HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Principal Therapy – blood purification.

Use a low protein, low fat, non-processed diet.  Fat is the worst enemy of the liver.  All heated fats should be avoided- no fried foods.  Avoid beer which supplies the body with carbohydrates which in turn produce fatty deposits. 
 
Use sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and flaxseeds.  Suggested foods are bee pollen, green leafy vegetables, apples, all citrus fruits and juices, garlic, onions, pears, peaches, watermelon and its juice, sprouts, lemons, cabbage (red and green), spinach, dates and leeks.
 
Use the cleansing diet in this book for ten days and clean the bowels with an enema for five consecutive days.  Exercise daily to increase circulation.  Take one tablespoon of liquid chlorophyll in apple juice four times daily.
 
Short two day fasts every eight to ten days will remove fatty deposits quickly.  Use citrus juices or carrot, apple and spinach juices for this purpose.  Vegetable broths made from leeks, garlic and onions will purify the blood.  Remain on a vegetarian diet.
 
A.      Internal:  Take six hawthorn berry capsules and six chaparral capsules daily, alternating three every four hours.  The circulation is most important when the cholesterol is high.  Warm and cool alternating showers every morning followed with a brisk walk or jogging, is excellent.  Don’t evereat.  Prickly ash tea will improve our circulation (see also stimulants).  Siberian ginseng is used to reduce cholesterol.  Take two capsules three times a day between meals and first thing in the morning.  If they cause nervousness, reduce dosage.  Ginseng is not to be taken if there is inflammation, or fevers anywhere present in the body.
 

B.      Hydrotherapy:  Take cool, whole baths and warm and cool showers daily.

WORDS vs THOUGHTS

Someone left a comment on a Facebook post, which was in regards to a YouTube video of Nahko Bear’s, Black As Night, where the song says, “I am no master, I know nothing, but I am a servant and I know something.”  The person who left the comment did not like the word servant; he said I am no ones servant.  I commented back that I don’t think that’s what Nahko meant when he wrote this song.  Meaning, I am a servant to all that is living; I am a servant to the Earth; if I see someone in need, I offer my service to assist.

He said, all the same words are powerful and he didn’t like the song, because of that one word.  I gave him a thumb up, because yes it’s true that words are powerful.  But what’s even truer is the thought behind the word. 

Take for instance when I call my dog a turd, I’m not saying she’s a worthless piece of shit.  I’m playing; being playful.  There’s nothing sinister at play here.  There is no negativity associated with the thought.  The dog isn’t offended.  Actually, she’s a real clown.  Very mischievous!  She loves to play.

If I call my wife an asshole, because she’s clowning around, she doesn’t get offended.  Now if I called her asshole out of anger because I didn’t agree with something she did, it would be a different story, she would be angry. 

Recently a friend described me as someone who is into healing.  Healing is like a tree limb branching off from the trunk; it is only one aspect of mastering your own thoughts.   And that is what I’m into.  The human mind is a powerful instrument.  And it has been proven many times over that what you think and feel has a huge affect on your life.  Your health included. 

This past summer I was a student learning how to separate my ego from my spirit.  I’m still learning of course.  Again, recognizing your ego is another branch of the tree to learning to master your thoughts.

Anyway, it seems to be working for me.  I’ve come a long way since I had that surgery back in December that turned my life upside down.  I’m happy again.  I feel I’m vibrating at a higher frequency.  All is good.  I love life!  Still, I know I wouldn’t be as happy today if I didn’t make that conscious effort to control my thoughts.  Life is a lesson, and I am a student, as well as a servant.

I ME MINE

This past Labor Day Weekend we had a party.  We live in Florida, did not put our swimming pool up this year due to some medical issues.  So to keep it cool, while we cookout and party outside, I came up with a game.  Everyone was asked to bring their squirt guns and water blasters to the party.   Next we had to come up with an idea to give people a reason to get wet.  So we thought of a word that is used often, and came up with the word, “I.” To make it even more interesting I added the words, “Me, mine and my,” to the list of forbidden words.

We had a blast!  Not only was it fun, but we all learned that these words are used quite often in our society.  Most indigenous societies do not know these words of possession.  They use words like we, us and ours.  They do not think in the singular, but instead their thoughts are in regards of the community as a whole.

So today we challenge you to make it your mission to replace these words of possession (I, me, mine, my), with the words that represent your household as a whole (we, us, ours).  Please feel free to leave comments.

OCEAN

Looking at the ocean is like viewing eternity.  It’s where the land meets the water, and the water meets the sky.  The four legged ones, the fish, and the winged ones join together at this intersection.  The ocean is ancient.  It has and always will be.  The air, it’s the same as you breathe – our breath becomes one.  You can feel her power as the waves breathe life into the air.  Cleansing all who stand before her in admiration.  Her song is as memorizing as the world she holds deep in secret, waiting to be shared by all.
 
She can be soft and smooth. I know she feels peace.  Wild and raging her emotions motivate me; moving and directing me like a grain of sand at her feet.  As I stand in the water, she kisses me with the white caps of her waves.  Pure and excepting she wipes away my troubles and comforts me.  Oh how I feel free!  Love pours from my heart and into the sea.  She is special.  She means everything to me.  This is my heaven, made by God for all to be.
 
