The Wastebasket Diagnosis

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Fibromyalgia!

 

Fibromyalgia is a relatively newish term, eventually settled on by Western medical types as a label for some nasty symptoms that do not seem to be driven by any biochemical cause—-meaning they who look can not find clumps of little ‘abnormal’ bugs under a microscope to blame it on.

This dis-ease mostly hounds women but was not taken very seriously until the mid to late Seventies.

The word itself is a three-pronged hodgepodge: Fibro – meaning fibrous tissue, my – meaning muscle, and algia – meaning pain.

Symptoms are too numerous to mention. There’s everything from difficulty taking it in (as in swallowing) to difficulty letting it go (as in bowel and bladder abnormalities).

Basically, if you have been saddled with a ‘fibromyalgia’ diagnosis, you hurt all over all the time—-but especially in the morning. You are beset with constant fatigue and you may have difficulty thinking clearly. There are reports that some become ‘hysterical’ at times.  I certainly can’t imagine why anyone in constant pain would get hysterical. (Sarcasm, if you can’t smell it.)

There’s not much hope for fibromyalgia sufferers in the medical department.  Knowledge is severely hampered by conventional thinking/nonthinking. Doctors, themselves, admit they understand so little about the reasons for chronic pain in general, but this doesn’t mean they aren’t willing to provide sufferers with access to various colors of capsules, caplets and pills—-all complements of pharmaceutical industry research.  Anytime pain is involved, the drug companies are right there for us and pleased to be of assistance. (Smell it?)

Some physicians still label the manifestation of all-over muscle pain as a psychosomatic or psychiatric disorder, so don’t look for any help there, unless you want to further complicate your existence with antipsychotics and antidepressants.

Let’s not forget that it wasn’t very long ago that some experts prescribed ‘hysterectomies’ as a treatment for hysterical women with ‘imaginary’ pain or emotional issues. I don’t think they advocated anything similar for men in the same condition. Readers can correct me, though, if I’m wrong.

One of the pet medical theories these days, is the combo cause or the auto-immune deficiency category: Any combination of stress, anxiety, emotional/mental/physical traumas, coupled with poor sleep habits and general physical weakness, can supposedly trigger more pain in those thought to have an inherent sensitivity to pain. Very few among us don’t have an inherent sensitivity to pain, I would imagine. Why else would there be a word for ‘pain’ in every language?

The most recent 21st Century diagnosis, however, calls this syndrome, with its myriad of painful symptoms, a malfunctioning Central Nervous System (CNS).

At least some medical researchers have jumped the biochemical track, though they have no real means of dealing with a malfunctioning CNS that doesn’t cause side effects to the CNS. Ironic, isn’t it?

Go for a nice leisurely 5 mile run, some experts will advise. Enjoy the fleeting yet potent after-effects of endorphins. These strong brain chemicals will take your mind off the pain for awhile, and you can always exercise again to restock your brain receptors.

Hey, I know! Take some steroids and beef up your exercise potential. You have only to ask and Doctors will prescribe prednisone. Never mind what steroids do to your Central Nervous System.

At least exercise activates the lymphatic function, which in turn lowers the effects of pathogens and dead skin cells, but exercise can also overtire you and present more challenges to the basic body systems, not to mention your kidney chi.

Another thing you can try for solace is a‘support group’, mainly for those who are also suffering—-a veritable pain club. It’s an opportunity for people to learn and talk about their pain, hear about other people’s pain, and pool their hope for a cure. Sounds pretty dismal and I don’t think misery really loves miserable company.

How can any real relief be found for such a misunderstood pain? How can ‘cures’ be found for the Central Nervous System when the only cures that researchers even look for are biochemical in nature?

After all, changing the body’s chemistry is a pretty simplistic way to deal with a malfunctioning CNS, but that’s the theme these days. No matter what type of physical, mental or spiritual pain, blame it on the chemical makeup of the body and you’re approach is unquestionably sacred.

Fortunately, there are alternatives—–just not any alternatives that are commonly accepted or commonly known.

So the question you have to ask yourself is this… can an intuitive non-conventional approach to dealing with chronic pain work? Well, the conventional approach doesn’t.

That you already know.

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes….

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Physical pain generally has its roots in stagnation. Let’s just define stagnation as non-flow or toxic back up, much like the environmentally challenged pond on the left.

When the body’s normal fluid-flow slows down or stops, toxic sludge begins to pool, often resulting in blockage and overworked body systems. This blockage can lead to congestion, inflammation, infection and infestation.  Pain most always follows.

To make matters worse, the circulatory, energetic, and lymph systems of the body just can’t  meet the increased demands to carry away and dispose of all the waste. The lymph system in particular gets challenged.

