SMILE, IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!

A French physiologist Dr. Israel Waynbaum discovered that frowning triggers the secretion of the stress hormones cortisol, adrenaline, and nor-adrenaline, which are neurochemcials that inhibit the immune system, raise blood pressure, and increase susceptibility to anxiety and depression. Smiling, on the other hand, reduces secretion of stress hormones and raises the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good hormones, while simultaneously enhancing the function of the immune system by increasing T cell production.

NETI POTS FOR SINUS ISSUES!!!!!

Many of you out there have sinus issues which can make life more difficult than it needs to be. I have had stuffed up sinuses my entire life. When I was younger I went to see many different doctors and took every prescription known to man, yet none of them worked. I was turned onto the NETI POT a few weeks ago by Swamijohnna and my breathing and sinus issues are gone. If you are constantly stuffed up or have seasonal allergies, this may be for you. I went from being constantly congested with breathing difficulty to having completely clear sinuses in just a few minutes. It takes less than five minutes daily and works better than any prescription medication ever could, of course with no side effects. Below is the explanation from the Himalayan Institute on why and how the NETI POT works.




Why a Nasal Wash
The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus that is one of our body's first lines of defense against disease. A nasal wash keeps this layer of mucus moist, clean and healthy. And compared to other nasal wash techniques, using the Neti Pot™ is easy. A nasal wash can be as routine as brushing your teeth.

Rinsing with saline solution is a time-honored practice in the Orient. Here in the West, the nasal wash has been used for decades as a means of treating sinus problems, colds, allergies, and post-nasal drip and to counteract the effect of environmental pollution. Those practicing yoga and other meditative disciplines use the nasal wash to ensure free air flow through both nostrils.

A Healthy Nose
Breathing through the nose filters and conditions the incoming air. The nasal passages are lined with a thin layer of mucus that traps dirt, dust, and pollen and moves steadily to the rear of the nasal cavity and settles in the throat, where it is swallowed. Saline nasal rinses carry some of these impurities out of the body before they reach your stomach.

They also keep this protective layer of mucus functioning properly. If the mucus becomes too thick and dry or too thin and runny, it is easier for bacteria and viruses to penetrate the nasal lining and cause the swelling and excess discharge of mucus we call a “cold.” That’s why gargling or sniffing a little salt water at the first sign of a cold is a staple of folk medicine and why health-conscious people in India use a small pot of saline to rinse the nasal passages. The Neti Pot™ continues these time-tested traditions of hygiene.

Uses for the Nasal Wash
For some people, the nasal wash is as routine as brushing their teeth. Others use it for specific purposes. Suggestions:

Do the nasal wash to wake up, clear your nostrils, and start the day breathing freely.
Use it to remove excess mucus when you are experiencing nasal congestion.
Do it several times a day during the allergy season to rid the nostrils of pollen and other allergens.
Use the nasal wash when you’ve been exposed to soot, dust, smoke, or other airborne contaminants.
Use it to dissolve mucus build-up in dry climates or in air-conditioned or heated rooms, or after air travel.
Do the nasal wash before practicing systematic relaxation techniques or meditation to help you breathe freely and easily through your nose.
Remember, the nasal wash is not a substitute for medical treatment. Anyone with chronic inflammation of the nasal passages or other ear, nose, or throat disorders should seek medical attention.

Five reasons why the Neti Pot™ makes sense

1.Soothes dry nasal passages
2.Gently washes away dust, pollen, and environmental irritants
3.Offsets the effects of breathing dry indoor air (especially in winter)
4.Removes excess mucus…naturally
5.Helps you breathe freer when practicing yoga or meditation

MORE INFO LINKING SODAS TO CANCER

(NaturalNews) The "caramel coloring" used to color all the top cola brands isn't natural caramel coloring at all. Instead, it's made by reacting sugars with ammonia and sulfites at high temperatures. This reaction results in the formation of 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole, both of which are chemicals documented by the U.S. government to cause cancer in mammals.

This is all coming to light thanks to an effort by the CSPI, which has now filed a regulatory petition to ban these chemicals from colas (http://www.cspinet.org/new/20110216...).

