, protein, soy, calcium aspartame, etc. are built on foundations of sands. Just because people heard these bits of information every 30 minutes on the radio, several times a day on the television or are routinely seen in magazines gives little credence to the fact they are built on faulty data.
As an example aspartame one of the many dangerous chemicals put in food products at least since the 80’s were causing brain tumors in the animals they were tested on and the REAL data was omitted to make it look safe. When reality and the truth are separate paths that are taken people have to inform themselves because too much of the media has a bias because they sell time and space to the people that are perpetuating these tales. Anyone that can gain access to the internet can find the alarming amount of information that explains the dangers. Dr Blaylock is one shining example, he is a brain surgeon and in his book “Excitoxins The Taste That Kill” he explains that use of Aspartame lead to what he call “silent lesions” that scare brain tissue and can cause symptoms as extreme as death.
Soy is just a waste product of the oil industry that has been doing it’s best for over 40 to convince people it is a health food. The consumption of soy has been shown to slow down or block essential nutrients from being absorbed. Some scientists even believe that because soy throws off the hormones it can cause some of the problems with sexual identity and infertility. Kaayla Daniel’s book called “The Whole Soy Story” goes into great detail about the dangers of this supposed health food that is now practically in everything that is in a package. Protein is definitely an important part of what people eat, it can come from a natural source instead of a waste product the soy industry wants people to consume so they can stop wasting money throwing it in the landfills.
Vaccinations are another scary topic that many people may not want to talk about. According to many experts such as Dr. Tenpenny, Dr. Mercola and Dr. Leonard Horowitz (just to name a few of the many) that dangers inherent in taking these vaccinations is worse than the original problem itself. Mercury, mycoplasma and other dangerous things in the vaccinations lead to questions that drugs companies will avoid and deliberately mislead the public about. Many authorities are even associating the increase with problems and diagnoses’s such as autism is directly linked to vaccinations. If you have ever seen a child that may be permanently damaged, can’t walk and can’t function as a child their age it is eye opening and needs to be reevaluated. Vaccinations may cause more harm to our children than the public is aware of. If you’ve met any of these vaccine damaged children it can turn your world upside down. A recent posting on Dr. Tenpenny’s site says: “Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius They wanted to be sure that would not happen again. Our government has proven it is more important for them to take care of its Pharma buddies than persons injured by this experimental vaccine. This is one more important reason to REFUSE this shot. If you have a reaction, you have no recourse”.
On you tube there are plenty of video’s, one interesting video is called “Say No To The Vaccine”. When business’s that are supposed to be interested in health are more interested in profit people have to begin thinking for themselves.
Cholesterol is another of the great myths that are affecting many more people than be imaged. In Dr. Ravnshov’s book “The Cholesterol Myths” he is bold enough to say: “
There is no evidence that too much animal fat and cholesterol in the diet promotes atherosclerosis or heart attacks,” Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals” and “studies have shown that people whose blood cholesterol is low become just as atherosclerotic as people whose cholesterol is high”. This can be interesting information for those that have been hypnotized by the media and public information to believe something that is good for you is dangerous so they run off to the doctor, get a blood test and as if by magic people are advised to take something that has been shown to be dangerous, cause cancer and damage the liver.
Calcium is also an important part of the nutrients people need when it is naturally in the food people eat. According to Peter Gilham’s video on magnesium over consumption of calcium products can lead to heart attacks. Most of the calcium supplements on the market don’t have enough magnesium in the right proportions and cause magnesium deficiencies. Magnesium is the mineral that allows the muscles to relax.
So where do people we begin? Get on the Internet or get a consult from someone that isn’t selling hype. It takes a while to sort out the real solid information hopefully from someone that can be trusted instead of someone that is getting kick backs from the business’s that mislead and profit from your illnesses.

Insensitive

2009-07-11T14:40:00.000-07:00

I have realized today that when I write about some of the things I do I can appear to be very insensitive to people that are in the medical system. After working in the medical business over 20 years I've gotten very cynical about things I have seen, overhead and observed and that is why I take a different approach than many people. Because of much of my training I realize that much of what happens in hospitals could be avoided if people just developed healthier lifestyles.
I am just as guilty as many. I grew up the way most people have being told what to eat by people (that I now realize) have an investment in me being sick because they have a solution for the problems they are creating which is medication or surgery. It has been over 22 years now since I took medication for something I was doing to myself and that includes aspirin.
By developing a better lifestyle (which still has room for improvement) I have completely by-passed the system. I have been around people that have completely reversed symptoms of poor health by making (what can be easy for some and a challenge for others) easy to understand changes that kept me from being a patient.
When we make these changes our body thanks us with extra years of mobility free from pain and symptoms that are common to people that throw caution to the wind everyday. I see them standing in line to get sick in a few hours, days or years. Some of the symptoms take years to develop and some are noticeable within minutes.
So when I work with people that noticeably disregard what their body is telling them, sometimes I feel shocked and dismayed because I want to help them if they want to help themselves.
Best wishes for anyone visiting my website that wants to improve their health. Have a special day.

Just About That Time

2009-06-24T17:19:00.000-07:00

Now that I am 55 I get to hear more stories of people with cancer or that have died and I wonder what is going on. I ran into someone from high school recently and he was telling me about the people we know that have died and another friend has cancer and is getting "chemo". I have a few clients that have been diagnosed with serious health problems and I am glad that I decided years ago to make some changes.
Some of them were pretty slow and some I am still working on. I know that if I didn't make some changes I would have been one of those dead people. It just doesn't have to be that way. Today I think more people are dieing from the tests and procedures more than they are from the actual diagnosed dis-ease. I wonder why people might stop themselves from doing something that is a little bit safer than the treatment that kills before diving head first into the Black hole.
I had an uncle many years ago that died after being diagnosed with cancer and going through the chemo only to be sent home to die. When I went to the hospital to see him I didn't even recognize him. A man I knew for 25 years and I didn't recognize him after treatment. It just made me sick to my stomach to see such a nice person dieing and I couldn't do anything about it. So that is part of why I love to teach people about health. Other than the fact that I realized by the time I was 30 that I needed to start thinking about the future. The fact is that if I would have taken some of the precautions I could have earlier I wouldn't be in a position that I would have to be concerned about my health.
Now that everyone around me is getting sick maybe it will be an incentive to do even better. So it is going to be time for some juicing in a few minutes so I can get some real nutrients for the day. Have Fun