Some people think that the consumption of the correct nutrients or antibiotics is the most important step at this point.

Surprise! Surprise! Food nutrients and meds are not as important as water and the three basic elements:  oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. You can live without food for quite some time, believe it or not. 

What are the consequences, on the other hand, if you don’t have enough oxygen and water? Cells begin to degenerate and die—that’s what. These dead cells cause blockages, and the blockages present the perfect medium for infections and infestations, which in turn cause pain.

This does not mean you need to drink mass quantities of water on an hourly basis. Your body can extract water from anything you eat or drink that contains it.

Only the water bottling companies profit from over consumption of water, certainly not your overworked kidneys. Overworked kidneys challenge the energy systems in general, and low energy is never conducive to optimal body function. ( Oh my god, I said ‘never’.)

When it comes down to it, though, it is infections and/or infestations that cause physical pain. Remove these and there will be no painful sensations.

How do you remove these? There are various roads to take. A good place to start is to strengthen the Lymph. When the Lymphatic System is working as it should, there are no infections or infestations. 

The Lymph System consists of 5 parts: nodes, fluid, channels, ducts and center. The lymph center processes infections and infestations through the liver and kidneys. From there, they go to large intestine and urinary/bladder to be flushed out of the body. Once that happens, any pain will be markedly reduced, or it will even subside altogether.

To minimize and eliminate pain, you should also remove the infections and infestations from the pain sites. Detoxify the sites from all accumulations of dead cells and cellular wastes. Insure this will happen by strengthening the lymphatic system to and from the site.

Ensuring that the energetic system is maintaining all the body processes in working order will reduce the occurrence of pain. When energy is low, there is no cushion of energy between body structures.  Even the body cavities are under attack.

After the energetic system is strengthened, you can pinpoint the non physical cause of the pain, a la Yuen Mastery System style. Using your human intuition, separate from logic, and unfazed by positive and/or negative emotions, you can pinpoint the exact cause. The separation process is a simple two second correction that requires a bit of new information is all.

You can learn to make your intuition function separately from your logical mind and independently from your emotions by consulting a Yuen practitioner, or by joining Dr. Kam Yuen’s monthly teleseminar club. The main reason Dr. Yuen started his club was to get the information out to as many people as possible. if I didn’t think this was a good idea, I wouldn’t tell you about it.

In any case, after pinpointing the exact cause, you strengthen yourself to this cause by thinking of your spinal cord, brain and mind.

How?  Just put your attention there.  Energy flows where attention goes.

Natural Pain Relief for Osteoarthritis: Letting Go

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Relief protocol for treating any painful life condition, such as arthritis, should be based on real results and not the drug companies’ results, folks.  I’m talking about the kind of results that make a difference in your life.

Does anyone know something that works for the pain of this potentially crippling state of dis-ease called arthritis?

(I do I do!)

I found a method that not only works for pain, it works instantly and is lasting.  First, though, it helps to get rid of the conventional approach to pain, along with its conventional mindset.  But that shouldn’t be too hard—especially since the conventional approaches don’t work.  Right?  We can let go of anything that doesn’t work, no problem.

Wrrrong!  That’s the sound of the buzzer you’re hearing. ‘Letting go’ is hard for everybody, no matter what it is.  As human beings, we don’t want to let go of everything.  But not wanting to let go of everything keeps us holding on to something.  Sad to say, that something happens to be the stuff we’d actually be better off letting go of—such as conventional mindsets that cause pain and the spiritual experiences that drive us towards more pain.

OK Ok, so how do we convince ourselves to let go of everything?

How about meditating or chanting ourselves into a non attached state of being or bliss?  Wrrong!  How about letting the high of passion override the pain?  Wrrrrong!  How about loving our pain, loving our suffering, loving our tormentors, our god, our plight in life?  Wrrong! Wrrrrong! Wrrrong! Wrrrooooooooong!!!

Letting go of everything is so much simpler than any of that conventional stuff. I even know someone who teaches the method.  He taught me, plus, he has successfully resolved the pain of hundreds of thousands of folks suffering from any kind of mind body spirit pain, including the pain that gets you saddled with a life sentence of osteoarthritis.

Before people think I’m a pushover bliss bunny type, let me say this.  I am a critical human being, more so than I’d like; convincing me of anything is not an easy task.  I do not even believe my own eyes….I have to experience the same results more than once.  Miracles don’t convince me of anything.  Results have to be consistent.

And now we’re back to results—real results.  With that in mind, here they come: I’ve watched people who could only hobble, walk and climb stairs, people who couldn’t lift their arms above their heads, do jumping-jacks, people who could no longer play the guitar strum away… and so on.