The National Toxicology Program has conducted animal studies on these toxic chemicals found in colas, concluding there is "clear evidence" that 2-MI and 4-MI are animal carcinogens.

The call to ban these chemicals from use in foods was joined by five carcinogenesis experts who said, "The American public should not be exposed to any cancer risk whatsoever as a result of consuming such chemicals, especially when they serve a non-essential, cosmetic purpose." (http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/experts-...)

That letter explains:

4-methylimidazole (4-MI) causes lung tumors in male and female mice and mononuclear cell leukemia in female rats. Other NTP studies found that 2-methylimidazole caused liver tumors in male and female mice, thyroid tumors in male mice, and precancerous thyroid changes in female mice. In rats, 4-MI caused an increased rate of tumors in thyroid follicular cells in females and an increased rate of hyperplasia in thyroid follicular cells in males.

Even the term "caramel coloring" is extremely misleading to consumers, because most people think it's related to caramel candy, which is made by browning sugar under heat. But the "caramel coloring" used in colas is made by exposing sugars to industrial chemicals (ammonia and sulfites), resulting in a cocktail of cancer-causing chemicals.


Coke and Pepsi products may soon bear cancer warnings in California
California's Proposition 65 law limits the consumption of 4-MI to no more than 16 micrograms per day from a single product. Yet colas contain roughly 200 micrograms of 4-MI in a 20-ounce bottle.

That's over 12 times the allowable limit under Proposition 65, and that's in every bottle! Many people drink several bottles a day, further multiplying their exposure to this potential carcinogen.

If cola companies are going to continue to sell their products in California, then, they must now carry cancer warning labels in order to be in compliance with Prop 65. You can bet that a desperate effort is now under way by the cola industry to lobby California regulators and make sure 4-MI gets removed from any enforcement of Prop 65.

The cola industry wants everybody to think its products are wholesome and natural while forgetting about the health effects of phosphoric acid, aspartame and high-fructose corn syrup. Now, with 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole in the picture, there's yet another potentially cancer-causing chemical to worry about in colas.

Obviously, 2-MI and 4-MI can be avoided by drinking non-colored soft drinks, but those still contain phosphoric acid, high-fructose corn syrup, caffeine and even aspartame in diet sodas.

It turns out, there's no such thing as a perfectly safe soda. All sodas and soft drinks carry health risks related to their ingredients. I have no doubt that this era of diabetes, obesity and cancer we're living through right now is due in large part to the widespread consumption of sodas and soft drinks.

SOAPS BY JAN

As a friendly reminder, anything you rub onto your skin absorbs into the blood. These chemicals mix with the assortment of other toxins we absorb through every day life and cause serious health problems. I learned the hard way on this one! The big name products are often filled with the most harmful chemicals. Even the very expensive products are often very harmful. If you have any skin ailments stop using harmful chemical laiden products and switch to more natural, less harmful ones. Your skin and body will thank you for it.

A good friend of mine introduced me to some great all natural skin care products. I have been searching for soaps and lotions that contain no harmful ingredients and so far these are the best I have found. The products are completely natural and organic. Most of the ingredients are grown by the maker of the products. Check out the website below.

GIVE YOUR BODY THE BEST CHANCE TO RECOVER FROM OR PREVENT CANCER FOLLOWING THESE SIMPLE STEPS

CANCER TO DO LIST. THIS IS A CONDENSED LIST OF THINGS THAT CAN HELP YOUR BODY HEAL FROM OR PREVENT CANCER. THERE ARE MANY MORE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BUT THIS IS A GOOD START ANYONE CAN FOLLOW. YOU WILL NOT HEAR THIS FROM MOST ONCOLOGISTS. THESE LITTLE STEPS CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!

The more of these you can follow, the better off you will be.

READ BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION BY PATRICK QUILLAN
This is the bible of nutrition for cancer patients. Following these guidelines immediately will give the body the optimum chance for recovery. This is imperative! The standard American diet is the least healthy diet on planet and the health of our nation reflects this. Many of the foods in the current American diet actually cause cancer. There are also many foods that help the body fight cancer. You must learn which ones promote and which ones inhibit cancer. This book lays out a very clear path for eating for good health.

