Sugar Addiction
There have been a number of articles on the wire news services in the past few weeks about the health (and psychological) problems associated with diet sodas and soft drinks in general. We've posted a few of these stories at our web site (http://educate-yourself.org/aspartame/aspartameart29jan0.shtml).

Kids, as you might have notice, easily become addicted to soft drinks. Why? It's due to the  addictive nature of REFINED SUGARS.

You mean sugar is addictive?... like drugs or alcohol?

Yes,  it's extremely addictive.

If you eat just one chocolate, don't most people have a strong urge to eat another one? Cravings for any REFINED substance is a CLEAR indication of an addiction. If you have one beer and you've just gotta have 2 , 3 or 4 more, then-believe me- you're ADDICTED to alcohol (which is a pure form of sugar by the way). It's nothing to be ashamed of, but don't try to kid yourself. Recognize these addictive qualities of modern drink/food and realize that they are harmful to your health, longevity, clarity of mind, and above all, your energy level. Read the label on any regular can of soda and see how many grams of sugar are included: 17 grams, 22 grams, 24 grams, etc. It varies somewhat, but it's the equivalent of  6-10 teaspoons of table sugar-in one 12 oz glass of liquid. That's a lot of sugar by anybody's standard. And that's only in one can. Do soda drinkers usually drink just one can a day?

Diet Sodas
Diet sodas are even a bigger mistake. Aspartame, Nutra Sweet, etc. are POISONS and are well documented to cause a host of physiological and neurological problems in both kids and adults-including cancers. The alternative health media has been warning of the dangers of artificial sweetners for at least 25 years. Since the evidence is so voluminous, overwhelming,  and damning, reports are now FINALLY showing up in so-called peer reviewed journal like Lancet. As is the case with orthodox medicine in general, mainstream medical journals are about 25 years behind the information curve (by design or intransigence born of arrogance). Mind you, it's not that attempts weren't made to submit goof studies on the dangers of artificial sweetners to these pro-pharmaceutical corporate dinosaurs for publication. It's just that they have consistently REFUSED to publish the data-until now; when the corporate and government LIARS can no longer keep a lid on their LIES.  Of course, when Big Bucks are at stake, you will always get studies funded (by Guess Who) which will 'prove' that this poison is "absolutely safe". However, in reality there are thousands of LEGITIMATE studies on the downsides of artificial sweetners. You can get to many of them from the articles linked above, but if you're limited on time, simply heed this advice: Avoid ALL foods with artificial sweetners and NEVER drink diet sodas-especially where children are concerned.

Munchies
Oh yes, I know how good they taste, but do you know how ruinous they are to your health? Potato chips (or is it potatoe? Hmmm... I 'll have to call my friend Dan Quayle and check), Doritos, Cheetos, etc., etc.  may grab your taste buds, but they're dragging you down into Low Energy City. These puffed up (half empty) bags of snack "foods" are even more processed, more de-vitalized, and deader than the typical de-vitalized, processed, and dead foods found in cans and boxes on yet other shelves in the supermarket that you might think are the "good" foods that you're putting on your diner plates. You can't have it both ways.Of course, salt or sugar is intentionally added to processed foods by commercial food manufacturers because they send your taste buds into overdrive and you quickly become addicted to them. How else are they going to get you to keep on buying bag after bag of their puffed up dead stuff?

You can't eat dead foods and expect to extract vibrant life from it. They each exist on opposite ends of the spectrum. Cut up raw celery, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, apples, asparagus, fruit slices, etc. and munch on these life-giving foods for snacks, not the fluffed up, packaged junk. You could also snack on raw, unsalted, unroasted  nuts and seeds for variety. Trail mixes and granolas are occasionally OK, but they have too much honeyed/sugared components added to them. Stick with Nature's original packaging for the majority of your snack food.

Juicing
If you want energy, if you want life, you must consume  foods that are still alive. I'm talking about freshly picked raw (organic preferred) veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, etc. that are consummed in a raw state. Juicing vegetables and fruits is the easiest and most practical way to get these vital, life giving nutrients directly into your bloodstream in the shortest possible time (10-15 minutes). The enzymes, vitamins , and minerals found in the raw vegetable colloidal state are lost or are converted into a less vitalized form after heating above 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Dr Norman Walker, often called the Father of Juicing in America, lived until the age of 119 years. He enjoyed his life briming with vigor, vitamins, and mental clarity because he juiced every day.