Their pain and limited mobility was more the fault of buying into the misinformation, than it was the result of anything else.  How do I know this?  Because anytime we get to a true causes of pain, it goes away, till there’s none left.  And what keeps us from getting to the true cause?  —Our limited mindsets and our continued commitments to what hasn’t work.

Here is the conventional way of looking at osteoarthritis that most people accept without batting an eye:  Wear and tear on the joint is the reason we have been given for this ‘degenerative joint disease’.  Sometimes they blame it on your mama or your daddy (tell you the degeneration is genetic) and a few people like to claim it’s all in what you eat.  A conventional diagnosis is generally accompanied by scientific data straight out of the Fifties, called X-Rays, along with the information that if you live past fifty, you’re gonna get it.  (Better get ready ’cause here it comes!)

And yet, why do some people become crippled and not others?  Is it really genetic?  Is it really because there’s not enough high quality oils in your diet…. Or because you eat too many acidic foods….Or you drink too much coffee…Or you broke your foot when you were a kid?

What if they’re all wrong?

Back to the accepted hypothesis: Conventional diagnosis says that wear and tear is caused by micro-traumas to the smooth lining of the joint or cartilage.  Repeated rubbings and knocks cause them to flake and crack. As the cartilage degenerates, the underlying bone can become thicker and distorted. Movement can become painful and restricted, which can lead to limited use of the muscle associated with that joint.  The underlying muscle may gradually atrophy resulting in even more limited movement.

Trumpet Blast, Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We need to get that scenario out of our heads immediately.

Now let’s look at the condition called osteoarthritis from three perspectives–physical, mental and spiritual. Physically it’s the result of  insufficient waste product removal which in turn dissolves the joint.  The waste products and dead material, such as skin cells, make a good home for parasitic bacteria, fungi, yeasts and viruses, that destroy the joint even further.

Drum Roll……………………………………………!

For the physical level we want to use corrections that reverse this condition even down to a cellular level:  we correct for stiffness and rigidity, we correct to reduce and eliminate stagnation, blockages , congestion, inflammation, calcification and mineralization in the cells.

Now we address the mental and emotional level.  Thinking and emotions play a big roll in dis-ease and pain.  That’s why they too need addressing.  So we look at a variety of emotions and mental states or whatever tests weak:  anxiety, fear, tension over-guarding oneself from life experiences, over internalizing, overreacting and so on.

Last, but not least, we correct the cause-and effect spiritual experiences.  And Voila!

There’s nothing like the three component approach.  It works!  Works on pain every single time!  Because,  it takes into consideration the whole picture of the body mind spirit.   Leave out one of the components. and the results won’t be as effective or lasting. Period.

I only know one method that addresses the body mind spirit and assumes nothing.  Dr. Kam Yuen developed it in response to the pain he encountered in his travels.  He teaches you how to do it, too.

If you connect with Dr. Yuen, you can experience pain relief for yourself.  His results are guaranteed!

There are four ways to connect: 1) Join his club http://www.millionariehealer.com 2) Attend a physical seminar www. YMSeminars.com or 3)Get a private consultation YMSeminars. 4)Participate in a teleseminar.


Repeat After Me: “Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide is My Friend!”

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Wanna learn a thing or two about MMS? Another name for it is Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide.

Whatever you want to call it, though, the stuff is awesome!  MMS rips apart pathogens like no body’s business, killing them dead with no nasty side effects.  Pathogens just disintegrate and fall into the black holes of your body, folks.  Plus, less pathogens equals less pain.

If you didn’t know your body had black holes, though, you’d better join the millionariehealerclub.com or attend a Dr. Kam Yuen physical seminar.  (The next one is module 1 in Toronto, July 11-12, followed by module 2 in San Rafael, CA July 17-18 ).

Back to disintegrating pathogens. Malaria is a prime example.  When exposed to stabilized chlorine dioxide, malaria cannot survive.  Black mold is another life form that goes its harmless way after getting a dose of stabilized chlorine dioxide.

Just so we are clear.  Pathogens are harmfully infectious agents:  viruses, fungi, bacteria, molds, yeast, and who knows what other little buggers, as yet undetected by modern microscopic equipment.

Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide is your friend. (Repeat after me…”stabilized chlorine dioxide is my friend.”)

Seriously folks, It cruises through the body like a mini tornado sniffing for electrons to rip apart. By using MMS, you are helping your body rid itself of pathogens that wantonly colonize human tissue, bone and/or blood with no regard for your continued existence.  Don’t just sit there cringing! Paralysis won’t get you anywhere!

