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.

Unevolved Ignoramuses Unite!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Welcome to my website, you unevolved ignoramuses!

How does it feel to know that I’m a Guru and you’re not? Today, I’m going to tell you this simple truth:

Real Gurus need no followers.

Got it? Good.  Let’s move on. Right off the bat, my unevolved ignoramus friends, there are at least a dozen things you won’t ever need to do if you hang out with me:

  1. Love your pain
  2. Tap on miscellaneous body parts
  3. Pluck invisible shit out of the air
  4. Relive the agony of your birth,
  5. Pant like a dog
  6. Think about nothing
  7. Repeat meaningles syllables
  8. Make yourself a pretzel
  9. Stuff white cloths in any of your orifices
  10. Twirl in a circle to Jerry Garcia’s Music
  11. Give spiders a second chance
  12. Pretend everything is all good

You couldn’t stand it if it were all good.

But If any of the above sounds good to you, get the hell off my website.  I gave you enough links.

It doesn’t matter how you feel about me or yourself. Any puny little emotion you can muster up at this point is powerless to do much of anything.  So go ahead… love or hate everyone and yourself to death and while you’re at it, throw in a god or two for good measure—it’s all the same right now.

I’ve got a higher self but I’m holding back.  In other words, don’t expect me to channel my higher self for you unevolved ignoramuses until enough of you are on the same page.  We need to reach critical mass first and I’ll be the judge of when that happens.

Also,  just keep your own higher self to yourself, too  I only want to hear from your lower self and maybe a few in between selves.  Got it?  Good.

As far as higher beings go—there aren’t any beings higher than you, so remember that.

Believing in the Incredible Hulk as the good guy is as good as believing in the one god theory–nobody ever invaded anybody else’s homeland with the Incredible Hulk on their banners and I’ll lay odds they never will.

Supreme beings are for the poor schmucks who need to believe somebody besides their mama cares about them.  And as long as we’re on the subject-I don’t care if your mama loved you or not and neither should you.  Go swallow some cloth!

Trusting in any hanging dudes on a cross, supreme manly beings who hurl shitbolts and/or goddesses that will love you to death keeps you stupid the rest of your life and on in to the next few rounds.

That’s probably enough to swallow for now.   We need to get one thing straight right from the start.  Don’t ever expect enlightenment, you unevolved ignoramuses.

Enlightenment is already your right as human beings.

Got it? Good!

Moses Suffered From Headaches

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Pains in the head, are broken down by medical experts into various categories with their accompanying definitions, as if the mere act of defining and categorizing  them can resolve the pain.

Anyone who suffers from headaches, though, will tell you that having a name for his or her headache does not lessen the pain.   It takes getting to the true cause in the mind body spirit to accomplish that feat.

That is how the Yuen Method works, on the mind body spirit, and it stands on its results.

As far as categories go,  modern medicine finds more all the time:  There are cluster headaches, migraines, tension headaches, hormone headaches, sinus headaches, concentration disorder headaches, too much sun headaches, bipolar headaches and so on.   Traditional medical explanations include stress, lack of sleep, overeating, excessive drinking, too much noise, prescription drug side effects and allergens.

Medically, it has also been noted that susceptibility to migraines tends to run in families, which prompts many ‘experts’ to claim that genetics are involved.  Woe to those who can’t escape their genetic programming!

Let me offer a better approach to the resolution of pain in the head.  I have taken it directly from Dr. Kam Yuen’s book Yuen Energetics.

Pain in the head, Dr. Yuen explains, can be the result of previous injuries and traumas or poison/toxicity. Dr. Yuen’s method treats cluster headaches by testing for multiples of past traumas to the head, face and neck.  He also resolves the possible triggering effects caused by events, sights sounds or smells that set off the painful reactions in the head.

Sometimes it is the triggers that bring up past phobias and fears, as well as other unpleasant memories and/or experiences that occurred at certain times of the year, month or season.  When Dr. Yuen needs to be specific to resolve pain, there is no one who can pinpoint the exact effect like he can.  Period.  His expertise at getting to the root of headache pain is renowned.

When headaches are accompanied by nausea, dizziness and vomiting, for example, Dr. Yuen often finds weakening effects in the spinal cord that might be affecting the circulatory factors (arteries and venous blood flow, lymphatic drainage and energy flows).  For dizziness, he tests for weaknesses in the hyoid bone, cerebellum and the ears, especially in relation to the Central Nervous System.

For nausea and vomiting Dr. Yuen often digestive weaknesses and its relationship to the respiratory, reproductive and Central nervous systems

Pinpointing these true causes of headaches and energetically clearing them takes only seconds, and yet it brings the much longed for relief and resolution that conventional diagnosis and treatment cannot touch.

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.

Forget your hats! Hold onto your brains, folks.

The day draws near for Dr. Kam Yuen’s full moon Mt Shasta Seminar June 6th and 7th (9AM-5PM) at the Mount Shasta Resort. There’s a free lecture demonstration June 4th at 6:30 PM, also at the resort.

How fast does the earth spin?

The speed at which the earth spins varies upon your latitudinal location on the planet. If you’re standing at the north pole, the speed is almost zero but at the equator, where the circumference of the earth is greatest, the speed is about 1,038 miles per hour (1,670 kph). The mid-latitudes of the U.S. and Europe speed along at 700 to 900 mph (1125 to 1450 kph).

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.

INVITATION TO THE MOUNT SHASTA VORTEX

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

HurricaneEveryone is invited to the Mt Shasta Vortex for the Dr. Yuen Full Moon in June Seminar:  June 6th and 7th at the Mt Shasta Resort, to be exact.   Guaranteed to spin your mind!

What in the world is the Mt Shasta Vortex, you’re probably asking, and that’s a tough question.  So let’s  leave the mountain out of it and start with something simple.  A vortex is an energy phenomenon mostly identifiable by what it sets in motion.

We see the effect of this energy phenomenon all the time in nature—hurricanes, tornadoes, dust devils, water spouts, maelstroms etc.  Nothing like a good maelstrom to set you on your way.

The actual whys behind each vortex, however, get gnarly, especially when scientists get a hold of them.  And the poor buggers still can’t tell you the real why for anything, so let’s just plop some of their scientific thoughts out in the open: A vortex, by nature, contains a lot of energy in its circular motion alone. Furthermore,  in an ideal medium, energy can never be dissipated, so a vortex persists forever!

I love that!  Scientists, for all their claim to logic, are the first to go running through eternity spouting their  absolute attitudes.  I read that fun ‘forever’ fact in Wikipedia, and here’s a neat equation I got to go with it.

 \vec \omega = \nabla \times \vec \mathit{u}.

Never mind that the equation refers to a vortex formed in visible components, such as a liquid.   There are no visible components for the Mt Shasta vortex, but we can bare witness to the people’s antics that are spinning around inside it.

Speaking from experience, I find those antics wild and humorous enough to prove that there is a unique energy field around the mounttain, and once again I invite you to participate in the Dr. Yuen full moon in June seminar.  Come enjoy the vortex and decide for yourself.

Be warned, though. When the Mt Shasta vortex gets a hold of you, it is pretty dang insistent, persistent and consistent. Humans of all nationalities and all walks of life succumb to the pull, not to mention that there’s a constant flow out the other end to make room for the new.  I like to call it the Tao of Change.

Laura, signing off.

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)