Some people assume that the puree of vegetables made with a blender or food processor must be even better since it contains the whole vegetable, fiber and all. But that is an erroneous assumption! Your body needs a lot of time and energy to process all that fiber. It takes only a fraction of the time and a fraction of the body's digestive energy to get juice into your bloodstream (Of course, you need fiber, but you'll get it from the whole veggies you have as part of your meals). The best type of juicer is the type that first grinds the veggies and then extracts the juice with a hydraulic press. This type is also the most expensive. The second best choice is the typical centrifugal type seen in most stores. The bigger the better, but even a small inexpensive juicer is better than no juicer at all. Dr. Max Gerson of Gerson Institute fame, ran tests in the 1950's on the quantity and quality of nutrients extracted using both types of juicers and found the grinder/hydraulic press type produces a far richer juice. If you're trying to get over a serious disease like cancer, get the grinder/hydraulic press type.
 
Meat
If you want to eat meat, the cleanest form of meat available is fresh, cold water ocean fish. Squid, by the way, is extremely clean, yet cheap to buy. It swims and spawns in open ocean, grows quickly, eats low on the food chain and is not a bottom feeder. All desireable attributes when looking for unpolluted meat. Avoid land based meats as much as possible.

Natural Therapies
How few people know about colloidal silver! It drives me crazy. Here we have a natural substance that Nature has ordained to act as a natural antibiotic, antimicrobial agent within the body and yet hardly ANYBODY knows about it!  98% of the people in this country are still running to their allopathic doctors and seeking pharmaceutical relief for this or that infection. Here we have mom, paying through the nose, for junior's ear infection "medicine" -when in fact she could easily clear it up (along with most other infective problems that junior encounters) with COLLOIDAL SILVER for next to nothing!

How the Body Works

Metabolism Rate
In Natural Health Newsletter #2, I outlined a simple temperature test that anyone can use to check on their metabolic rate. Your rate of metabolism tells you how efficiently your body is burning fuel. While body temperature normally varies a bit throughout the day, your temperature at wakeup is probably the best indicator of  base metabolic rate. Ideally, it should be close to 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If your wakeup temperature is in the 97 or 96 degree range, your base metabolic rate is too low. Now if you mention that to a nurse or doctor, they're going to tell you "Oh no, the body temperature can vary by a few degrees one way or the other. It's perfectly normal!" They say that because they've been taught that in school. I know, because I was taught the same thing when I went to school. But the assumption is wrong. "Normal" body temperature should not vary by more than a few tenths of a degree from 98.6 F.  Low body temperature means a low rate of metabolism and a low metabolic rate means a sluggish, low energy body.

Your thyroid gland (in your throat, wrapped around your Adam's apple) controls your rate of metabolism. Hypothyroidism is the condition that results from an underactive thyroid gland. A lot of people suffer from hypothyroidism and don't even know it. A lot of people do know, however, that they feel sluggish and have low energy. (Gee, I wonder if there's a connection?)

Hypothyroidism, by the way,  wasn't even recognized by the orthodox medical profession until the mid 80's or so. With typical arrogance, the AMA crowd repeatedly said "Nope, there's no such thing. It's all in your head!"  Of course, alternative healers like Naturopaths, said all along that the condition was real and caused many people undue hardships (But what do those quacks know anyway? Right, Dr Kildaire?).

The conventional treatment for hypothyroidism is to take thyroid supplements. There are two types: one is made synthetically, called Synthyroid, and the other is derived from the  thyroid gland of animals (usually cows) and is called Armorall.  Of the two, I would personally lean towards the natural form, Armorall. However, I would much prefer to try and stimulate the thyroid gland naturally in order to get it to secrete a sufficient amount of its own thyroid hormones and avoid taking any supplements at all.

But how can I do that?

Well, since you asked, I just happen to have a couple of suggestions sitting right here in front of me:

1. You can feed your thyroid gland with the nutrients that it needs and stimulate it into greater production with certain foods and herb formulas. Dr Dennis Wilson wrote a book in the early '90's outlining how to activate your thyroid gland with nutrition and herbs. I plan to cover Wilson's book  in greater detail in the near future, but for right now, I wanted to at least mention this avenue.