Changing Your Mind

2009-05-14T07:29:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis has been used for hundreds and possible thousands of years, some authors trace the use of hypnosis techniques back to ancient temples in Egypt where the priests used hypnosis to look into the future. When many people think about hypnosis they may think about going out to a night club and watching a hypnotist put several people into a state of relaxation and do silly things on stage such as acting like they are in a race car or sing like Elvis. Unfortunately these forms of entertainment take away from the understanding of hypnosis and the therapeutic uses of hypnosis that can help people make drastic changes in their lives and sometimes eliminate health issues that have plagued them much of their lives.
Hypnosis a Greek word for “sleep” is best described as going into an altered state near sleep for a selective purpose. Hypnosis can be used to regress people back to a time earlier in a person's life to solve a question that may have been hidden or forgotten or to help people visualize important ideas that can be used to encourage more appropriate lifestyle changes so that life can be improved.
Many people ask questions about "what am I supposed to feel" and however honest the hypnotists is it is impossible to tell someone what is going to happen because it is in the future and may be a first time experience. The hypnotists are acting as a guide without instilling any have too or should. Many marvelous things can happen that can change the way the world is viewed, change the way people feel about themselves and give people a new outlook on life.
Recently hypnosis has been used for such things as weight loss, stop smoking, nail biting, sports enhancement, test anxiety and more, this is only the tip of the iceberg for how hypnosis can be used to improve peoples lives. Hypnosis can also be used for problem solving, helping create a future that is more desirable or even mending a troubled past.
How long will it take? It takes as long as it takes. Sometimes solutions or better outcomes can be arrived after one, two or three sessions and some can take longer. Imagine if a situation has been going on for 10, 20 or 30 years, is it going to be solved in 3 sessions? It is possible. It has to do with many factors that begin with trusting that an answer can be found when opening up new doorways for solutions. When people go into something new with unreasonable expectations failure can be eminent, when going into a new project with an open mind can bring solutions that never may have been imagined. “If we continue to think what we’ve always thought we will continued to think what we have always got. Some people that have control issues can go into a situation and completely ruin it because they are not opening up to new possibilities. Hypnosis can bring new wonder possibilities that can change life as people learn to love and appreciate in new ways. Explore the possibilities.

Misleading Magazines and Advertising

2009-04-21T10:34:00.000-07:00

I always find it interesting to see magazines that are trying to pass themselves off as health concerned. But when I look through the magazine I right in front of me I know they are just deceiving the public.
Their advertising is for a lot of junk products. Take Canola oil for a start there is nothing good about canola oil, is it made from a genetically modified mustard seed plant. Mustard seed is what they made mustard gas out of and from what I have read will eat away the lining of your stomach. The second thing I find extremely annoying about this particular oil is that it is in a clear bottle. A good oil should never be in a clear bottle, light is the most damaging thing to oil and if they were interested in health they wouldn't be selling Canola oil or anything in a clear bottle.
So far all the picture I have seen in the magazine is for nutrition less food that the enzymes, fats and most of the proteins have been destroyed.
The next ad I see if for herbs from a company that radiates their products. If a process like radiation isn't good for your body then why would something that is radiated going to be good. All radiation will do is give the product a longer shelf life and make it worthless if you are concerned for you health.
The next add advertises a herbal product that has MSG in it.
Other tips you may like to consider
Juices that have been pasteurized are dead, all the fiber is gone, it's been heated enough that most of the nutrients have been destroyed and is as good as processed sugar at this point.
Above 99 degrees destroys your good fats.
Above 110 degrees you amino acids are being destroyed
112 degrees destroys all of your enzymes
Be careful when reading or absorbing information there is a chance the message is misleading.

Health 101

2009-04-18T09:07:00.000-07:00

Generally by the time people are 30 they have some type of serious health problem that they are facing. The reason being is that they have ignored all the warning signs that have been flashing. What people will do is take something that will suppress the symptoms and just keep on going down that road of poor health.
This is why is can be important to talk to someone that understands health instead of the people that will help you suppress symptoms. It is pretty frightning that many of the people that use the word health in what they do for a living for the most part don't understand anything about health and are only involved in health suppression.
Repeatedly I heard people talk about having surgery because their body has gotten to the point that the warning signs have been ignored for so long that now their favorite health care professional wants to remove the sign of poor health. The problem with that is our body was designed to work with all of its parts. There aren't any extra parts, even though I am sure if you want to let go of any saving you have someone is probably willing to donate one so they don't have to live on the street for a couple of days.
Of course the health professionals will never tell you to stop doing what is causing the situation because then they can't make any money on you when you have to come back for the second surgery and the third surgery. Some people appear to be professional surgery patients, I guess they just don't have anything better to do with their life. Just another day at the office.

Confusion 101

2009-04-18T08:30:00.000-07:00

It isn't any wonder that people are confused about how to be healthy since we are bombarded with so much information. Some of the "experts" need to go back to school. I am reading a handout from the American Dietetic Association is one of the organizations that believe they are handing out good information. From my point of view if you follow their guidelines (food pyramid) you will be a good patient some day. If you follow the food pyramid you will be sick and overweight and ready for their other friend in the medical business.
A lot of their assumptions appear to be based on faulty science. I have a general rule is the ADA is endorsing it then I would probably stay away from it. One of the worst books I ever read on nutrition was endorsed by the ADA. I believe at least 50% of their information in reality is destined for the garbage can and the rest may be suspect.

GK-3

2009-04-15T04:37:00.000-07:00

Cleaning the lymphatic system. I had my G5 for about 15 years and I would bring it out occasionally to work on a client’s body that was stubborn. I got a new GK3 because I was having so many clients come in that wanted deep tissue and my hands would hurt after work. I realized that I needed to use my machine to loosen people up before I started to do deep work and I know that (even though it feels different) it is important to use it first to loosen people up so I can do the deep work.
When I started reading the manual of the new GK3 massager and percussion instrument I realized that there was a whole array of things I could have been using my old one for that I didn't even realized it would do. The first thing the I realized was that the machine was good for removing cellulite which made me realize there was a whole lot that I hadn't explored before of even thought about.
The manual talks about contouring, what is happening when stimulating the skin it is stimulating the lymph system. The lymphatic system feeds the body and detoxifies the body. So what I was doing was pushing the toxins out of the body it tightens up the muscles and skin while increasing circulation, stimulating blood flow and feed the cells all at the same time.
I realized that I could also do sessions on organs so the organs will flush and detoxify so they work better. Another thing I noticed was that I was breathing easier as I was stimulating the chest with the massage.
I've never seen anything break congestion up like this before. Imagine having a tool for 15 years and just discovering more and better uses for it and how I can help more people. Life just gets more interesting.

