Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees, through distillation.
According to ancient Egytian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the sick. They are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetic known to man and were considered more valuable than gold.

There are 188 references to oils in the Bible. Some of the precious oils which have been used since antiquity for anointing and healing the sick are frankincense, myrhh, galbanum, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon and spikenard.

Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil and many others contains very high immune stimulating properties. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing substances found in essential oils.

How Aroma Therapy Works
The tissues that assimilate the negative ion energy of chee from air during breathing are located in the lining of the nasal cavities and sinuses, which is why inhalation must always be through the nose in breathing exercises, Though skin and lungs also absorb small amounts of chee, when it comes to detecting and extracting the bionic energy carried in air, ‘the nose knows best’. For example, the nose is sensitive enough to catch the scent of a rose all the way across a garden and distinguish its bouquet from a carnation. That’s because scent is chee and has bioactive properties when whiffed through the nose’s sensitive olfactory terminals.

The bioactive energy of scent and the nose’s ability to absorb it for therapeutic benefits are proven by the efficacy of aromatherapy, which has been used for millennia throughout the Orient to cure disease. Medieval Arab physicians noted the potent medicinal properties of scents when they observed that perfumeries and incense makers rarely suffered the ravages of cholera and other plagues which regularly swept through the Middle East.

Aromatherapy uses the essential oils of certain fragrant plants to cure specific ailments by exposing aromas in volatile form to the olfactory nerves in the nose, which are directly linked to the brain and the energy meridians. These essential oils are secreted in plants by special glands in the roots, stems, leaves and flowers. Botanists compare these secretions to the hormones secreted in animals.

The Yellow Emperor’s Classic states, ‘essence transforms into energy’. In other words, when the essential oils of aromatic plants are permitted to evaporate into the air, they release their energy as fragrance, and this energy is absorbed by the olfactory nerves when a waft of fragrance enters the nose.

Aromatherapy works only with scents derived from natural living sources, such as flowers, seeds and roots. Synthetic scents have ‘smell’ but no energy, and any sensitive nose can readily tell the difference. In 160, the French medical journal L’Hopital published an article on aromatherapy by Dr. J. Valent, in which he explains this mechanism as follows:

Carried by the bloodstream, the ionized plant aroma impregnates every corner of the body, powerfully revitalized the polarized and discharged cells, replenishes electronic shortages by recharging the bioelectromagnetic batteries, and disperses cellular residue by dissolving the viscous and diseased substances of body fluids. It oxidizes poisonous metabolic waste products, increases energy balance, frees the mechanism of organic oxidation and self-regulation, and reaches the lungs and kidneys, whence it is excreted or exhaled without trace.

That’s a fancy way of saying that natural aromas carry a potent, concentrated charge of active bioelectrical energy which enters the body through the lining of the nose and quickly exerts powerful therapeutic effects on all cells and tissues. An obvious example of this is smelling salts; a mere whiff of this powerful aromatic agent instantly revives the faint by jolting the brain with a strong pulse of bioenergy absorbed directly through the nose.

Thus we begin to realize the importance of the nose in correct breathing and energy balance.

RE-DISCOVERED

In 1920, a French cosmetic chemist named Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, Ph.D., while working in his laboratory, had an accident that resulted in third degree thermal burn of his hand and forearm. He plunged his arm into a vat of lavender oil, thinking that it was water. To his surprise, the burning slowly decreased and then stopped within a few moments. Over a period of time, with the continual application of lavender oil, the burn healed completely without a trace of a scar.
As a chemist, Dr. Gattefosse analyzed the essential oil of lavender and discovered that it contained many substances referred to as chemical constituents. As a result of this, he determined that essential oils contained tremendous healing properties.

He shared his experience with his colleague and friend, Dr. Jean Valnet, a medical doctor in Paris, France. During World War II, while serving as a medical physician in the French Army at the China Wall, treating war victims, Dr. Valnet ran out of antibiotics, so he decided to try using essential oils. To his amazement, they had a powerful effect in reducing and even stopping the infection, and he was able to save many of the soldiers who otherwise might have died even with antibiotics.

Dr. Valnet had two students who did their internship with him who were responsible for expanding his work. Dr. Paul Belaiche and Dr. Jean Claude Lapraz. They discovered that essential oils contain antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties as well as being powerful oxygenators with the ability to act as carrying agents in the delivery of nutrients INTO the cells of the body.

NOTE: One of the causes of disease in both plants and the human body is the inability of nutrients to penetrate the cell wall. Unless there is an adequate delivery agent to assist the cell to receive needed nutrients, the cell becomes deprived of nutrition, its wall thickens, preventing delivery of nutrients. This causes cell deterioration, leading to cell mutation, creating a host for bacteria and disease. If your food supplement program has seemingly hit a “wall of limitation,” it may be for the above reason.

One of the many incredible aspects of the oils is their amazing ability to penetrate and carry nutrients through the cell wall to the cell nucleus. They literally “fly” through the thickest cell walls. This is so due to the oxygenating molecules found in the oils which transport the nutrients, then delivers them through the cell for feeding the nucleus. The oils are nature’s most effective catalyst and delivery agent for feeding cells.

How Essential Oils Work

“Aromatherapy” is a phrase coined by Rene-Maurice Gattefosse, Ph.D., in 1920, who was a French cosmetic chemist. While working in his laboratory, he had an accident that resulted in a third degree thermal burn of his hand and forearm. He plunged his arm into a vat of lavender oil, thinking that it was water. To his surprise, the burning slowly decreased and then stopped within a few moments. Over a period of time, with the continual application of lavender oil, the burn healed completely without a trace of a scar. As a chemist, he analyzed the essential oil of lavender and discovered that it contained many substances referred to as chemical constituents or chemical properties. As a result of this, Dr. Gattefosse determined that essential oils contained tremendous healing properties.
Dr. Gattefosse shared his experience with his colleague and friend, Dr. Jean Valent, a medical doctor in Paris, France. During World War II, while serving as a medical physician in the French Army at the China Wall, treating war victims, Dr. Valent ran out of antibiotics, so he decided to try using essential oils. To his amazement, they had a powerful effect in reducing and even stopping the infection, and he was able to save many of the soldiers who otherwise might have died even with antibiotics.

Dr. Valent had two students who did their internship with him who were responsible for expanding his work, Dr. Paul Belaiche and Dr. Jean Claude Lapraz. They discovered that essential oils contain antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties as well as being powerful oxygenators with the ability to act as carrying agents in the delivery of nutrients into the cells.

For example, if you take a geranium plant and tear the leaf or the stem, a clear liquid will appear. This liquid is a very subtle and volatile essence that exudes from the damaged tissues of the leaf. So it is with the human body. With a cut or scrape, we see the flow of blood from that opening in the skin.