2. You can stimulate both the Aura and the thyroid directly with laser light therapy which  will stimulate the gland and its hormone production response.

A) Aura Stimulation: All life energy (Chi, Prana, etc.,.... many names) enters our body through the seven aura energy votices known as the chakras. Notice that I said "enters our body". The experts of the orthodox science community will tell you that life only manifests from within. They will tell you that life is a result of  INNER cellular activity and animation. When that INNER activity stops, YOU stop. While that explanation is partly true, it's not that cut and dry. There's a lot more to the story.

There is such a thing as the Life Force and it pervades throughout the entire universe. The Life Force enters our body via the aura chakra centers and animates us. Many scientists, such as Dr Valerie Hunt, who have looked for the Life force,  have been able to measure and quantify its presence. The Life Force originates in a higher dimension from which we exist. We are said to be in the 3rd Dimension. The etheric plane is said to be the interface between our dimension, the 3rd, and the next higher dimension, the 4th Dimension. Which dimension you find yourself in is based on your frequency or rate of vibration (trust me folks, we're ALL vibrating [ehh...no smiles from the ladies please] ).

The higher the dimension, the higher the frequency. The higher the frequency, the lighter and less dense you are. The lower the frequency, the more dense. . For example, ghosts are disembodied spirits who wish to remain close to the earth. They exist in the 4th dimension, but in the lower frequency range of the 4th, called the astral plane. Ghosts are less dense than we are and can see us readily, but we have a hard time seeing them because they are vibrating at a higher frequency than we and they appear transparent or "ghostlike" if we see them at all.

Getting back to the aura, beyond being the gateway through which the Life Force flows into us, the aura is also a reflection of the body's organ systems and energy levels. Weakening organ systems or disease conditions such as cancer appear in the aura months before they show up in the body as a physical manifestation.

Why is that?

Because the Life Force is flowing into you from the etheric plane. Many disease conditions begin on the etheric plane and work their way down to the lower frequency of the physical plane and eventually show up in the body. By the way, most chronic disease conditions begin as stress producing thoughts, specifically negative emotions (resentment, anger, hatred, fear, jealousy, envy, etc.), which  adversely affect your aura over time. Anyway, if you were to make a frequency correction in the aura, that correction would instantly manifest itself as a positive change on the physical plane. It can't work any other way. The aura is a perfect mirror of what's going on in the body (and the mind and the heart).
 
 Low power Laser pens typically produce a red covalent beam in the 620-660 nanometer range (abbrevivated "nm"). The nanometer number refers to the wavelength of the light. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Wavelenght is another way of relating the frequency of an electromagnetic wave. Frequency is usually stated as cycles per second (cps) or Hertz (Hz). While wavelenght is the linear distance (in meters) that the wave will travel in the time of one full cycle. Wavelenght and frequency are always mutually related. The shorter the wavelenght, the higher the frequency.

The two colors of the spectrum that have shown themselves to produce the greatest stimulating therapeutic effects are the red and the infrared frequency ranges. Laser power is expressed in watts. High power laser beams, of course, can burn and cut tissue, but lower power ranges (in the milliwatt range) will not injure tissue (always avoid the eyes though). Low power lasers are sometimes called cold lasers.

People in Europe and the Orient have been getting laser stimulation treatments from doctors for a few decades. It seems that we're just discoving this therapy in the past few years here in the United States (I wonder if the medical-pharmaceutical cartel had anything to do with that? Hmmm....). If you're anxious to spend your money, you can always find therapists who will provide this treatment, but why not get your own laser pen and learn how to do it yourself? The more technique you learn, the wider the range of applications. One method involves direct application to the skin over the area of concern. You touch the beam right to the body. The laser beam can penetrate anywhere from 5-45 millimeters depending on the tissue area and the patient. Amazingly, like fiber optics, the body will carry the laser beam energy deeper into the body and circulate it through the meridian system. Another method involves stimulating an accupuncture point (accupoint) with the laser beam. The accupoints on the surface of the ear, expecially, can produce spectacular results. Pulsing the light beam on and off will produce more dramatic results than steady beam application, but that is not to say that you should always pulse. It depends on what you're trying to do. I plan to post a lot more info on Light Therapy in the near future.
 