Getting a deeper massage

2009-04-14T13:02:00.000-07:00

I’ve been doing bodywork for over 15 years. I can tell that a lot of my clients have been extremely stiff and acid for many years because of the way their muscles feel. If they are eating processed foods their body isn’t getting the nutrients they need to build healthy cells because their enzymes are digesting what is in their stomach instead of repairing their body when resting or asleep. If people are consuming anything that dehydrates their body like coffee and alcohol then it is very likely that their body is dehydrated and doesn’t have the proper fluids to nourish and detoxify their body. If they are under stress their body will naturally be using up their nutrients faster. Any of these factors stop the body from being in an optimal state of health and make it more difficult to get the most out of a massage.
I’ve been using massage and percussion machines for about 15 years. When I touch someone that is extremely rigid I know that by using the massage for at least 5-10 minutes and maybe longer they will get more out of their session than if I just use my hands. This type of equipment has been used by physical therapist, respiratory therapist and in health spas for over 45 years. I easily could do a session without the help of my GK3 however I realize if the clients consent for me to use the GK3 they can get a lot more out of their session. Hand massaging is very nice and people benefit greatly from a regular massage while this relatively unknown technology can take the benefits a notch farther.
I’ve noticed when use the massage at the beginning of the session I can tell that the muscles are looser and I can go deeper with my hands. The GK3 super stimulates the lymphatic system helping each and every cell of your body to be nourished and detoxify relieving muscle pains, spasms, contusions, sprains and strains.
It provides passive exercise to paralyzed muscles.
It aids in mobilizing fluid in swollen extremities
It increases local circulation.
It increases circulation bringing more warm blood flow to the tissues.
It aids in the prevention of muscle fatigue and stiffness in heavily exercised muscles.
It loosens bronchial secretions during drainage procedures
And helps maintains joint mobility.
And is great for helping with sports injuries.
Another great benefit that people may not hear about is how useful it can be in removing cellulite. By stimulating the lymphatic system it pushes out the toxic and allows contouring of the body.
Typical rates for similar are $80 to 100 for these sessions and right now as an introductory rate of $40.

Allergies

2009-03-12T07:26:00.000-07:00

Just about everyday I see an ad from a supposed health organization and I really have to laugh because if I didn't laugh I could be angry that someone that is supposed to understand health is writing stupid things. Today I was reading suggestions for people to get allergy shots. Lets think about this one. Why don't you quit eating what you are allergic to? Next you shouldn't ever inject something into your body. The skin is there for a reason, it is to protect your body from things that shouldn't be in there. Just because someone has invented a device that will pierce the skin doesn't mean I am going to use it. There are much safer ways of doing things without a needle.
Some people just seem hell bent on doing as many destructive things to their body as possible just because someone is selling something that will stop them from being more responsible. If we have a situation it is because we are creating it, not because we accidentally stumbled upon it.
For example: If we are having digestive problems it is because we are eating things together that won't digest right, it is not an accident, it is a symptom of not being in touch with your body.

10 Tips To Improving Your Heart Health

2009-02-04T19:26:00.000-08:00

People that are concerned about heart disease because of a diagnosis or a family history of heart problems may begin to integrate practical simple ideas that can quickly begin to reverse the conditions in a short of time. Stop smoking, losing weight, exercising, changing eating patterns, reducing stress are just a few of the ideas that can make a significant difference. Every day commercials and medical programs tell us about the dangers that are right around the corner if people continue to use poor judgment when healthier alternatives are presented as options.
1. Obviously stop smoking is going to eliminate a lot of the stress on the heart because the body is being overworked and deprived of oxygen. Carbon monoxide and many of the chemicals in cigarettes rob the body of essential nutrients to neutralize those toxins and stop the body from healing itself when in a state of rest. Nutrients in the body that would normally be rebuilding the organs, glands and tissues are being robbed each time a person inhales from a cigarette.
2. Losing weight is going to lessen the burden on the body by carrying excess weight that is generally from eating things that aren't digesting properly. With less weight the body is more efficient at getting oxygen and nutrients to the areas that are digesting the food, allowing the brain to function better, the memory to be clear and the aging process to slow down.
3. Eating habits should consist of eating as much fresh unprocessed and heating foods as possible. Fresh raw foods also keep your circulatory system clean so that the heart can get the oxygen it needs and are best at supplying the nutritional needs for the heart. All green foods are healthy for the heart as well as providing magnesium that allows the muscles in the heart to relax and are responsible for many heart attacks. Eating plenty of raw food also keeps the intestines clean so the heart get a clean supply of blood that is more oxygen rich. When people eat mostly processed food it is important to regularly clean the colon though colon cleansing herbs that can be found at a health food store or colon hydrotherapy a few times a year.
4. Exercising is fundamental because it gets the blood moving through the body and brings more oxygen to the heart. Exercising also cleans the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a ductless system that feeds every cell of the body including the heart and is stimulated by deep breathing, bouncing, laughter and eating fresh food. When exercise is incorporated at least 3 times a week or more for 30 to 45 minutes the heart is healthier, the body has more energy and a more youthful appearance is experienced. Exercising builds more muscle, which burns more energy and keeps the weight down to a comfortable level. Exercising creates a better feeling of well being and energy is abundant.
5. Meditation or relaxation techniques can be used after a stressful day at work or just as a conscious everyday process to help clear the mind. It is important to take at least 20 or more minutes a day to unravel from the stress of everyday life. So instead of sitting in front of the tube and getting wound up on fear take the time to relax and imagine doing something that is joyful, that brings pleasure and allows the heart to relax.
6. Deep breathing gets more oxygen into the heart and body, helps calm the body, helps digestion, helps the muscles relax and helps eliminate toxins by stimulating the lymph system. Oxygen is the most important nutrient used by the body and creates 60% of the energy used by the body daily. Most people are shallow breathers; one of the first things that happen when people are under stress is a tightening of the muscles that limit the expansion of the lungs.
7. Sun is very important because it gives us energy by creating vitamin D that is very important for a properly functioning body and heart.
8. Positive thinking creates optimism that people need to see the special things that are happening everyday in the world.
9. Take a walk, getting out in nature calms the body and allows the mind, body and heart to relax as stress is released.
10. Getting water from a good source helps the blood circulate bring oxygen to the heart and flush the body. For every cup of coffee seven cups of water need to be consumed to neutralize the effects of the coffee. Coffee is a diuretic having numerous side effects including agitation.
It is easy to see that many or all of these ideas can be incorporated into everyday activities to improve the heart, body and mind. So many things can be done everyday to improve the condition of the heart, which improves the quality or life, and add years to life.

February is the month of Love and Inspiration.