One significant difference between the blood and the plant liquid is the color. In the resin or oil being released from the plant, we find trace elements of nutrients, hormones, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, antibodies, and antifungal, antibacterial, anti-infectious, antiseptic, and immune-stimulating properties. Another key agent found present in that resin is OXYGEN. Oxygen molecules are part of the chemical elements of the resin, such as alcohols, phenols, esters, sesquiterpenes, terpinols, etc., which together create an essential oil.

The plant releases the oil in order to clean the break, kill bacteria and start the regeneration process. When blood is released because of broken skin, it is for the same purpose: to clean the wound, kill the bacteria, prevent infection, and begin the healing and regeneration process. A simple comparison of the plant and the human body shows us a precise similarity, as both the oil and the blood are the transporters of the fundamental nutrients necessary to feed and nurture the cells.

Furthermore, the essential oil has the ability in its chemical structure to penetrate the cell wall and transport oxygen and nutrients inside the cell, thus increasing cellular oxygen and giving more support to the immune system. Research has shown that with their immune-stimulating properties, essential oils enhance and support the building of the immune system, whether they are inhaled or rubbed on the body topically. Even those who contract a cold or the flu recover 70 percent faster using essential oils.

It has been said that when essential oils are diffused in the home, they have the ability to increase the atmospheric oxygen, as they release oxygenating molecules into the atmosphere. Oils increase ozone and negative ions in the home, which inhibit bacteria growth. This prevents and destroys existing odors from mold, cigarettes, animals, etc. Essential oils have the electrical magnetic attraction to fracture the molecular chain of chemicals and take them out of the air, rendering them non-toxic to the body. Scientists in European countries have found that essential oils will bond to metallics and chemicals and carry them out of the body, working as natural chelators, inhibiting these toxic substances from staying in the tissues. Essential oils remove dust particles out of the air and, when diffused in the home, can be the greatest air filtration system. These are all wonderful attributes of essential oils.

Essential oils can be extracted from plants, trees, seeds, flowers, petals, stems, roots, bark, or even the whole plant. Today, about 200 different types of oils are being distilled with several thousand chemical constituents and aromatic molecules that have been identified and registered. These aromatic Substances and compounds within the oils will alter and change based on weather conditions, climate, temperatures, and distillation factors. Today, 98 percent of essential oils are used in the perfume and cosmetic industry. In 1991, only 1/2 percent was used for Aromatherapy. In 1993, 2 1/2 percent were produced for Aromatherapy or for therapeutic and medicinal application.

Essential oils are recognized as being the greatest substances for increasing cellular oxygen through their normal function. When applied to the body by rubbing on the feet, essential oils will travel throughout the body and affect every cell, including the hair, within 20 minutes. They may have a lasting effect for as long as five months from only one application. The oils do not build up and store in the body because they are very subtle and volatile and have a high evaporation rate. Because of their chemical structure, they are metabolized like other nutrients in the cells.

One of the causes of disease in both the plant and the human body is the inability of nutrients to penetrate the cell wall, causing cell deterioration, leading to cell mutation, creating a host for bacteria and disease.

The integral part of the nose responsible for odor detection is the olfactory, consisting of two membranes, one on each side of the mucous membrane covering the bony extension of the nose. The olfactory membranes are very tiny and are well protected by the casing of the nose. They contain about 800 million nerve endings for processing and detecting odors. These nerve endings are triggered from a signal from the genes along the inside passage of the nose. The olfactory hair-like nerves receive the micro-fine, vaporized oil particles, carrying them along the axon of the nerve fibers, connecting them with the synapse of the secondary neurons in the olfactory bulb. The impulses carried to the limbic system and the olfactory sensory center at the base of the brain, pass between the pituitary and pineal gland and then to the amygdala, which is the memory center for fear and trauma. The impulses then travel to the gustatory center where the sensation of taste is perceived.

Only in 1989 was it discovered that the amygdala plays a major role in storing and releasing emotional trauma, and only odor or fragrance stimulalation has a profound affect in triggering a response with this gland. Dr. Joseph Ledoux, of the New York Medical University, feels that this could be major break-through in releasing emotional trauma.

People who have turbinate problems, such as a deviated septum, polyps, or who have had nose surgery, may have a very difficult or impossible time detecting the complete odor. The same holds true for people who have worn a lot of make-up, perfume and cologne or used hair sprays, hair colorings, perms and other products with synthetic odors. Many olfactory hairs respond to only one kind of odor molecule, and simultaneously others will respond to several different kinds of odors. This tells us that not all of the receptors are stimulated at the same time in the presence of odorous vapors.

The olfactory nerves are very much like other nerves and organs in the body. They also respond to electrical signals and impulses that form coded messages that are dispatched to various areas of the body. This may be why some oil inhalation will increase endorphin, neurotransmitter and antibody production.

Fragrance is one of man’s greatest enjoyments, bringing back memories of past experience and creating a feeling of security, grounding and well-being.”

Through fragrance a variety of special feelings are transmitted…relaxation, stimulation, happiness, and achievement. A leading neurologist in America explains “of all the senses, smell has the greatest impact on human emotions.”

Smell receptors in the nostrils are directly linked to the limbic system. Smell is the only sense that bypasses mental judgement and interpretation and goes straight to the center of emotions. This makes smell the most effective way to influence emotion.

A study at the University of Cincinatti revealed that scent in the office significantly boosted alertness and productivity in computer operators. This supports the earlier findings of Japanese researchers who found that fragrance significantly reduced errors among workers by as much as 54%!

Similar results have been obtained in many other studies. Clearly, Aroma Therapy can not only make you work environment more pleasant, but it can increase employee productivity and profits!

Chemistry
“Essential oils are chemically very diverse in their effect and cause different actions, unlike synthetic chemicals, which have basically one action. For example, lavender has been used for burns, insect bites, headaches, PMS, insomnia, stress, etc. Plants in nature are chemical factories. They take in the elements of the sun and earth, light and darkness, individually to receive the energy, converting them into molecules, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Essential oils are made up of chemical groups and individual chemistry elements. Oxygen, as the key element in essential oils, plays an extremely important role along with other chemical elements.

Essential oils play a major role in their effect on blood circulation, not only in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues but also in assisting in the disposal of toxic waste from the tissues.

Various constituents in essential oils have been adequately validated to increase the oxygen intake of the cells as well as their ability to utilize oxygen from other sources. Essential oils have many different chemical components in their various molecular structures. No two oils are alike in their affect on the body. Some constituents, such as aldehydes, are anti-infectious, sedative and calming to the nervous system. They are found predominantly in lavender and chamomile oils. Eugenol is antiseptic and stimulating and is found in cinnamon and clove oil. Ketones, found in lavender, hyssop and patchouly oil, stimulate cell regeneration, liquefy mucous and are helpful with dry asthma, colds and the flu. Phenols are antiseptic and kill bacteria and viruses and are found in oregano and thyme oil. Sesquiterpenes, which are predominant in frankincense and sandalwood, are anti-inflammatory and work as liver and gland stimulants. They were found in 1994 to go beyond the brain blood barrier, increasing oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands.