Do something right now about unwanted bacteria, fungi, molds, yeasts and viruses.  In other words, do something about the common cold, yeast infections and the Swine Flu:  Swallow a few drops of stabilized chlorine dioxide and feel the benefits throughout your entire body.  Feel it cruise through your cells like a mini tornado sniffing for pathogenic electrons to rip apart.

I’ll tell you another thing Dr. Yuen says:  When you rid your mouth of low level infections, other body cavities improve too.  Dr. Yuen talks about body cavities all the time—how they tend to mimic each other.  Once again, if you don’t know about body cavity mimicry, you’d best join Dr. Yuen’s Club.

The Chicken or the Nest Egg?

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

What is the best way to control people?  ….thinking….thinking…still thinking. Time’s up!!

Control their finances, you silly goose!  Isn’t it lack of money that keeps most people slaving all their lives?  At least for their families, if not for themselves?  If you’ve got children, you gotta keep going for their sake.

People who jumped out of the windows during the Great Depression were probably the childless ones. Prior to the great depression, suicide in the US was 14 per 100,000 but rose to 17 per 100,000 in 1932, shortly before FDR was elected.

Oh, Ok, some of you die hard anti-establishment types will try to say that money isn’t the most important thing in your life—that you’ve risen above the almighty dollar.  You probably try to say that you’re health is really where it’s at.

My daddy used to tell me that all the time: “If you don’t have your health, Laura, you don’t have anything.”  I believe you, daddy, I would nod my head in agreement and I grew up to own a health food store.  Lately, though,I’ve been rethinking my daddy’s wisdom.

IN 2008, “Good Morning America” did a segment titled “Recession Depression”. Reporter Chris Cuomo explained personal finances have people so stressed out that they are developing health problems.

“A rising tide of distress is going to be manifest in mental health problems, suicide rates, heart disease,” said Dr. Redford Williams—the expert, Cuomo interviewed.

In truth, we have a real chicken and egg dilemma here, folks.  What comes—the collapse of your health or the collapse of your finances?  They are pretty much intertwined in this country.

Even if you do have private health insurance, the percentage you have to pay out of pocket for a so-called serious condition can kill you.   If your health collapses, generally speaking, your finances aren’t far behind.  And conversely, if your finances collapse, your health generally follows suite.

So back to the original question.  What’s the best way to control people?  Governments control people by taxing them almost to the point of no return–it keeps their minds off the issues.  Religions scarf up as much of the money as they possibly can, too, even begging from the poverty stricken masses, then abandoning them.

Take the Catholic Church, for example, closing down its neighborhood churches and schools under the pretense of poverty, even saying those puny law suits against their pedophile priests broke the bank.

The Catholic Church has the right to close down any of its franchises when they under perform.  Doesn’t it?

At least, that’s how they look at it.  Being in the soul saving business, though, you’d think they’d take some responsibility for the poor folks they’ve hooked to their pap. Closing churches, on one hand, and telling people they’ll go to hell for not attending on the other is pretty unconscionable.

And now it’s time for a quote from the Church’s representative.

‘The Catholic church,’ one nationally syndicated priest said, ‘must be the biggest corporation in the United States. We have a branch office in every neighborhood. Our assets and real estate holdings must exceed those of Standard Oil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined. And our roster of dues-paying members must be second only to the tax rolls of the United States Government.’

What a cruel joke on the poor people they beg from!  The Catholic Church has more money than any other country, bank or organization in the world.  Vatican City is a recognized international territory under international law. The Pope rules over the body, the mind and the spirit combined, and his influence goes far beyond the small borders. 

The Catholic Church in its glory days used to controlled a great deal of the world out right and call the shots, like the crusades, for instance—those were some shots.  The central headquarters of the Catholic Church has never been invaded, seized or pillaged—meaning, all that money has been accumulating in banks for years—just amassing and accruing interest on the interest for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Not to mention, the values of their antiques, buildings and properties just climb and climb.   Five hundred years ago people bought their way to heaven.  The Catholic Church would sell them lots in a gated paradise for a hefty price, only affordable to the wealthiest noblemen, of course.  A rich bad guy used to be able to buy himself a nice spot behind the pearly gates with a view next to God.

My cousin bought her way out of a Catholic marriage once, so she could marry someone new and stay in good standing with the Church.  All she had to do was pay a thousand bucks to get a piece of paper in the mail saying she was never married in the Catholic Church.  The Church probably turned a handsome profit on that 1000, too.   They got some savvy investors working for them.