2009-02-04T14:22:00.000-08:00

It is a time to connect with people on a deeper level. It is a time to give thanks for all the people around us that have influenced our lives. I have a lot to be thankful for, friends, family and all of those people that guide me on my life path, which are many. It is also time to thank my body. Regardless of all the trials that I have been through I can now see that I am here to inspire people, to treat others better because I can see the beauty in each and every person I come in contact with. Recently I have had a lot of time to get in touch with my feelings on a deeper level. I've been watching inspiring people that come from the heart in everything they do.
Being a Naturopath I think a lot about health and nutrition. Some people associate the heart with the color green. All the foods that you see around you that are green are very beneficial for the heart. The heart chakra is the middle chakra that helps balance the body. As we share words that lift us up and feed our body the balancing foods it becomes a much easier task to understand and handle the stress we see around us everyday. Loving and appreciating ourselves and the people around us allows us to feel happy. Loving people without attachment can become an everyday experience. When you eat rich green foods your heart opens up.
At the Positive Living Center I have always encouraged people the make the best choices possible because when the body is in balance other things in our life also begin to come into balance, sometimes it takes a while to get the message. Because of all the beautiful people around me I realize I can overcome many of the obstacles I have had in my life and wish the same for others. I give thanks daily for the people that inspire me and I thank my body by feeding it what it needs to be healthy, happy, prosperous, whole and complete because I deserve it.
Recently I have been doing a lot of juicing because juicing is the best way to get your nutrients in the morning and throughout the day. Having some freshly juiced fruit in the morning or vegetable juices before a meal is the best thing you can do to get the essential nutrients your body needs for health, energy and vitality. Juicing takes all the work out and gives the body pure nutrients. Digestion takes up more energy than any other process in the body and when you are getting pure chemical free nutrients the body is filled with energy.
When the body is filled with energy and you are feeding your heart it is easier to see the beauty in all that is around you. When your body is filled with energy it is easier to say Thank You, I Love You and I love myself. Even if I just say it silently to the people I am around the energy builds, multiplies and spreads through the universe. Thank You to all who have consciously and unconsciously helped me on my path. If you care for guidance on your path to health visit www.positivelivingcenter.net for more information about my services. Have Fun

Have you had your aura checked recently?

2009-02-04T14:19:00.001-08:00

Everyday more people are realizing that we are more than just a physical body. We are a physical body within an energy field called the aura. The aura extends a few inches to a few feet from our physical body. We can collect or are influenced by other people’s energy in our aura as we think about them or are exposed to their energy.
When we are physically off balance we also can create holes in our aura. Dis-ease in the body also creates holes or dark areas in our energy field. We all vibrate at different levels depending on how we feel. Our energy attracts certain types of people to us that we can resonate with. When we feel different energy around us we will recognize it and sometimes respond to it by moving out of the energy field. If we like the energy we will be attracted to it. This is why we are attracted to certain people and want to move away from others. On an unconscious level we understand what is going on if our conscious mind doesn't rationalize it away.
Cleaning your aura is like cleaning your house, it needs to be done on a regular basis or things will get out of control and since most people only unconsciously pick up on their energy field help is occasionally required. Have Fun with your new adventure and notice how much different you can feel.
When you look at people in the future see how vibrant people are.
Years ago I remember looking at someone as they were walking away from me and I could see this dark cloud that seemed to be following them. It reminded me of a trail of dust that I had seen around one of the characters in the Charlie Brown comic strip that always has a cloud of dust following them. When you look at people do they radiate or is there a sense of darkness around them? Remember we see this on an unconscious level and if you consciously look for this your eyes will adjust and it becomes perfectly clear.
There are many forms of energy healing systems available to us today, open your mind up and feel the difference. Everything begins to shine in a new way when you look at everything energetically. If you would like to set up an appointment or need more information visit www.positivelivingcenter.net and as always Have Fun.

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE

2009-02-04T14:18:00.000-08:00

Sometimes it takes a long time to get the message. Sometimes it takes longer than too long to get the message. I've been there myself and I can tell you that seeing all the people that said, " I told you to stop doing that " were much better friends than I realized at the time. I mean that I loved them at the time and once they get your attention you can love them a little bit more because they were brave enough to say something in the first place and then support you as you go through your change. Whether it may be food, tobacco, alcohol, drug, gambling or health related that when it is time for a change it is good to have a support system.
I have seen a lot of people making changes only to have people around them let them know how much they are failing when they slip up. Sometimes criticism motivates people and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it just helps the person failing to feel worse about themselves. So if we can find a positive way of helping support people through their times of change it can actually help them over the hump and get things moving in the right direction.
Fortunately I hope I can do that for people, because I've been through it and I want to be that kind of support for people even though others may have given up as others may have given up on me when I needed them to hang in a little longer. It's easy to give up on people.

Nutritional Confusion

2009-01-11T13:39:00.000-08:00

As I pass through so many articles on vitamins these days I get very confused. One article from an expert says that certain vitamins need to be supplemented and another expert tells us that people are using too many of these vitamins causing other serious health problems. The first thought that comes to my mind is that if you choose it is possible to by-pass all of this information if you just eat whole foods and get off of fragmented processed foods. Unfortunately vitamins that are added to processed products work differently in the body and rob us of other essential nutrients while whole foods self regulate themselves when other co-factors that may not even have been discovered yet are involved.
We get into problems when we use individual supplements that are incomplete. If we get away from as many foods as possible that are heated we solve most of the problems that are being created by product (food) manufacturers that destroy important elements like fats, proteins and enzymes that are the essence of real food. If we do our best to get away from products that are genetically modified and sprayed with pesticides that kill bugs (and us) our opportunities for health are much greater.
When we put toxins in the body then we have to get them out somehow, the best thing to do is stop putting them in there. This is one of the reasons that our body creates fat is to store toxic poisons and get them out of our bloodstream. If we look at the rising incidences of cancer and other serious health problems they correlate with the amount of artificial chemicals we put in our system and emotional state, which work hand in hand.
It is impossible to emotionally feel well if we are putting the food additives into our body that cause over excitation of our glands, organs and brain. The rate of colon cancer is continuously increasing when we live outside of nature. Our foods have to energetically compatible with our body and when we super heat something in a microwave what we get out isn't what we put in. Speed heating of foods has been shown to compromise the immune system and people can start looking at the quality of the food they eat instead of just eating for entertainment.
People are eating for a flavor (an addiction created by chemicals) instead of nutritional quality. It is possible to get food that taste very good and taste good that is created by nature instead of in a laboratory.
Get in touch with how your body feels 20 to 60 minutes after you eat, are you tired, do you feel like taking a nap or do you feel energized? If you eat something that is healthy for you, you will feel energized after a meal.
Come into The Positive Living Center for a consultation or visit www.positivelivingcenter.net if you would like to find out more information about food additives, the benefits of whole foods or would like to find ways of improving the quality of you life. Have Fun

Watched

2009-01-03T14:30:00.000-08:00

I have watched my body change from a medical mistake to change to a better state of health over the last few years by just observing the way the digestive sytem works and it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be nice