Imagine how long the list would be if we were able to list all the constituents and just a few of their major activities. Because of the incredible complexity and hundreds of different chemical constituents within one single oil, it becomes very clear that the value of essential oils is equally as immense.

In 1985, Dr. Jean C. Lapraz said he couldn’t find bacteria or viruses that could live in the presence of the essential oils of cinnamon or oregano. He found many other oils displaying the same qualities. This is very significant when we are faced with life-threatening viruses that are drug resistant. In our world today, we see incredible microbial mutations that are starting to create a panic in various parts of the world.

The immune system is an important area we want to examine and understand, especially with the tremendous weakness and continual degeneration caused by the chemicals we ingest, our polluted water and air, our denatured food and our hectic lifestyles. I saw a tremendous need in this area, so I created an oil formula called ImmuPower to help give us some support and protection. This formula contains the oils of ravensara, oregano, thyme, mountain savory, clove, and black cumin, which are all antiviral and antifungal. Oregano, frankincense, clove and cistus are immune stimulators. Frankincense and clove are antitumoral and anticancerous. The action of the oils in this formula have all been documented by medical doctors and scientists in Europe and published in Dr. Penoel’s medical text on Aromatherapy.”

HISTORY
OF ESSENTIAL OILS
According to the translation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using extracted oils from plants for healing thousands of years before Christ. These essential oils are the earliest known medicines, pre-dating the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by some 6,000 years or more.

Highly revered, the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt routinely exchanged Blue Lotus Oil with the kings of India for slaves, gold and other precious goods. And so it is, essential oils were at one time in history considered more valuable than gold.

When King Tut’s tomb was opened in 1922, 350 liters of oil were discovered in alabaster jars. Plant waxes had solidified in a thickened residue around the inside of the container opening, leaving the liquefied oil in excellent condition.

In 1817 the Ebers Papyrus was discovered, which was over 870 feet long and was referred to as a medicinal scroll. It dated back to 1500 B.C. and mentioned over 800 different formulations of herbal prescriptions and remedies. Other scrolls indicated that the Egyptians had a very high success rate in treating 81 different diseases. Many mixtures contained myrrh and honey. Myrrh is recognized today for its ability to help with infections of the skin and throat and to regenerate skin tissue. Myrrh was also used for embalming because of its effectiveness in preventing bacterial growth.

The Egyptians were the first to discover the potential of fragrance. They created various fragrances used for the individual’s personal benefit as well as in rituals and ceremonies performed in the temples and pyramids. According to records dating back to 4500 B.C., they were also using balsamic substances with aromatic properties in religious rituals and for medicines.

The Egyptian high priests understood the value of fragrances for opening the subconscious mind and elevating their ability to communicate with their spirit world.

The ancient Egyptians and Babylonians believed that in order to reach a realm of higher spirituality, they had to be clean and beautiful. They practiced fumigation as a means for disbursing oils to purify the air around them, which they believed would protect them from evil spirits. The Egyptians were a vain people consumed with their looks and beauty. They discovered oils and the aromatic uses of oils for medicinal purposes long before the actual plant was studied and used in its herbal application and incorporated into the field of medicine.

The Romans also played an important role in the history of essential oils. They were very much into fumigating and diffusing oils in their temples and political buildings as well as bathing in hot tubs scented with oils followed by a fragrant massage with their favorite oils.

Anciently, the Arabian people began to study the chemistry of the aromatic properties that resulted in a refined development of distillation. This was first implemented in the extraction of rose oil and rose water, which were very popular in the Middle East at that time. Various expeditions brought aromatic plants from one country to another. Kings would barter and buy land, gold, slaves and women with the oils that they had extracted even with their crude methods. Thus, oils were more valuable than gold.

The European community did not process or produce essential oils until the 12th century. Although Medieval Europeans lost touch with personal cleanliness, which helped bring on the great plagues of the 13th and 14th centuries, essential oils were still known and talked about in relationship to the thieves who robbed the bodies of the dead and were not infected. These robbers, known as spice traders and perfumers, bathed in such oils as pine, frankincense, balsam, clove, cinnamon and rosemary.

Throughout the Old Testament and up to the time of Christ, there are numerous references to the value of oils. Perhaps during the Dark Ages and the burning of the libraries in Alexandria and other places, much of this knowledge was lost; and only through the cosmetic and perfume industry did this valuable science start to resurface.”

Anchored in Scripture:

There are 188 references to these oils (or the plant they are derived from) in the Bible. Some precious oils, such as frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, rosemary, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon and spikenard were used for anointing and healing of the sick. There were three wise men (magi) who brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child. Clinical research now shows that frankincense and myrrh are two of the most powerful immune-stimulating substances available, containing very high amounts of immune- stimulating properties. Perhaps the three wise men were wise in ways beyond our knowledge.

Recent excavation of the ancient city called Gilead, has unearthed the remains of a fortress like building used for the manufacture of balsam oil. This “balm of Gilead” noted in Jeremiah 8:22, had long been famous in antiquity for its nearly miraculous properties to HEAL WOUNDS. In fact, the balsam oil of Gilead was so famous that the conquering Roman emperor Titus (79-81 A.D.), after conquering Gilead, displayed branches from Gilead’s balsam trees in his triumphal march through Rome.

So precious was this oil to the commerce of Gilead, the exact manufacturing process was kept a closely guarded secret. So much so, archaeologists uncovered an inscription carved into the floor of a local synagogue that reads, “Whoever reveals the secret of the village to the gentiles, the one whose eyes roam over the entire earth and see’s what is concealed will uproot this person and his seed from under the sun.” (see Biblical Archaeology Review, Sep/Oct 1996 issue).

It should be noted when Joseph’s brothers tried to sell him to a caravan of Ishmaelites passing by, Their camels were loaded with spices, balm and myrrh, purchased in Gilead, on their way to Egypt. (Gen. 37:25)

The Plagues of Europe:

Essential oils were not produced in Europe until the 12th century. Although Medieval Europeans lost touch with personal cleanliness, which helped bring on the great plagues of the 13th and 14th centuries, essential oils are still known and talked about in relationship to the thieves who robbed the bodies of the dead and were not infected. These robbers, known as spice traders and perfumers, bathed in such oils as pine, frankincense, balsam, clove, cinnamon and rosemary. Imagine the knowledge and trust they must have had in the oils, that they were willing to expose themselves to an otherwise certain death.

Throughout early history, the ancients knew the value of essential oils. What happened to the information about these oils? Perhaps during the Dark Ages and the burning of the libraries in Alexandria and other places, much of this knowledge was lost. It has only been through the cosmetic and perfume industry that this valuable science has started to re-surface.

Young Living Essential Oils

OVERCOMING TYPE II DIABETES is not about eating foods that are good for you; it is about ELIMINATING foods that are not; including many foods touted as “health foods” which actually will increase your blood sugar level rather than balance it.

SUGAR IS THE #1 ENEMY—This includes white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, turbinado sugar, honey, maple syrup, agave and most importantly high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which is not really fructose and is a key ingredient in most all processed foods.