READ CANCER: STEP OUTSIDE THE BOX BY TY BOLLINGER
This is the most informative book on all things cancer. It has a lot of great information about the history of cancer, current treatment methods as well as home remedies. I would suggest reading this book BEFORE deciding on treatment. The current model of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation is completely INEFFECTIVE and often times does much more harm then good. Two of the main causes of cancer are a toxic body and a depleted immune system. Most conventional cancer treatments do not address either of these issues. If the root cause is never addressed the cancer often comes back. This is a typical result of conventional treatments. Chemotherapy and radiation poison the body to the point that all of the body’s natural defenses are destroyed, thus leaving little chance to fight off a recurrence. The main stream cancer industry is a 200 BILLION dollar per year industry. It is a giant cash cow that many of the large companies do not want to see dry up. Cancer has been cured naturally for over 100 years but the big drug companies do their best to keep the general public in the dark about the true causes and cures. The industry uses lies and misinformation and prays on the fears and lack of education of the general public to continue the vicious cycle it created. See the list of books below for more insight.

READ THE 9 STEPS TO KEEP YOUR DOCTOR AWAY BY DR RASHID BUTTAR This book is a great guide for anyone looking to live a healthy lifestyle. It is a great resource that should be referred to often.

EAT ORGANIC FOODS Eat organic fruits, vegetables and meats when possible. It is best to avoid non organic meats, since they are often pumped with steroids, growth hormones and antibiotics which eventually end up in our systems. The same can be said for non organic milk, it is loaded with chemicals that have no business in the human body. Check www.ewg.com for a list of chemicals used on fruits and vegetables. Some produce are loaded with as many as 37 different pesticides (strawberries being the most contaminated) which we eventually consume. These have been linked to cancers as well as neurological and reproductive disorders. Organic foods have no chemical pesticides and contain no genetically modified organisms. Eating organic and local is the healthiest and most sustaining system. It is good for both us and the environment. The documentary FOOD MATTERS is an eye opening account of the current state of our food system.

ELIMINATE SUGAR FROM THE DIET!!!! Cancer feeds on sugar. Feeding cancer by consuming sugar is counterproductive to the healing process. ( This includes sodas, desserts, cookies, processed foods, WHITE SUGAR, etc....) High fructose corny syrup, now being called corn sugar is the main cause of obesity as well as contributing to cancers of all types. Aspartame, which is the main ingredient in diet sodas and things like equal is a neurotoxin which has bee linked to almost every disease on the planet. Trans fats are also extremely dangerous and are linked to cancer, diabetes and obesity. Trans fats are found in things like margarine, french fries, chips, candy etc.... STAY AWAY FROM ALL PROCESSED FOODS.

LEARN TO READ FOOD LABELS This one is very important. It is vital to know the ingredients in the foods. The actual ingredient list is what needs to be read. The labeling on the front which often claims low fat or high in protein is nothing but a marketing ploy. There are over 15,000 added chemicals to processed foods used for flavor, color, fillers and for preservation. Most of these chemicals were not meant to be consumed!!!! If there is a long list of ingredients and you do not recognize them and they are difficult to pronounce, STAY AWAY!!!!!!! The simpler and shorter the ingredients list the better. Below is an example of two different types of peanut butters. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS IF GOD MADE IT, IT IS FIT FOR CONSUMPTION. IF IT IS A MAN MADE CREATION IN A LAB, DO NOT EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS FIRST PICTURE IS AN INGREDIENT LIST YOU SHOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS. SADLY, THIS INGREDIENT LIST IS THE NORM. NOTICE THE LAUNDRY LIST OF CHEMICALS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANY OF THOSE THINGS ARE, I DO KNOW THEY ARE NOT MEANT FOR CONSUMPTION.


Real peanut butter with no added chemicals ingredient list looks like this.
Ingredients
Organically grown, dry roasted unblanched (with peanut skins) peanuts






FIND CLEAN DRINKING WATER!!!!! The best I have found is REVERSE OSMOSIS which can be purchased at most health food stores. Most water is heavily contaminated with chlorine, sewage and pharmaceutical drugs to name a few. Bottled water is also heavily contaminated! Fluoride is added to city water which has been linked to neurological disorders and cancers. It is imperative to drink clean water to filter out the body of toxins.