2008-12-25T19:21:00.000-08:00

Wouldn't it be nice to do something to balance our body everyday? Instead many people put toxins in their body everyday in the hope that it will help them feel better when all it may do is just suppress symptoms of poor health. This is what many business's in the United States and around the world hope you will do instead of just finding out what is causing the problem and stop doing it.
There is a lot of money being made from people believing that just taking a purple pill is going to stop you from thinking about what the problem is. The purple pill is just a distraction so that while something stops hurting over here, something else starts hurting over here.
Have you ever looked up the side effects of medication in a Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) ? I know that it was always enough for me. Here are side effects from common medications used for treating depression : central nervous system stimulation, anxiety, insomnia, headache, anorexia, weight loss, tremor, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, weakness, sweating, diarrhea, respiratory symptoms, impaired motor performance, changes in blood sugar, rash, seizures, mania/hypomania, tinnitus, migraine, psychosis and male sexual dysfunction.
Side effects of vaccines: fever, drowsiness, gastrointestinal upsets, fretfulness, seizures, anorexia, swelling, vomiting, somnolence, anaphylaxix (a hypersensitive state of the body to a foreign protein), Gullian-Barre syndrome (inflammation of nerves and progressive muscle weakness), encephalopathy (disease of the brain), systemic reactions (nausea, headache, muscle aches, abdominal pain).
Cholesterol Medication: Arrhythmia (irregular heart beat), peptic ulcer, abnormal liver functions, gastrointestinal upsets, jaundice, acanthosis nigricans (hyperpigmentation of skin), hyperuricemia (excessive uric acid in blood, characteristic of gout), toxic amblyopia (defective vision approaching blindness), hypertension (low blood pressure), headache.
Hypertension Medication: Peripheral edema, headache, flushing, dizziness, fatigue, constipation, muscle cramps, rash, exacerbation of angina (sense of suffocation or constriction), heart failure, jaundice, nasal congestion, blurred vision, bradycardia (slow heart contraction resulting in a slow heart rate), sedation, arthralgia (pain in joint) and mineral imbalances.
This is just a small examination of the side effects of medications that has taken me about 2 hours to decipher. I've seen records of people that left the hospital that were taking 15 to 30 different products everyday. It is mind boggling to me to imagine that people actually seek someone's advice to solve one problem and create several others let alone what a handful of these chemicals will do to a body when REAL answers can be so simple.
I have to say after looking on the internet for answers, reading a medical dictionary and other sources that tell me the side effects of just a few medications and I am ready for a nap.
It is my hope that people will take this information into consideration when thinking about the quality of life they desire. I have been stunned by people that tell me how much someone saved their life and still caused them irregular heart rate, intestinal bleeding, rashes, headaches, joint pain, jaundice, dizziness, fever, constipation and more are doing them some good, when the answer could be something as simple as a mineral deficiency or getting the digestive system to working better.
Best Wishes.

Allergic Reactions

2008-12-16T11:27:00.000-08:00

People don't realize when they are getting allergic reactions these days and probably will go for something over-the-counter instead of investigate. Today I had this extremely strong urge to go and eat at a submarine shop I used to visit a lot. Before I even got back home I had an incredible headache that lasted for about a half hour and then I had to take a nap. When I woke up I noticed that my face was tingling and the tip of my tongue was numb, other signs of allergic reactions include but are not limited to sinus problems, diarrhea, blurry vision, itching, rage reactions, swelling of the throat, migraines, hypersensitivity, tingling, heart flutter and more.

Find Your Passion

2008-12-15T08:45:00.000-08:00

Building your passion. I was listening to a class from Dr. Russell Blaylock this morning as he was talking about studies that have been done on people in prisons and how they stopped having violent behavior when fed better food. He was also discussing how children were making significant changes in their test scores when they were being fed nutritious food. Russell is a brain surgeon and I have read his book "Excitotoxins the Taste That Kills" and have listened to several of his lectures on the dangers of MSG and Aspartame for years. Since I do nutritional counseling and I am interested in my own health I like to share as much of this information as possible. So I imagine you may say I found my passion about 20 years ago when I started getting severe reactions to soy products and MSG. Dr. Blaylock was also discussing how studies done in Sweden with schizophrenics had all of their symptoms disappear when they were taken off food they were allergic too.
Well it is appointment time again. Have Fun

Health Health Health

2008-12-15T00:48:00.000-08:00

What is interesting about health is how so many people do their best to avoid it. Yesterday I went to a play and at the end people asked for donation for AIDS and it really floored me. AIDS like cancer according to some people is very easy to fix and it concerns me that so many people try to make something difficult that is very simple. I worked with one person that I am aware of that was diagnosed with AIDS years ago and was probably one of the most resistant people that I have met. There are a few good books that I read years ago when I was going through my AIDS phase that give a very interesting view of the experience. EMERGING VIRUSES by Leonard Horowitz, AIDS AND THE DOCTORS OF DEATH by Dr. Alan Cantwell and AIDS BIOLOGICAL WARFARE by Thomas Bearden retired Lt. Col.. They give a very different perspective on this particular situation and this just starts to open up the door. All of these books say that the dis-ease is man made and gets into the details of how people were infected.
My point of view has always been go to the source of the problem. Viruses will only manifest if the proper environment is created. Without the proper environment dis-ease will never manifest in the body.

Fear

2008-12-09T06:55:00.000-08:00

Even though fear can be good to keep us out of trouble it also has the ability to shut down the immune system. It takes us out of the moment and stop us from feeling joy. Sunday night I went to a comedy club because a friends had extra tickets and I found myself caught up in thinking about something else and didn't enjoy much of the show. A lot of time people are so trapped up into the past or the future that we forget about enjoying now. Now, where we are probably safe and secure even if it is just for the moment.
Another think fear does is drain our energy, it stop us from "thinking straight" and can paralyze our body. Remember falling in love and all you wanted to do was spend time with that special person? Then years later your still with that special someone but all of the sudden we start worrying about bills or something else and completely miss the moment we are having with them.
Now people are "worrying" about the economy or something else just as devastating which makes a solution hard to find when our brains are cloudy. When we worry it can be very hard to find a solution that could be right in front of us if we just calm down and relax take a deep breath to clear our mind. One of the things I help people with at The Positive Living Center is help people learn to relax so the options or solutions can be recognized easier.
I imagine you are having fun.