BAD CARBS:                                                     GOOD CARBS:

Anything White                                               Sprouted grain bread

Bread                                                            Rice, Spelt, Millet, Quinoa

Pasta                                                             All Fruits and Vegetables

Cereals/Crackers                                            Sweet Potato

White Potatoes

Orange juice/Fruit juices

BAD FATS:                                                        GOOD FATS:

Hydrogenated Oils                                       Olive Oil/Sesame Oil

Canola Oil                                                   Coconut Oil

Margarine/Butter Substitutes                       Butter /Buttermilk

Dairy (due to lactose)                                 Eggs

Avocado

Raw Nuts

NOTE: You must eat fat in order to lose fat. If not eating the correct fats, the body will convert/store whatever you do eat as fat!

PROCESSED FOODS ARE THE #2 ENEMY:

• All artificial sweeteners such as Sweet n Low, Equal, Nutra-Sweet, Splenda
• Soft Drinks
• Hydrogenated Oils
• High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
• Processed Soy Products

Eat foods containing only 1 ingredient such as:

• Steak
• Chicken
• Fish
• Eggs
• Olive Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Fruits & Vegetables

NOTE: A 30 day diet of just raw foods will cure type II diabetes.  However, the average person will not devote the time it takes to educate themselves about eating raw nor will they create the time to prepare the meals.

In my practice I use some of the best products available to support blood sugar levels. And I only use them to assist the patient in getting from point A to point B.  Under no circumstance do I want any patient of mine to remain on a type II diabetic supplement protocol for the rest of their natural life.

What I do want is for them to:

• Eliminate the foods which created the diabetes in the place
• Exercise regularly
• Walk an hour per day
• Drink water

I rarely endorse pharmaceutical intervention for Type II (not Type I) diabetes because Type II diabetes can easily be rectified with proper food intake including water and exercise.

Vitamin D has historically been used to treat Low Blood Pressure as there appears to be a correlation between blood pressure and low blood calcium levels.

It is only within the last few years that the important role Vitamin D plays has been researched and recognized.

For starters, Vitamin D is responsible for regulating over 800+ genes in the body.

And it is a know fact that Vitamin D 25- Hydroxy levels lower than 15  will lead to many varieties of Cancer especially Colon Cancer

It is also a known fact that the Viatmin D which naturally exists in milk is destroyed during the pasteurization process making it necessary to replace the natural Vitamin D that once was in the milk with synthetic Vitamin D

So why suddenly is everyone Vitamin D deficient?

Actually it is not a deficiency of Vitamin D but a deficiency of Vitamin F, vitamin D’s antagonist.  Vitamin D picks up calcium from the gut and puts it into the blood.  Vitamin F takes it from the blood and puts it into the tissues.

SO WHAT IS VITAMIN F? Vitamin F is a source of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids which are needed to transport calcium from the blood to the tissues.  It contains Linolenic and Linoleic Acids which the liver will convert to Arachidonic Acid.  Arachidonic acid is the only form of polyunsaturated fat that can be utilized by the body.  It does not exist in vegetable oil—only in fat meat and butter—not margarine. Because polyunsaturated fats reduce blood-cholesterol levels, they are much preferred over saturated fats.

Vitamin F Deficiency results in or plays a major role in the following conditions:

• Hives
• Itchy Skin
• Canker Sores (Herpes)
• Hypothyroidism
• Ridged Nails
• Poor Hair Quality
• Dry Skin
• Muscle Cramps (“Charley Horse”
• Sun Poisoning
• Sun Sensitivity
• Heat Prostration
• Prostate Problems

D without F will cause the blood calcium level to increase at the expense of the tissue calcium level because Vitamin D not only picks up calcium from the gut in a deficiency of F, it brings calcium from the tissues back into the bloodstream.

Excess Vitamin D from extreme sun exposure is known to cause Cancer BUT only in people who are Vitamin F deficient!!!

In my practice, I use very little Vitamin D.

What I do use are the following supplements if and when needed:

• Microcrystalline Calcium Hydroxyapatite Compound (MCHC) which is the only calcium proven in a court of law to REVERSE OSTEOPOROSIS!
• Vitamin F Tablets
• Parent Omega Oils which are plant based (not manufactured from dead fish)

VE IRONS 7 DAY INTESTINAL FLUSH

“”Here let me repeat one solemn truth which should be repeated over and over each day until everybody comprehends its meaning and acts upon it. Normal resistance to disease is directly dependent upon adequate food. Normal resistance to disease never comes out of pill boxes. Adequate food is the cradle of normal resistance, the playground of normal immunity, the workshop of good health, and the laboratory of long life.”

- Dr. Charles Mayo
Founder of Mayo Clinic

HiStory:

Victor Earl Irons founder of Springreen Products, Inc., was born on January 23, 1895 in West Virginia USA. He graduated from Yale University in 1919. At the age of 40 he was stricken with sever anklyosing spondylosis (an arthritic condition) and turned to natural approaches in desperation. He became a student of health, expended time, money and energy to develop something which was in total harmony with Natural Law. This search led him to believe that in order to regain vibrant health, detoxification as the first step.          Important Note: V.E. Irons developed the very first introduction of a colon cleansing program to the public in the 1930´s.

• In 1946, VE Irons founded the Springreen Company making the products available to doctors and practitioners by the name of Veico Products (east of the Mississippi) and Springreen Products (west of the Mississippi).
• Dr. Royal Lee (founder of Standard Process Vitamins) was instrumental in having        V E Irons and Harold Pratt of Kansas City introduce the use of wheat grass and other cereal grasses in 1953. Springreen became the trademark name for these organically grown cereal grasses and the first supplement of its kind.
• V. E. Irons traveled the country lecturing and teaching the basic principles of health. Many thousands, including our doctors and their patients, have been helped tremendously by following his advice and principles.
• V. E. Irons pioneered the idea of using psyllium seed and husks to create a mucilaginous bulk which would enhance the cleansing of the colon. In addition, Montmorillonite which is the active ingredient in Bentonite, is used as an adsorbent aid in detoxification and intestinal purification via the alimentary canal.
• V. E Irons began a second family at the age of 72 and fathered his last child at the age of 80. Mr. Irons passed away in 1993 at the age of 98 as a result of injuries incurred in a motor vehicle accident. His ideals, teachings and standards are carried on by his family and the many devoted customers around the world who have experienced his cleansing and rejuvenation program.

NOTE: As some of my “longer term” patients know, I have used this program in my practice for well over 30 years.  It is the flagship of all intestinal flushes and to this day it would be hard to find a flush that works better or is more thought out than this one.

THE 7 DAY CLEANSING PROGRAM

Eat nothing for the full 7 days, other than as specified, during the program. Drink a glass of water in addition to what is given in the instructions. Be sure to drink at least one gallon of water per day. Plenty of water is essential to the success of the Cleansing Program.