Recently, I stumbled across a small, light weight laser pen from China that has just blown me away. I wrote an article about it and posted it to the Current News page. You can easily conceal this laser pen in your fist, yet it demonstates 20 times more throwing power than my larger, longer, heavier and more expensive 5 inch laser pen. This pen is PERFECT for laser stimulation therapy. And right now (April 2000), you can obtain one from this web site for only $15.
 

Emerging Diseases
It's not hard to find articles about emerging diseases these days. They're plastered all over the news wire services. What's hard to find is the TRUTH about what's really going on with all the new diseases supposedly popping up everywhere. The government wants you to believe that guerilla cells of fanatical  terrorists are lurking in the shadows waiting to spring the Big Biological Attack against American cities any day now. They're offering the same lame 'reasons' for the outbreak of new exotic diseases in New York City today as they troted out in the mid 80's when they wanted us to believe that AIDS suddenly and unexpectedly appeared on the scene: Frequent flyers (don't you know?) are responsible for the explosive spread of all these nasty lethal bugs. The US Intelligence agencies that have been orchestrating this propaganda charade have been steadily peppering the news outlets with dire warnings of coming bioterrorist attacks. The only 'terrorists' you should be worrying about, however, are the home grown variety.

The governement, its many agencies, and the military are under the control of individuals who are implementing an agenda of the New World Order corporate elites to dismantle all of our liberties, disband the existing sovereign governments of the world, eliminate borders, create a world of mind-controlled zombie workers and drastically reduce the world's population.  Massive death through laboratory created bioengineered diseases is the planned vector to implement that reduction. You can prepare to defend your health by becoming self educated in how to defeat disease organisms with the many alternative, suppressed therapies that the FDA is trying its damndest to keep you from knowing about.

Vaccine Dangers
My advice is to avoid ALL vaccinations at any cost-expecially for kids. If you know someone in the military who is prepared to get out instead of getting that Anthrax shot, he is probably saving his life by doing so. Just ask the Gulf War Vets with Gulf War Illness. They were good little soldiers and took their (unrecorded and "special" )vaccinations, only to be told later by military doctors that their disease symptoms are 'all in their head'. The truth is that they were used as guinea pigs in a wide- sample experiment to see how many healthy young people would succumb to the bioengineered pathogens that they were lacing in with the Anthrax shot. These bugs are part of the bioengineered pathogens that these Illuminati henchmen (CIA, military intelligence, etc.) have been planing to use on large civilian populations-when the time is right- as part of their population "control" agenda.
 

The Mind-Body Connection

Dowsing, Part IB
I've recently attended my fourth weekend-long workshop with Walter Woods, one of the most amazing men that I've ever had the good fortune to meet. Walt is an extraordinary dowser and  researcher. He's also a highly gifted healer who has helped many people release themselves from physical and emotional suffering. Walt's humble appearance and soft spoken demeanor completely  belie the range of knowledge, experiences, and powers that this advanced soul has acquired over the years.

Walt has experienced things that you and I only can read about in esoteric books and articles (and other things that we've never read about). He has clearly demonstrated that the power of using the mind alone to heal and fix ANYTHING is LIMITLESS. I have at least 8 notebooks crammed with Walt's astounding lectures. When you read this stuff, it will knock you over (there are more things under the stars and sun than you can possibly imagine). Many more articles on the research efforts  of Walt Woods will appear at this web site in the very near future. Stay tuned!

If you contact the American Society of Dowsers (PO Box 24, Danville, VT 05828-0024;
Tel (802) 684-3417; E-Mail: ASD@dowsers.org), they will tell you the location of a Dowsers chapter that is nearest to you. I strongly urge you to go, look, and listen. If you decide to join and become a member, please mention my name on application form as the person who recommended you to the ASD (and let me know as well).

I related in the previous newsletter that I was practically dragged- kicking and screaming- to my first dowsers meeting many years ago by my good friend, Merlin Wolf. I was quite sure that I was going to be bored out of my mind. But surprise, surprise, I quickly realized that I was missing out on some of the best and most advanced "stuff" out there! Needless to say, I have not missed a meeting since.

I have about 15 books on dowsing, but the best dowsing "course" that I've ever taken was contained within a 24 page booklet put together by Walt called Letter to Robin.  This incredible booklet can teach anyone to be an accomplished dowser. Highly recommended (only $5 donation plus shipping).