ELIMINATE TOXINS FROM HEALTH CARE AND CLEANING PRODUCTS The average American uses 9 personal care products per day. These includes soaps, shampoos, deodorants, tooth paste, dish soap, detergent, makeup, lotions and sunscreens to name a few. Most of the big name brands are extremely toxic! All of these products that are rubbed onto the skin are eventually absorbed through the skin into the blood. The best resource I have found to check the toxicity of these products is www.cosmeticdatabase.org. This is a great website to determine whether or not the products you use are safe. The most popular products are often filled with the most chemicals, making them the most harmful. The same logic applies for this as does with food. The shorter the list of ingredients and more natural, the better off. A good book dealing with toxins in the environment is THE HUNDRED YEAR LIE BY RANDALL FITZGERALD.

Below are ingredient lists from two different lotions. The first is loaded with man made chemicals. It was ranked 8 out of 10 on a toxicity scale ( 10 being the worst) This is what most of the big name product ingredient lists look like. These chemicals contribute to cancer. Stay away!!!!!
Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive Treatment Body Lotion; Ingredients from packaging: WATER/EAU, MINERAL OIL/HUILE MINERALE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE, PEG-100 STEARATE, ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, STEARETH-2, DIMETHICONE, LANOLIN OIL, STEARETH-20, ORYZA SATIVA (RICE) BRAN OIL, SQUALENE, SODIUM LACTATE, SODIUM PCA, UREA, LANOLIN ALCOHOL, LECITHIN, ALANINE, GLUTAMINE, GLYCINE, HISTIDINE, SERINE, GLYCINE SOJA (SOYBEAN) OIL, SOY LECITHIN, TREHALOSE, PHYTIC ACID, ALLANTOIN, PHOSPHOLIPIDS, SPHINGOLIPIDS, ORANGE ROUGHY OIL/HUILE D'HOPLOSTETE ORANGE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, CHOLETH-24, CETETH-24, IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA, METHYLPARABEN, CARBOMER, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, BHT, DIETHYLHEXYL SODIUM SULFOSUCCINATE, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE

This lotion below is filled with naturally occurring ingredients. There are no man made chemicals whatsoever. This tested at a 0 out of 10 on toxicity scale. Another good rule of thumb for this is IF YOU CANNOT EAT IT, DO NOT RUB IT ON YOUR SKIN!!!!!!!!

BADGER NUTMEG & SHEA EVERY DAY MOISTURIZER
Ingredients from packaging: *Vitellaria Paradoxa (Shea) Butter, *Cera Alba (Beeswax), *Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil, *Olea Europaea (Extra Virgin Olive) Oil, CO2 Extracts of *Myristica Fragrans (Nutmeg) Butter, *Myristic Fragrans (Nutmeg), *Hippophae Rhamnoides (Seabuckthorn Berry), *Rosa Canina (Rosehip), and *Rosemarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) * = Certified Organic

STAY AWAY FROM PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS There is not one pharmaceutical drug on the planet that cures any ailment. They are designed to treat symptoms, not the root cause. They often times cause an even larger imbalance in an already imbalanced body. They often require another medication to combat the side effects. Watch a drug commercial and listen to the list of side effects at the end. They are often time much worse than the actual problem. The pharmaceutical industry’s sole motive is profit. Their business relies on the sick and uneducated. Those who achieve health and balance have no need for pharmaceutical drugs. They are all poison! They may provide short term relief for ailments but it is preferable to totally eliminate their use.

DO NOT USE THE MICROWAVE!!!! The microwave emits low levels of radiation which are linked to cancer. The radiation changes the DNA of the food stripping vital nutrients. Avoid exposure to radiation from cell phones, x rays and power lines. All of these have been directly linked to abnormal cell mutation( cancer).

USE SAFE COOKWARE Eliminate the use of all plastics when possible, especially when heated!!! Teflon and most non stick pots and pans leach toxic chemicals into the food. The best cookware is stainless steel, cast iron, glass and copper. Choose stainless steel or wood utensils, especially when dealing with heated foods.