You will need:

1. One empty pint jar with a tight cover.
2. JUICE (optional for flavor) – 2 tablespoons up to 1/4 cup mixed with water. (Your choice of apple, grape, berry, etc.).
3. One bottle Springreen No. 30 Springreen.*
4. One bottle Springreen No. 77 Detoxificant.*
5. One bottle Springreen No. 79 Intestinal Cleanser.*

* These products may be purchased as Springreen No. 89 Seven Day Cleansing Program Kit.

Optional items:

1. One bottle Springreen No. 79A Herbal Supplement. (A sample bottle of No. 79A containing 14 tablets is provided in the No. 89 Cleansing Kit.)
2. One bottle Springreen No. 88 Whole Beet Plant Juice tablets.
3. One infant rectal syringe.
4. One cup high-grade olive oil.

NOTE: I personally recommend the Whole Beet Juice Plant with this program.

THE CLEANSE:

The evening before commencing the program, take 2 Springreen No. 79A Herbal Supplement tablets. To more thoroughly eliminate fecal accumulation, slowly inject – using the baby rectal syringe – one cup of olive oil into the rectum. Massage the bowel gently and try to retain this oil until morning. If necessary, use an enema or a colonic the next morning to make sure the lower colon has been emptied.

A. Each day for 7 days take the following Cleansing Drink:

1. Pour about one inch (or two tablespoons) of your choice of fruit juice into the pint jar. (This is to prevent the mixture from jelling too quickly and to give your drink flavor, although it is not necessary.)
2. Add at least 10 ounces of water.
3. Add 1 tablespoonful of Springreen No. 77 Detoxificant.
4. Lastly, add 1 heaping teaspoonful of Springreen No. 79 Intestinal Cleanser.
5. Put the cover on tightly and shake vigorously for 5 to 10 seconds.
6. Drink quickly. Follow with fresh water, if desired.

B. 1 ½ Hours after taking the above Cleansing Drink take the Whole Food Supplements:

• 6 tablets of Springreen No. 30 Springreen
• 3 capsules of Springreen No. 83 Wheat Germ Oil
• 2 tablets of Springreen No. 87 Natural Source Vitamin C
• 2 tablets of Springreen No. 88 Whole Beet Plant Juice (optional item)

**Take this combination the desired number of times each day. In the course of the day you will have consumed at least 12 Wheat Germ Oil capsules, 24 Springreen tablets, 8 Natural Source Vitamin C tablets, and 8 Whole Beet Plant Juice tablets.

C. 1 ½ Hours after taking the Whole Food Supplements, take a Cleansing Drink. Repeat throughout the day. Remember to take 2 tablets of No. 79A Herbal Supplement each night with last Cleansing Drink and drink plenty of water.

D. The results of this Cleansing Program will be dramatically enhanced when you use daily colon irrigation. Try to have 6-14 enemas or colonics during the 7 Day Cleansing Program.

A sample schedule might be as follows:

• 7:00 am – Cleansing Drink
• 8:30 am – Supplements
• 10:00 am – Cleansing Drink
• 11:30 am – Supplements
• 1:00 pm – Cleansing Drink
• 2:30 pm – Supplements
• 4:00 pm – Cleansing Drink
• 5:30 pm – Supplements

Over 150 lbs.

• 7:00 pm – Cleansing Drink
• 8:30 pm – Supplements

If your weight is under 150 lbs., you should take each 4 times per day – 1 ½ hours apart
If your weight is over 150 lbs., you should take each 5 times per day – 1 ½ hours apart

AFTER THE 7TH DAY:

1. Use No. 77 Detoxificant and No. 79 Intestinal Cleanser in a Cleansing Drink morning and evening as daily maintenance. Many use the Cleansing Drink every morning for years to help build and maintain bowel regularity. The purpose of No. 77 is to adsorb (not absorb) undesirable matter in the alimentary canal. The purpose of No. 79 is to furnish fiber that retains moisture. It is mucilaginous, slippery, soft and bulky. (It has far more fiber than bran.)
2. For best results take 20 tablets of No. 30 Springreen, 12 capsules of No. 83 Wheat Germ Oil, 6 tablets of No. 84 Enzymatic Supplement, 4 tablets of No. 87 Natural Source Vitamin C, and 5 tablets of No. 88 Whole Beet Plant Juice daily for two or three months; then reduce to amounts on labels.
3. Resume normal eating, but eliminate from your diet anything containing bleached whole wheat or bleached and refined white flour products. Also eliminate anything containing artificial color or flavor, corn syrup or refined sugars. Instead, use whole wheat, stone ground, or sprouted whole wheat flour and molasses or honey. Inquire until you find them.
4. Eat a good size raw vegetable salad daily and one cooked leafy vegetable.
5. Use fresh, raw fruits, in season, between meals and for desserts.
6. Cook, bake, or steam all vegetables definitely on the raw side.
7. Cook beef very, very rare. Broil fish on one side only. Cook eggs softly.
8. Eat melons between meals.
9. Drink water generously between meals only. Drinking water during meals dilutes the digestive enzymes in the mouth and stomach.
10. See that one half of your food intake is fresh and raw, and gradually increase.
11. Be sure to eat something raw at each meal. If this is not always practical, then augment the meal with No. 30 Springreen.
12. Exercise. Even well-balanced blood is ineffective unless it is aerated (oxygenated), so walk, walk, walk.

**The total cost for the products will be somewhere around $160-.  If you choose to have colonics and I highly recommend you do because they are easier to do than doing at home, the cost for 3-4 colonics over a 7 day period of time may be somewhere around $200-.  So yes, it is an investment but if it were me, I would rather invest in my health and well-being as opposed to investing in the stock market.

I recommend this flush be done with the assistance of a health care provider who understands this particular program and the ins/outs of colon cleansing.  If you would like further information please contact me via www.medicinefreehealing.com

GOOD OLE” SUMMERTIME!

The summer season is associated with heat and activity.  People are coming out of hibernation so to speak.  Summer is a time for expansion of the spirit as opposed to winter’s contraction   Therefore to properly resonate with the season that we are experiencing, we should be eating foods that are “COOLING” to the system.  This would mean eating foods that contain large amounts of water and potassium because they are vasodilators, and as such, open up the blood vessels, keeping your system cool despite the heat. Potassium rich foods usually grow closer to the equator for this very reason.  Some summertime food suggestions are as follows:

• All summer squashes, including watermelon
• All Green Leafy Vegetables such as collard, kale, turnip spinach, watercress
• Fresh Salads chewed well and if not eaten as a meal, always at the end of the meal
• Fruits high in potassium such as oranges, bananas, pineapples, mangos, papaya, cucumbers, coconut and coconut oil
• Watermelon eaten or juiced is highly recommended because it “clears out” kidney toxins accumulated by heavier winter eating.
• Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, asparagus, peppers— although all in the nightshade family– if there was a time to eat them it would be summer
• Long grain brown rice, cous cous, quinoa—all light “feathery” grains
• Chick peas, Hummus, Tabouleh Salad, Tahini
• Believe it or not, coffee is a vasodilator- grown around the equator belt
• A minimum 96 ounces of water per day in order to remain hydrated
• Don’t eat heavy meals late at night
• Try to eat less meat and Barbecue, as meat in itself is too heavy for summer
• Drink less soft drinks (32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize one Coca Cola)
• Drink less ice tea (tannins in tea are rough on the kidneys)
• Alcohol, wheat, and believe it or not ice cream, all create heat in the body by overloading the Liver.
• Young Living’s oil “Idaho Tansy” is an excellent insect repellent. YL’s Peppermint and Lemon Essential Oils also serve as an excellent summertime “cool down” when inhaled.