740,000

2008-12-09T00:48:00.000-08:00

I was listening to a talk with Dr. Bruce Lipton from 2005 on conscious media network and he said 740,000 people dies in hospitals every year from medical care. So why is it that people are in such a hurry to get to these people. Is it because everyday commercials and advertisements that tell us that this is what we should do? Are there any advertisements that are telling us something better? I have been doing my best for about 20 years to teach people that there is something better, but do you think they listen? Some people just run the other way when I tell them the truth that I have learned from other researchers, medical doctors, ex-medical doctors and naturopath it is like they have a destiny to fulfill. The one that seem most resistant are the ones that are already have had some of their organs removed and don't want to admit they are a part of the problem. Some of my own family are that way. I can even say I need to do a better job myself. I worked in hospitals much of my life and I saw so many people that were just destined to be patients.
I would hear the doctors and nurses talk and it would make me angry how these supposedly educated people don't have a clue as to what health in even though they call it the health care system. What can we do? What can I do to help prevent any of this?

What would happen

2008-12-04T03:50:00.000-08:00

What would happen if all of a sudden disease would begin to disappear from the planet? Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was healthy like our body was designed? Our body is a self correcting system and when it is given the proper fuel it will do just that, create healthy cells.
Problems arise when we eat artificially created products that are sold to us as food. Our body is designed to live on certain nutrients just like we are designed to live on air in this environment, but when our air is poisoned and the nutrients are destroyed with heat and the manufacturing process is when we are on the road to destruction.
Everyday we breathe chemicals in the air, we are exposed to electrical fields, drink water that is full of antibiotics, Prozac, fluoride (that causes cancer) and eat things that "taste good", but don't have any nutritional value, all the nutrients that create health are cooked out.
People gain "weight" because the body is trying to get those poisons out of the blood stream and it creates a storage area by creating fat. Fat is just stored toxins and indigestible food.
I have to admit that I have some of these issues myself when I am around people that are food addicts. One of the reasons that people are overweight and unhealthy is because of what they stick in their mouth. How many commercials are on the television every hour that are trying to sell us something that "taste good", but doesn't feed the body or attribute to our health? I have sat down before and counted the commercials just to see how much information we are being exposed to. In my whole life of 54 years I may have seen about 2 commericals that were about food that may have been healthy and that is a shame. It is not called the "boob tube" for no reason. David Icke calls it the hypnotists in the corner. What the TV does is puts us in a trance state where they can feed information that will make us hungry, feel self-conscious about our body and get us to buy things we don't need.
Every invention I have ever seen does something the body already does. We are intuitive beings we can get along with phones because we are all naturally intuitive. We can get away from vehicles because we are mobile by ourselves. We can make natural choices of what to eat because our tongue tells us what is good for us until they sprinkle them with chemicals that are addictive.
I have gone through all of this myself. The addiction starts when we are growing in our mothers body. She eats the chemicals and we absorb them. So when we are born most people are already addicted to chemicals like MSG (monosodium glutamate) that is in most processed foods and is even in a pesticide made by Monsanto. Most people don't even know what food looks like in a field. I have been through this myself, if I see it growing in a field I can recognize it, but once it gets in a box with a pretty picture on it somehow it is supposed to become digestible.
Once it come out of an oven or a microwave it is just wishful. One hundred or two hundred years ago we ate stuff that mostly came out of the earth, an earth that was full of minerals if it wasn't over worked. Today the planet is being poisoned with products that are being artificially made and operate differently than nature does. Nature recycles itself, what the chemical companies are making today only poison the soil for hundreds, thousands or even millions of years. When is all of this foolishness going to stop? The rise of serious disease is proportional the toxins that are in our environment.
All of these chemical weapons that are devistating the people overseas are floating back here in the windstream and this information is not being reported in the news. While everybody is sitting around and cheering as the government is killing millions of people over some trumped up story the blow back is coming towards us infection the air that we breath as they cheer. So this is why I feel it is important for people to get as much information as possible so that we can be as healthy as we want to be.
There are ways of protecting ourselves from much if not all of these problems if we just wake up and realize that life can be different and that disease isn't something that we have to plan for and that we don't have to become a part of the problem.

Happiness

2008-12-01T06:52:00.000-08:00

One of the things I constantly forget is about being happy and finding something everyday to be grateful for. It is so easy to focus on the things in our lives that are different than we would like. Sometimes things acutally turn out better than are planned. Sometimes people may realize that maybe their thoughts/attitudes about life need to change to get what they want instead of getting what they don't want. It is our unconscious thoughts much of the time that creates our reality and Quantum Physics is proving that now. If you have ever seen the movie/documentary "What the Bleep ####" it talks about how we actually create our reality and it may be much different that how we have learned.
When I talk to clients I am listening for how they sabotage themselves. I used to teach a class on self-sabotage and it can be easy to change some of our thoughts and I am making some CD's just for that purpose. Depending on how engrained these processes are and how much a person is willing to let go determines for a large extent how easily a change can happen. When I listen to people it tells me what I need to know when I am helping them change these old habits.
I go through this too. Everyone once in a while (maybe more than that) I hear myself saying something that I need to change and I will make a session on disk that I can listen to maybe once a day or more or even at night as the conscious mind go to sleep.