EXERCISE IS IMPERATIVE!!!!!! Humans being need to be active to stay healthy. I found yoga to be the most beneficial exercise! The benefits of exercise are too long to list. This one is a no brainer. It integrates both mind and body. Having a healthy body and a strong mind are essential for optimal health.

MEDITATION I found the guided meditation by Rod Stryker (www.parayoga.com) worked the best for me. The track Flame of Spirit on the cd 3 meditations to live by is a wonderful start. It takes the listener through a guided visualization seeing the body heal itself. Harnessing the healing powers of the mind is vital in the recovery process.

TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS WHEN FACING TREATMENT OPTIONS Often times doctors determine your course of treatment without any input from you. It is your body and you are the one who has to deal with the consequences. If the treatment options don’t feel right, find another doctor. Do your own research, find doctors who use different methods, especially doctors who incorporate holistic healing methods. Cancer is a disease of the entire body, not just the area where the tumor may appear. Cancer is a symptom of a serious imbalance in the body. Chemotherapy and radiation do not address the imbalance. They often make the imbalance much more severe, often times leaving the patient worse off than the were before treatment. Find a doctor who finds the root cause of the cancer and addresses these issues. Traditionally trained oncologists will not address any of these. Western medicine often treats symptoms rather than actual causes. Following this method is a great way to stay in a state of perpetual sickness and be a lifelong customer of the pharmaceutical industry. STAY AWAY!!!!! THE BEST CANCER DOCTOR ON THE PLANET IS DR RASHID BUTTAR AT THE CENTER FOR ADVANCED MEDICINE in Cornelius, NC. www.drbuttar.com.

www.burtongoldberg.com is an excellent resource for anyone looking for some guidance as far as proper treatments. Burton Goldberg wrote the definitive guide on alternative medicine. He has since dedicated his time exclusively to cancer and it’s treatment. He is perhaps more knowledgeable on cancer treatments than anyone on the planet.

HEALTH INFORMATION IS READILY AVAILABLE ON TV AND THE INTERENT. BE VERY MINDFUL OF THE SOURCE OF THE INFORMATION. MAIN STREAM TV STATIONS AND INTERNET SITES ARE BASICALLY OWNED BY THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND LARGE FOOD COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY SPEND THE MOST ON ADVERTISING ON THESE SITES. I GO ON THESE SITES TO CHECK THE HEALTH INFORMATION AND CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MISLEADING MUCH OF THE INFORMATION CAN BE. IT IS VERY BIASED TOWARDS PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND THEIR NEW "BLOCKBUSTER DRUGS". THESE WEBSITES AND TV STATIONS ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF BASHING OR EVEN TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR LARGEST SPONSORS. LOOK FOR WEBSITES THAT TAKE NO MONEY FROM BIG BUSINESS ADVERTISING DOLLARS THAT PROMOTE GARBAGE THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO OUR HEALTH. THE BEST SITES I HAVE FOUND ARE NATURALNEWS.COM AND MERCOLA.COM. THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY OTHER GOOD SITES OUT THERE, THESE ARE THE TWO I HAVE FOUND THE MOST USEFUL.

THIS IS A SHORT LIST OF THINGS ANYONE CAN DO AT HOME TO IMPROVE THEIR SITUATION. SADLY, WESTERN MEDICAL DOCTORS DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE ARE FACTORS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER.

POWER OF THE MIND

Check out this AMAZING video by Bruce Lipton PHD, a cell biologist and best selling author. Bruce discusses the power of the subconscious and conscious minds and the role they play in creating our lives. The mind is responsible for both health and sickness. He debunks the myth that our genes totally control our life. Our genes are merely a blueprint. The myth that we have a certain gene that may give us cancer, heart disease or whatever ailment we believe is hereditary is simply not true. He speaks on the placebo effect and how conventional medicine completely ignores it yet it has been proven to be effective in the healing process. He discusses allopathic medicine's faulty thinking and how it leaves out some very important factors for our body's own ability to heal. I hear so many people talk about how a certain disease runs in their family or that the ailment they have is somehow a product of faulty genes and there was nothing that could be done to avoid it. All myths!!!!!!! The video is fascinating and provides hope for all of us to live better, healthier lives using the incredible power of the mind.