RELAX-EAT LESS-ENJOY THE FRUITS of LIFE!!

The History and Philosophy of Castor Oil

Although we mainly know it as one of Edgar Cayce’s most famous remedies, castor oil has a long history of traditional medical use dating back to ancient Egypt. Centuries ago the castor bean plant was referred to as the “Palma Christi.” It was called this because the shape of the plant’s leaves was thought to resemble the palm of Christ. Knowing the healing power of this plant, the name may be one of the most accurate descriptions ever.

The castor bean plant is actually native to India, where it is called “Erand.” There it was used extensively for all types of gastrointestinal problems like constipation, dysentery and inflammatory bowel disease. It was also used to treat bladder and vaginal infections and asthma. The seed kernels or hulls (without the actual seed) could be boiled in milk and water and taken internally to relieve arthritis and lower back pain accompanied by sciatica.

In Russia the oil is known as “Kastorka.” The stem of the plant is used in the textile industry. The extracted oil has a very consistent viscosity and won’t freeze even in Russia’s severe climate. This makes it ideal lubricating oil in industrial equipment. Medicinally, the oil is added to products to restore hair (one part oil to 10 parts of grain alcohol), treat constipation, skin ulcers, some infectious gynecological conditions and eye irritations.

Nursing mothers in the Canary Islands used poultices made from the leaves of the castor bean. They applied the poultice to their breasts to increase milk secretion and relieve inflammation and milk stagnation in the mammary glands. Applying the poultice to the abdominal area promoted normal menstruation.

Much of the current use of castor oil packs, in the U.S. anyway, can be attributed to the late healing psychic, Edgar Cayce. Time after time he recommended their use. Based on his reports, I began using them in my practice over 30years ago. But even though the results can be remarkable, this technique is still practically unknown and shunned by most health care professionals today. This is probably due to two reasons. First, it’s just too simple. It’s hard for most people to imagine that something as simple as castor oil packs could have a profound effect on any health problem. Secondly, in our present health care system, positive results alone do not constitute the critical factor in determining whether a treatment will be accepted by the medical establishment. Everybody now seems to be more concerned about how something is supposed to work, than whether it actually works at all. Recent research data presented by longtime follower of Edgar Cayce, Dr. William McGarey of Phoenix, Arizona, might help shed some light on how castor oil works.

Castor oil is a triglyceride of fatty acids. Almost 90 percent of its fatty acid content consists of ricinoleic acid. Ricinoleic acid is not found in any other substance except castor oil. Such a high concentration of this unusual, unsaturated fatty acid is thought to be responsible for castor oil’s remarkable healing abilities.

Ricinoleic acid has been shown to be effective in preventing the growth of numerous species of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and molds. (J Am Oil Chem. Soc 61; 37.323-325.) This would explain the high degree of success in the topical use of the oil for treating such ailments as ringworm, keratosis (non-cancerous, wart-like skin growths), skin inflammation, abrasions, fungal-infected finger- and toenails, acne and chronic pruritus (itching). Generally, for these conditions the area involved is simply wrapped in cloth soaked with castor oil each night, or if the area is small enough, a castor oil soaked Band-Aid can be used. (For persistent infections and those finger- and toenails that have discolored and hardened, a good 10 to 20 minute soak in Epsom salts, prior to applying the castor oil, usually speeds up the healing process.)

Castor oil’s antimicrobial activity, while very impressive, comprises only a small part of the story concerning this mysterious oil. While castor oil has been thoroughly investigated for its industrial uses, only a minimal amount of research effort has been directed toward its medicinal benefits.

Many individuals suffering from auto-immune disorders such as AIDS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Scleroderma, Auto-Immune Thyroiditis etc. have been able to increase their T-cell counts; balance their B-cell counts; and clear up many of their problems by using the techniques described. Others’ have found it useful in eliminating chronic problems with epilepsy, hyperactivity, liver and gallbladder diseases and chronic fluid retention.

McGarey reported when used properly, castor oil packs improve the function of the thymus gland and other areas of the immune system. More specifically, he found in two separate studies that patients using abdominal castor oil packs had significant increases in the production of lymphocytes compared to increases among those using placebo packs.

Lymphocytes are the disease-fighting cells of your immune system. They are produced and housed mainly in your lymphatic tissue. This includes the thymus gland, the spleen, the lymph nodes and the lymphatic tissue that lines the small intestine (called Peyer’s patches, or more commonly, aggregated lymphatic follicles). Strangely, other than knowing it produces the body’s white blood cells, most doctors are not very knowledgeable about the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system is an amazingly complex structure. It works hand in hand with both the blood circulatory system and the digestive system.

In the circulatory system newly oxygenated blood from the lungs moves from the heart along smaller and smaller arteries until it reaches the smallest vessels called capillaries. It is in these microscopic tubules that the blood exchanges oxygen and nutrients for cellular waste products with surrounding body cells. The capillaries then gradually become larger and form veins through which the un-oxygenated, waste-carrying blood returns back to the lungs and then to the heart to be re-circulated time and time again.

Much of the fluid accompanying the blood and large protein molecules leaks from these capillaries. Additional fluids and waste products are expelled from every cell in the body. These fluids accumulate in the small spaces between the cells. If all of this material weren’t somehow removed we would begin to swell like a toad and die within a matter of 24 hours. Fortunately, we have a completely separate circulation system, called the lymphatic system that is able to absorb and remove these fluids, proteins and waste materials. With the exception of the brain, where these proteins and fluids flow directly into the fluid that surrounds them, the extensive lymphatic network has hundreds of miles of tubules that cover the entire body. Through these tubules all of this material is returned to the blood so it can be utilized or eliminated from the body. (There is no pathway, other than the lymphatic system, that excess protein molecules can use to return to the circulatory system.)

Also, along these lymphatic tubules you’ll find bulb-shaped masses called lymph nodes, which act as filters and produce antibodies when foreign proteins are encountered. Surely you’ve experienced the tenderness and swelling of an inflamed lymph node at one time or another. It is usually a result of antibodies fighting an infection either in the node itself or somewhere in the draining area of that particular lymph chain.