“The Vatican’s treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest. But this is just a small portion of the wealth of the Vatican, which in the U.S. alone, is greater than that of the five wealthiest giant corporations of the country. When to that is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.

Rational assesment….hmmm,  there’s a thought.  Could we have a round of rational assessment, please?  My treat.

Spiritual Teachers Are Obsolete!

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

“People use their intuition with things they care
about. Many women are most intuitive with their
relationships and children, whereas men often show
a great degree of ‘gut instinct’ in work and business.”

— Sonia Choquette: Spiritual teacher and author

(’Spiritual teacher‘. Hmmm, are we impressed yet?)

The truth is, folks, I’m not sure spirits can be taught much of anything—they are a fairly unruly bunch, flitting through the ethers with unfettered access to all past present and future experiences.  The way I see it,  spirits could use an equally strong mind and body to balance them out a bit.  What do you think?

If it’s so great being a spirit, why do so many of them hang around and try to tell us what to do? They had their chance/chances.

OK, OK, I’ll give the spirits a break.  After all, they do mean well, I’ve been told.  I’ll even resolve some of their spiritual experiences that are still bogging them down.

Spirits bogged down with their own spiritual experiences!  Oh my!

With all the negative stuff you hear from spiritual teachers about the body and mind, those unsung components of the body mind spirit triad still got a lot going for them.   It’s OK not to believe me, though.  I don’t put spiritual teacher after my name and wouldn’t want that position for all the tea in China.

I don’t even cotton to those who do.  I prefer my life coach—Dr. Kam Yuen.

Just ask Dr. Yuen. He’ll tell you flat out about the spirit, plus he speaks from a place of amazing results.   The spirit, says Dr. Yuen, should not be allowed to beat up on its fellow components—the body or the mind.  In the  body mind spirit triad, each component should be equally strong with strong internal and external boundaries, and each component should be separate from the other—like good roommates.

Thank you, very much.  I do have a body and a mind for awhile longer, and there must be a reason to let everything function at its optimum, instead of making any part suffer—-as some spiritual teachers would have me do.

Dr. Yuen doesn’t put spiritual teacher after his name, either.  What he says, though, makes more sense and gets exponentially better results than anything I’ve ever heard or tried.  But then again, I’ve never been drawn to spiritual teachers as a species.  I figure if a person has something to teach, it will spring out quite naturally at me like something worth learning.

Furthermore, if that’s the best quote Ms. Choquette has to offer, everyone reading this post should put spiritual teacher and author after her or his name.  

Her ‘quote of the day’ came to me in an email from Nightingale Conant—self proclaimed world leader in personal development.

I’ll tell you what….why not send me your quotes of the day…. original or otherwise.

Letting Go In the Canary Islands

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

beautiful-canary-island volcano Mt Shasta painreliefeventWhen people talk about the Canary Islands, they’re referring to seven main volcanic islands and several islets that form a chain extending for ~ 500 km across the Atlantic, its eastern edge being only 100 km from the NW African coast.

Everyone knows these islands were formed by volcanic eruptions, caused mostly by hotspots in the oceanic crust; but no one knows for certain why the lava erupted in this particular area of the Atlantic Ocean and when the land masses formed.  The actual origin of the magmatism in the Canaries and its complicated space-time relationships have been a subject of debate for many years.

Here is a link to some fine pictures of volcanic formations throughout the archipelago. Calderas and fissure vents (linear openings through which lava erupts) are abundant.

If you want some interesting historical data, present day statistics and/or tourism info, follow this link to Wikipedia.

Personally, I’m interested in the food aspect, and Wikipedia doesn’t say much about what’s to eat. After carefully combing the internet, I’ve found something that looks mighty tasty:  Canary Islands’ cuisine, I’m told, combines traditional Spanish recipes with African and Latin American influences.

Malvasia

A very simple and well-known Canary Island recipe, for example, is papas arrugadas: potatoes boiled in salt-water with their peelings on then served with mojo picon,a hot sauce of oil, garlic, chili-peppers and paprika. Yum, yum yum.  Click the above links for tried and true authentic recipes.  The local Canarian wine, a mellow flavored and not too sweet concoction from the Malvasia grape, compliments all the spiciness.

In addition to the divinely natural architecture, humans have created some fine masterpieces in the larger cities. There is everything from Moorish to Modern, the latter of which can be seen in the picture.modern-las-palmas

Wikipedia doesn’t tell you this, either, but Las Palmas is famous for its miracle cures.  Tourists have been frequenting the Canary islands for centuries in search of alternative health cures.  The natural beauty of this area, along with the temperate climate, make for a friendly, open thinking environment–one that is good for letting go of conventional ideas. (Hint Hint)