For some reason

2008-11-30T06:00:00.000-08:00

For some reason I have felt compelled to go against the grain and say watch out for that bump in the road. The horror stories for me started even before my first day on the job at the hospital when I heard of a person that went into the emergency room because of a pain in his back. The next day they sent him home because they couldn't find anything wrong with him and then he died in his sleep. What happens when the professionals can't help. Eventually I got to the point where I realized I was better off on my own without their green and blue pills and it has been 22 years since I have seen a medical doctor. One of my teachers started out as a medical doctor and after a year he said that he thought about changing careers because he realized after a year that his patients weren't getting better, they were just returning with the same problems. For over 20 years I have been studying health and find that it is very different and can be achieved in a much different way than the professionals tell us. Our body is a self correcting system and will achieve health if we let it.
The problem arises when we continue to go to people for advice that don't have the answers, if they did they would have it themselves. Some people feel we could live a healthy happy life to 120-140 years so why do we believe that 60 or 80 is some kind of miracle, because that is what we are told to think. We don't realize that people all around us are telling us what to think, what to say and what to look like.
I was watching a show on DVD the other day and the star of the show has had so much plastic surgery they really look bad. I have seen some women that used to be so pretty surgically alter themselves until they look terrible. They pay thousands of dollars to look different because they will not take care of their body. Even now cosmetic surgeons are advertising on the radio so that you can alter the way you look, the problem with this is that the people still don't like themselves after the surgery. We are not trained to be happy. We are trained to disapprove of ourselves imagining if we change our hair color of get rid of that gray that somehow we will like ourselves instead of just accepting the fact that these are just symptoms of not taking care of ourselves. I am guilty of that also. I know what to do and most of the time I do take care of myself, yet there are times when I may meeting someone new of with friends or family members that I bend all of the rules, find myself on a path of self destruction and have to get back on track again.
So I studied Naturopathy, the lymphatic system, Iridology and other information so I can keep myself going and I really enjoy helping others find a similar path when that is what they want. A person can't just want to be healthy though, they have to do what is necessary to achieve it. If you want to dance, you can't do it from a chair.
What can we do to get back on track? Do you want to or just wait for the inevitable? There must be some reason that we are here instead of just waiting to die. I saw a couple of bands play last night. I have to say in their own right these people were very talented. I can tell they spent a lot of time and energy to express these skills. They didn't just pick up an instrument and start playing, they watched, they learned and probably even dreamed about it. It took years to develop the skill they were displaying and even if it wasn't my favorite type of music I know they are dedicated. When I see a painting I know that that artist is expressing something that came from deep inside of them, a passion.
That same type of passion is something that drives me to help people if I can, but it only works if someone has a commitment. Since this holiday is over I've recommitted myself to eating better AGAIN. Sometimes I find it easier when I am with my family just to give in even though I know I am going to be sick later. Then when I am by myself again I can get back on track and back to what I feel I need to do.
I love people, I don't always understand them, yet I deeply care when people come to me for help. I see my clients as friends, sometimes as long lost friends. Sometimes it really hurts when I see people doing things that are really destructive, and that is something I have to let go of. I guess it is their right to suffer if they want to. When I went to eat with my family last holiday I saw these people that are educated that don't take care of themselves. They are highly educated but don't know how to take care of themselves. They are good at their job, but can't take care of themselves. It is just what I am trained to do, to observe. Peoples skin, hair, nails and eyes tell so much about what is going on in the body and what many people do is cover up those symptoms of poor health with dies and polish, but the face never lies. I was looking at my relatives, some much younger than me showing signs of poor health. I mean some serious health problems for their age sitting around making themselves sick and playing games. I've seriously thought about avoiding the holidays because I see so much tragedy ahead for them.
Sometimes I feel like I am standing out in traffic waving my hands saying there is danger ahead but no one listens.
I went over to a friends house recently and was watching them feed their children suckers and refined sugar and telling them they loved them in their own way. That is like feeding someone poison and saying I love you. We live in a very backward world.
I've worked with and on a lot of people over the last 20 years that have had some terrible things happen to them. Some of the things I hear and see people do is so convoluted. In 1979 I started working with people using hypnosis and relaxation techniques to help them solve some of the problems in their lives. I have to say that it brought me a lot of joy to help people feel better and I imagine that is why I still do my best today, because those few people that actually make significant changes make up for all of the people that like to drag their feet.
It also continues to reinforce for me that I have to continue to do something that is good for me and if I fall down I just get back up again and get on the right path. Maybe the right path for everyone is different. I have to continue to remember that when people are resisting some that is good many times it is because of an addiction, either physical or emotional. Why is it that we continue to be so self-distructive sometimes? Do we learn by doing something right or something wrong best? We don't learn to walk the first time, we stand up and fall down, stand up and fall down until our body gets all the muscle coordinated and we walk fine. It is the same with health, we get sick, we get better, maybe, we get sick, we get better and then we have the options of following the natural laws of our body. Our body was designed in a certain way and when we follow those natural laws everything falls into place and everything works the way it can. That is different than the way it should, the way it can is what happens when we stop listening to all of these commercials about how "good" it taste. It "taste" good because their are drugs in it that tricks the brain into believing something that may have been heated to over 400 degrees is actually digestable. If you sat in an oven for hours at 400 degrees do you think you would come out alive? Of course not, and everything that is truely good for you will only digest properly if it isn't heated above your natural body temperature or else we would eat tin cans and be able to digest them.
So many of the supplements on the market won't be digested or absorbed into you body. My theory is that if it won't start digesting in your mouth it won't digest in the stomach or be absorbed in the intestines. What I am thinking of now is these calcium supplements that everyone is so fond of that are made from coral. Have you ever tried to put a piece of coral in you mouth, it will not digest, so how is that going to help you. Most of the supplements are the market are fragmented products that will only cause other problem now or later.

Positive Living Center

2008-11-29T10:50:00.000-08:00

Our objective at the positive living center is always to focus on health. Now sometime people have ideas about what that is supposed to mean. Sometimes because people have preconceived ideas it may interfere with a true healing. I get call everyday that a people want a certain method because they read about it in a magazine when the same thing could be arrived at by doing a similiar techinique that will achieve the same result. But because they are not hearing xyz they may completely miss the point.
The goal in my opinion is that we reach a ultimate goal which is health.

How do you handle stress

2008-11-28T05:19:00.000-08:00

What are the ways that you deal with stress? Some people smoke because it appears to make them calm for a few minutes. Some people might drink, but you know how you feel the next day. Some people might go to a doctor for medication. What if there was a different way to do that? Do you think you would try it out? Something that would be safe and inexpensive and help you relax.
It could be something as simple as getting a massage or trying some relaxation techniques. One example of what you can do is stop your negative self talk. When people are under stress they can start out bringing up all the negative self images they have of themselves, not being good enough, never being tall enough, never being beautiful enough, never getting good enough grades etc. So much of the negative self talk we have whether we are conscious of it or not tie into all the habits (such as eating, smoking, drinking, etc) that are self destructive. People eat when they are emotional, because food acts like a drug temporarily to suppress their feelings, it is a distraction for the 1,2 or maybe even 3 hours that people will "graze" on snacks that only drive their body into a poorer state of health. Drinking only makes things worse by eating up all of your nutrients in your body throwing the chemistry of you body off and potentially leading to symptoms that can be labeled as depression.
The last several years that I have been helping people with stop smoking, I felt the reason people smoke was to suppress feelings of anger. A lot of people may not agree with that and that is OK. Many people smoke when they are upset, when they have argued with a spouse of friend, there is that cigarette that they may call a friend. This is a friend that will give you a headache, clog up your lungs and deprive your body of oxygen which is your most important nutrient of the day.
At www.positivelivingcenter.net we do our best to find out what is causing your stress with you to help you change things so that old habits can be changed to better ones. Lot of people talk about health as they are going through the fast food line and further complicating whatever is going on. It is time for a change? Sometimes we just get to a point where we know today is the day that we can get the help we need and stick with it. Learn to love and appreciate your body and yourself.