In addition to returning leaking fluid from the circulation system and creating antibodies for the immune system, the lymphatic system also performs another very important function. Clumps of lymphatic tissue, called Peyer’s patches, are spread throughout the small intestine. Unlike other nutrients, fat molecules are generally too large to be absorbed directly from the intestine. Instead, they are absorbed by these patches and transported along the lymphatic system and then released into the blood stream where they can be carried throughout the body. Between 80 to 90 percent of all the fat absorbed from the gut requires the help of the lymphatic system.

When it comes to treating the majority of health problems, the status of your lymphatic system is rarely given any consideration whatsoever. Medical students are taught that a failure of the lymphatic system is obvious to detect because it is accompanied by “pitting” edema (the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, i.e. swelling, usually in the feet, ankles or hands). The test for “pitting” edema is rather simple. A finger is pressed into the skin at the area of the swelling and then quickly removed. The skin stays depressed, forming a small “pit”, which remains until the fluid outside the cells has time to return to the area (this can take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds). Unfortunately, research studies have shown that “pitting” edema and other signs of fluid retention can’t be observed until fluid levels outside the cells reach 30 percent above normal. In other words, you can have a serious lymphatic drainage problem long before it can be detected.

Several problems occur when the lymph drainage slows and fluids begin to accumulate around the cells. First, the individual cells are forced further and further away from the capillaries. The amount of oxygen and nourishment they receive is decreased. Under exertion or stress some cells may die. Additionally, cells are forced to survive in their own waste and toxic by-products. This situation can eventually lead to the degeneration and destruction of organs. For example, poor lymphatic drainage of the heart can lead to tissue damage and even heart failure. Similar problems occur in the liver, the kidneys and other organs.

Fluid accumulation outside the cells also stretches the tissue in the area. The more it stretches and the longer it remains that way, the harder it becomes to correct the problem.

Regardless of the health problem, efforts should be taken to improve the function of the lymphatic system in every health problem.  At the imperil of the patient, most doctors generally assume the lymphatic system is working adequately when in fact it is not! Research has shown that as we age certain organs begin to degenerate. The thymus gland is a key component of the immune system. It is initially responsible for the proper development of the lymphatic system and is practically absent in older individuals. Peyer’s patches, those clumps of lymphatic tissue found in the small intestine, begin to get smaller with age and are often destroyed by certain diseases like typhoid fever. (Cayce felt that the overall health and well-being of an individual was directly related to the health of these Peyer’s patches. He stated on several occasions, that a certain compound formed in these patches was necessary for maintaining the integrity of the nervous system. He may very well be correct. To this day, we still don’t totally understand the functions and importance of either the thymus gland or Peyer’s patches.)

Efforts should be taken to improve the function of the lymphatic system in every health problem. This applies to all immune system disorders such as AIDS, as well as heart disease, hemorrhoids and everything in between. No drug exists that has the ability to improve lymphatic flow; however, the job can easily be handled through the topical application of castor oil.

When castor oil is absorbed through the skin, several extraordinary events take place.

• The lymphocyte count of the blood increases. This is a result of a positive influence on the thymus gland and/or lymphatic tissue.
• The flow of lymph increases throughout the body. This speeds up the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and reduces the size of swollen lymph nodes. The end result is a general overall improvement in organ function with a lessening of fatigue and depression.
• As toxicity is reduced, the pH of the saliva becomes less acidic, indicating improved health.
• The Peyer’s patches in the small intestine become more efficient in their absorption of fatty acids, which are essential for the formation of hormones and other components necessary for growth and repair.

Common Methods of Using Castor Oil

In the past, the most common way to use castor oil was to take it orally to correct constipation and promote “purging” of the system. Due to the aggressive mode of action and the availability of other products, castor oil is no longer recommended for this purpose.

Rubbed or Massaged Directly Into the Skin:

Due to the many effects of its fatty acid component, ricinoleic acid, the use of castor oil can be used topically to treat a wide variety of health complaints. Oftentimes there is no need for castor oil packs; amazing results can be obtained by simply applying it directly to the skin. It can also be used as massage oil which seems to be especially effective when applied along the spinal column. If the oil is massaged into the body, the direction of the massage should always follow the same path as the underlying Lymphatic drainage system. The diagram below shows the proper direction to massage the oil and further facilitate lymphatic drainage.

The following is a short list of some of the more common ailments it can remedy:                                         

Conditions Responding to Topical Application:

Skin Keratosis             Ringworm                   Fungal and bacterial infections

Wounds                       Abdominal stretch marks (prevention)

Bursitis                                    Sebaceous cysts           Warts

Senile lentigo (“liver” or “aging” spots)

Muscle strains             Ligament sprain          Itching

Castor Oil Packs:

While all of these uses of castor oil very interesting, the most exciting use deals with ways to increase topical absorption through the use of castor oil packs or poultices. Packs are an economical and efficient method of absorbing the ricinoleic acid and other healing components of castor oil directly into body tissues.

A castor oil pack is placed on the skin to increase circulation and to promote elimination and healing of the tissues and organs underneath the skin. It is used to stimulate the liver, relieve pain, increase lymphatic circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion.

Conditions Responding to Castor Oil Packs:

Lymphatic Congestion

Obviously, conditions known to be related to poor drainage of the lymphatic system will tend to benefit from this type of therapy. These would include complaints such as:

• Chronic fluid retention with swollen joints and pain
  Arthritis
  Upper respiratory infections involving the sinuses, tonsils and inner ear
  Colon problems like Crohn’s disease or colitis
  Gallbladder disease
  Boils
  Liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, enlargement or congestion
  Menstrual-related congestion
  Appendicitis
  Hyperactivity
  Constipation, bowel impaction or adhesions
  Swollen lymph nodes
  Bladder and vaginal infections
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (POS)

Neurological Problems:

Several neurological problems have also been responsive to castor oil. These include:

Nerve inflammations such as sciatica, shingles, etc.
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple Sclerosis
Migraine Headaches
Cerebral Palsy

AIDS:

Conditions that stress or compromise the immune system will very often benefit from castor oil packs. Nowhere is this more obvious than with AIDS. I have talked with several AIDS patients who have added castor oil packs (usually for one hour a day) to their treatment regimen with very positive results. Within two weeks, it was not uncommon for them to see increases in their WBC counts (white blood cell counts), platelet counts, hematocrit readings and RBC counts (red blood cells).

In addition to the castor oil packs many people with immune system compromise also drink a combination of olive oil and lemon juice to further stimulate lymphatic flow and liver activity. It can be made by blending the following:

1 clean whole lemon, (pulp, rind, seeds and all)
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups of distilled water
4 rounded tablespoons of frozen orange juice concentrate

The blended material is then strained through a wire strainer to remove the pulp, which is discarded. The remaining liquid is divided in four equal portions of approximately 1/4 cup each and a portion is consumed with each of the three daily meals and before bedtime.

In addition to stimulating lymphatic flow, the drink increases the flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder, which, in turn, enhances one’s ability to digest essential fatty acids through the Peyer’s patches in the small intestine. It is not uncommon for AIDS patients to experience weight gain and a reversal of a long list of complaints often associated with fatty acid deficiencies.