Back to the basics

2008-11-26T15:54:00.000-08:00

One of the reasons that I got in to natural health care is because I worked in hospitals much of my life. I saw a lot of records. I didn't have direct patient care, but I did get to see a lot of things that taught me I didn't want to become a patient. After seeing pictures of the insides of people bodies, watching operations and seeing kidney stones, gall stones and such I realized that I needed to start taking better care of myself. In 1993 I took a course that taught me a lot about healing the body easily and quickly most of the time without invasive procedures. After finishing my certification as a Naturopath I thought I was well on the way of helping people. It seems thought that a lot of people just have some natural desire to ride in an ambulance or have surgery. What I found is that the people that seem the most resistant were the ones that needed the most help. Most of the time I found that the sicker people are the harder they are to get along with. Generally their body is so toxic that they become indifferent.
How many TV shows do you see that talk about Natural Health Care. I haven't seen one. I have realized that the reason all of these doctors shows that are on are being supported by the medical business through advertising. I have sat down and counted how many drug ads I have seen on particular shows and it is enlightening. Because of some of the experiences I had when I worked in the hospital most of the staff aren't anything like you see on TV and it was always interesting listening to nurses and doctors talk when they are away from the patients. Many of them aren't like the doctors we see in the TV shows that I grew up with. They work long hours for the most part and are prone to mistakes. The methods I have learned to use like Iridology, reflexology and just plain old good observation told me I don't need anyone to donate blood, urine or get an x-ray to get a good idea of what is going on in the body. A lot of my teachers were Naturopath's, Herbalist, Medical Doctors, Chiropractors, Ex-Medical Doctors, Ex-Medical School teachers etc. It is easy to find out in a few minutes what is going on in a persons body without all the fluff and expense and the way to correct the problem is much easier than taking a medications the rest of your life that just cause your kidneys to fail, give you liver cancer or just make you suicidal. Just get out a PDR (physicians desk reference) and if you feel like taking that medication after reading the side effects "good luck".
My first job in a hospital my boss told me he was taking 17 medications a day and that set an alarm off in my head. It still took me a number of years before I started doing some things right, but I used to hear so many horror stories I knew that I had to do something. There are so many people out there now that are sharing good solid information about health, but sometimes they can be hard to find. I met a woman that used to be a heart surgeon and 15 years ago here doctor friends told her she didn't have long to live. Now she is a Naturopath and mysteriously still alive even though her Dr. buddies told her she was going to die. I was working a health fair many years ago and I met a man that was told that he was going to die unless he had a quadruple bypass. That was 20 before I met him. Against the wishes of his family he left the hospital and made some dynamic changes in his life and he was alive when I saw his last and he never got the surgery. Doctors are designed to scare the hell out of you by telling you something is urgent. They are afraid that if you get out of the hospital and do something good for yourself they have lost a lot of income. You can't make a mercedes payment on good wishes. I met a surgeon once that told me he relaxed by doing hysterectomies. I have met some good doctors and I have also seen some kicked out of their groups because they were known as butchers.
At the hospital I worked at they treated the doctors like they were "God" and the rest of the staff like trash. The sick part is the hospitals will tell you how important you are and that you are sacred and still treat you like a moron. Nothing was more intersting than listening to all the staff talk about their operations like they were awarded the bronz star. A lot of people in hospital like to sit around and talk about their medications and surgeries, it seems to give them a feeling of importance. Dr. Joel Wallach said on his tape "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" that medical doctors die about 10 before their patients and I saw enough doctors records to believe that that is true. I haven't taken any medication in 22 years and I only had one operation when I was 15 and if I knew then what I know now all I would have had to do was stop drinking pasteurized milk and ice cream and I never would have had to see them again about would have saved my tonsils which are an important part of the lymph system. If they can "fix" it with medicine they will just cut it out and put you on another medication for the rest of your life if you don't watch out.
Is it time to let go of your stress and start treating yourself right so that you don't come down some serious problem that could have been avoided? Visit positivelivingcenter.net and find out how.

2008-11-26T14:54:00.000-08:00

I have been studying nutrition for the last 20 years and a lot of the information out there is of poor quality and will only lead you down a path to poor health. What I have found with working with many vitamin companies is that they will tell you anything they have to, to get you to buy their products and I believe that 90% of the supplements on the market aren't worth putting in your mouth, as a matter of fact they can cause many vitamin deficiency problems because of the way they are processed and put together. I found that as soon as you learn to ask the right questions many of the companies don't want to talk to you anymore. One companies I used to be affiliated with stop talking to me when I asked them is their products were synthetic. I just wrote a well known multi-level vitamins company and asked them if any of their products were synthetic. I will see if I get a response.
It took me a long time to muddle through information on nutrtion to find that much of it isn't worth reading. Most of it is just an advertisement. Synthetic vitamins work differently in the body then whole foods do and they are fragmented, nothing near the value of a whole food. Plus we don't have any idea how the food was grown and what was sprayed on it.
Sometimes we put too much trust in people that are selling us these products.
I get a box of organically grown food 9 months out of the year and I know the person that is growing it, I have visited the farm and I have confidence in him. It can be important to grow our own food if possible or support local farmers that are health conscious.
Best Wishes

Since I am a natural health professional I am always concerned about health. I watch people eat if I am out and realize that most people eat for entertainment instead of health, it is just the way we are trained. As we grow up we eat things that "taste" good, instead of healthy for us. Product (food manufacturers) have found that if they put enough transfats, sugar, msg and natural flavors (which are un-nattural) they can get people to eat anything. When I hear somebody say that "taste good" I want to see how much msg (monosodium glutamate) is in it. What msg does is make anything taste like the best meal you ever had, it also destroys the part of you brain that tell you when your stomach is full. I used to tell people if you put it on your shoe it would be the best meal you ever had. In the process of heating our foods the real "natural flavor" is destroyed. When something is sitting on a shelf for I to 6 months or longer that container is just filled with nutritionless goop that is disguised as food.
Product manufacturers know how to get us to eat the most flavorless products taste delicious. Our tongue can be fooled. As a matter of fact all you have to do is smell it and you want to eat it because of how it effects you brain. According to Dr. George Schartz putting msg on something can make you crave it for 48 hours after you eat it, I personally feel it is longer. If you want to read a good book on MSG read his book called "In Bad Taste", by Dr. Schwartz. MSG has been added to our foods since 1947 and causes some serious health problems that medical experts don't want you to know about. I know people that have gone to the emergency room after having a msg allergic reaction. Reactions to msg include rapid heart rate, drowsyness, hives, rashes etc. Truthinlabeling.org has a very good list of how they are disguised in your food and what kind of side effects they have.
I used to work in a hospital that served a lot of soy and one night I got this trememdous headache that wouldn't go away and I started breaking out in a rash. It certainly woke me up. All soy products have msg in them. Soy is not a health food, even though the product industry would like you to believe that. Soy is a by product (garbage) left over after they squeeze out all of the oil. For approximately the last 40 years they have been trying to convince us their garbage is food. It is heated to high to be of any nutritional value and is in almost everything that is in a package including most products in a health food store. If you want to be health stay away from soy it stops you from absorbing some very important minerals.

Health is something that can be important to some. Some people just throw caution to the wind because they are too busy.