Buying Castor Oil:

Any oil that enters your body either orally or through the skin needs to be of the highest quality. Castor oil is no different. Check your local health food store for cold-pressed castor oil. If you can’t find it there or they can’t order it for you, then it can be ordered through the mail from Heritage Store, P.O. Box 444, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23458. They can also be reached by calling 1(800)862-2923. In The UK Cold Pressed Castor oil can be obtained from www.pukkaherbs.com

Our Father-Mother God, Breather of the Cosmos Center of all, Dweller in all,

We live as sounds of your sacred name

Shine the Light of your Love in us and through us

That we may care for ourselves and all,

Our wills in accord with you Will

Create in us each moment what we need To express the highest good for all

And free us from bonds of ignorance

Release us from the blinding spell of illusion and help us attain our truest purpose,

for in You we find the power to be a glory and a blessing of all creation

offering ourselves as Flower of Living Light

This version of the Lord’s Prayer was stimulated by translations of the original prayer by Jesus in the Aramaic language, as presented in the book, “Prayers of the Cosmos” by Neil Douglas-Klotz

I am particular fond of this particular version because Jesus studied with the Essenes; the Essene Gospels recognized both a male and female entity as God; and the almost all of the principal founders of what would later be called Christianity were Essenes-St. Ann, Joseph and Mary, John the Baptist, Jesus, John the Evangelist etc. 

The link above is from ABC Good Morning America on Monday, March 8th. It is about the dangers of the Osteoporosis Preventing Drug Fosamax. Since it first appeared last week, ABC has received thousands of comments.

It is interesting that ABC’s medical correspondent Dr. Besser even did this story to begin with. He is documented to be anti-supplement and pro- pharmaceutical.

I have warned against the dangers of Fosamax and other anti-osteoporosis drugs for years.

Osteoporosis is not a calcium deficiency problem.  There is plenty of calcium available; the problem is with proper utilization and absorption.  In other words, getting the calcium out of the soft tissue and back into the bone where it needs to be.

MAGNIFICAL made by Logos Nutritional is a high quality supplement professionally designed to do just that.

It contains the following three essential elements as well as B6, magnesium and a small amount of calcium.

• Vitamin D:  Transports calcium out of solution and into the bone.
• Vitamin K2: Acts as the “glue” that binds calcium into the bone matrix.
• Strontium: Repairs and replenishes the bone matrix or webbing that calcium attaches to and “fills in”.

You can order Magnifical by calling Logos Nutritional at 1-800-556-5530 (EST)

Please take note of the fact that it is phosphorous in soft drinks, as well as sulphites in animal protein which weaken bones.

* *Because women are more evolved than men, they do not require as much animal protein and therefore should not be eating as much.

Preventing osteoporosis has nothing to do with drinking milk and all to do with a clean healthy diet loaded with fresh vegetables, plenty of sunlight and a regular routine of exercise!!!

•Both spring and autumn are seasons of transition.

• In spring we are transitioning from winter and preparing for summer as opposed to autumn where we are transitioning from summer to winter.

• Spring is a time of detoxification of the organs, especially the Liver and Intestines, getting them ready for lighter, watery, summer foods.

• Spring is a time of inspiration—wanting to get out and do things • Everyone has heard of spring cleaning. The same theory applies to the human body. • In spring we need to eat foods that have an “upward” movement—foods that reawaken the yang energy as that energy has been hibernating throughout the winter.

• Foods that can either be pungent or sweet are the rule of thumb for the spring.

• The liver is the ruler over the spring. It is the root of life’s ultimate action; its condition is revealed in the fingernails and toenails as well as in the muscles.

• The liver has the functions of strategic planning; the gallbladder has the function of decisions and judgments—Indecisiveness is always a gallbladder symptom.

• The morning time of day is governed by Spring; afternoon by Summer; evening by Autumn and night by Winter.

Spring Balance Spring Imbalance

Beginnings                                                             Still the same old stuff

Cleaning body, home                                        Excess

Suggestions for Springtime Eating and Lifestyle:

• All green leafy chlorophyll laden vegetables including, but not limited, to sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, watercress, kale, spring spinach, chicory, malvas’ and a host of other green vegetables deliberately given to humankind at this time of year to help us “clean up” our bodies.

• Dr.P’s Magic Green Drink is absolutely recommended at this time of year more than other time.

• The sweetness of spring applies by eating fruits such as strawberries other types of fruit in season and natural raw honey.

• Sassafras, peppermint, nettles and comfrey are all excellent herbs used for tea. It has been said that drinking one cup of sassafras tea a day for two weeks can help clean the entire body.

• Introducing more water, into the system but not as much water as is required in summer.

• Detoxification Programs such as the Gallbladder Flush, Stanley Burroughs’s The Master Cleanse and the VE Iron 7 day Intestinal Putrefaction Flush- the purpose of which is to eliminate toxins created by eating heavier winter foods and preparing the body for lighter summer foods.

• Fasting one day a week • Salt scrubs, hot baths, saunas and steam baths.

• Transitioning from meats to vegetables as spring gets closer and closer to summer.

• More and more outdoor activity which helps heal “spring fever”.

The long and the short of all this is that for centuries humankind has lived according to the seasons. In theory, we should only eat foods that grow 500-700 miles around us. The foods in this area are specific to the environment. We cannot do  this 100%. After all, many of us drink coffee and it does not grow in any region of the US. However, we can do the best we know how by putting our best foot forward and paying attention.

The Universe makes no mistakes—Humankind is another story!!

Healing moves symptoms from:

1. Inside to outside

2. Top to bottom

3. More important organs to less important organs

4. Most recent or current symptoms to older more chronic symptoms

The healing process can oftentimes create discomfort and discharge as the above 4 processes take place.

Years ago studying in a Macrobiotic summer camp, one of the attendees, a young man around 20 years old had open weeping sores all over his legs. When I asked his counselor/coach about this, I was told that the young man had been eating clean healthy foods for two years and just now his kidneys were getting rid of medications he took as a child and that those medications were being discharged through the skin on the legs. I was not sure if I was going to buy into that reasoning, but lo and behold, within two weeks this man’s legs were totally healed with no marks or scarring remaining.

Illness can and should be considered an ally and opportunity to grow and learn from as opposed to an opponent and something dreadful.

Once a commitment is made to improve one’s life and lifestyle then, and only then Divine Providence will appear to handle the majority of the work that is necessary.

***Our minds are incredibly powerful, and as such, we as humans can “WILL” any thing we want to actually happen.  So we can use our will to eradicate any illness!!

Ben Franklin’s “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” speaks volumes to what we should be focused on doing.

Our healthcare system is based on treating illness when it should be based on preventing illness.

Big Pharma has spent billions of dollars to ensure we do not stay well simply because there is no money to be made when people are healthy!!

It is up to all of us to take personal responsibility by educating ourselves to live according to the Order of the Universe