For those of you who can not be by the ocean today, please enjoy the following inspirational videos:

FORGIVING BP

Did you know that there is medical evidence that your thoughts play a significant role in your health?

I had Diverticulitis and it caused my bowel to perforate.  On a metaphysical level it is suggested that diverticulitis is a condition caused by "blaming others for failing to prevent unpleasant experiences from happening and refusing to forgive them."

At first I was scratching my head thinking who am I not forgiving?  I know the importance of forgiveness, and how it can affect ones health.  But I never considered a corporation as an entity that I needed to forgive.  A friend, who is a healer, suggested to me that it could possibly be the BP oil spill.  Like she said, they took something away from me, and I was forced to deal with it. 

I live in Pensacola, Florida, and I had not swum in the Gulf of Mexico since Memorial Day Weekend in 2010, due to the Deepwater Horizon Disaster.  Following that holiday weekend is when the tar balls began to wash ashore.  And it affected me deeply.  I was so sad and depressed, as well as the rest of the community.  I fought tooth and nail to get others to realize what BP was trying to hide with their false advertising and total disregard for the environment.  In addition there were other stresses associated with the movement, like the clash of egos among community leaders. 

In the fall of 2013, I felt it was time to let go, yet I found myself getting wrapped up in the BP drama from time to time still.  A year later and I was feeling the symptoms of diverticulitis.  By December 2014, I was in the hospital. 

I was released from the hospital in January 2015.  Right after the 5 Year Anniversary of the BP Oil Spill (April 20th), I found myself in the hospital a second time.  Again I had allowed myself to get caught up in the BP drama, by being asked to get involved with events aimed to honor the anniversary.  Believe it or not, I was actually diagnosed with diverticulitis a second time (very unusual).

Just recently, a friend turned me onto this book called, “The Power of Now,” by Eckhart Tolle (A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment).  Over five million copies sold.  It’s all about enlightenment and keeping track of your thoughts; the conscious mind verses the ego.  By being a witness to your thoughts, instead of allowing your mind to just wonder while being unaware of what you are truly thinking about, is a step towards living in the now; letting go of the past, don’t dwell on future events that have not happened yet. 
 

Now here are a few quotes I want to share from the book:


Ø      “If you believe on a deep level, in separation and the struggle for survival, then you see that belief reflected all around you and your perceptions are governed by fear.  You inhabit a world of death and of bodies fighting, killing, and devouring each other.”


Ø      “If you feel called upon to alleviate suffering in the world, that is a very noble thing to do, but remember not to focus exclusively on the outer (world), otherwise, you will encounter frustration and despair.”


Ø      “This also applies if you are supporting a movement designed to stop deeply unconscious humans from destroying themselves, each other, and the planet, or from continuing to inflict dreadful suffering on other sentient beings.”  Otherwise you will create an enemy and be drawn into unconsciousness yourself.


Ø      “Only those who have transcended the world can bring about a better world.”


Ø      “Peace is your is your most precious gift to the world.”

 
Most of this I already knew to be true.  And I pretty much conveyed this message in my book, “The Crude Oil Adventure of the Human Re-Evolution.”  I’ve been a student of metaphysics for several years now, and most of what I have learned, I have put into practice. 
 
After four years of meditating and praying over for the ocean water in the Gulf of Mexico, I can say the small fish have returned to the shoreline, and several turtles have returned as well; ghost crabs everywhere. So, I finally took a dip into the water that I once considered toxic.  I’ve played in the waves, and I let go of my fear and felt the freedom and power of the ocean once again.  It was certainly a forgiving experience.

We all have a choice.  It’s all about perspective.  Anger, anxiety, hate, jealousy, these are all negative emotions.  Love, gratitude, compassion, these are positive emotions.  When I view the BP Oil Spill now, I am grateful for the experience.  It helped me to evolve spiritually.  It is taking a negative event and viewing it in a positive light.

No more anger – just forgiveness, followed by peace.  Peace Out!

JESUS & THE EVOLUTION OF MAN

Why do you think God sent Jesus to Earth?  Think about it.  The Bible was already written (The Old Testament).  Did Jesus preach the Old Testament?  The answer to that question is – NO. 

Jesus was a rebel who condemned the Jewish rabbi’s.  The old way left no room for mankind to evolve.  This is demonstrated in the bible at John 2:3-4, when Jesus pops off to his mother, “Woman, how does your concern affect me?”

This passage is symbolic of evolution.  We take from what we learn from our parents and build upon it.  We evolve.  If we continue to live by the old way there is no room to rise spiritually (to become better people).

We are like flowers in a garden.  The seed is planted; we are born.  Sometimes we have too much water, or too much sun.  We are a product of our environment.  We struggle as we grow towards the Son in the sky.  Yet as we struggle we are shaped and molded by a force greater than ourselves.  We are different colors and come in all shapes and sizes, and when you look upon the garden from up above its breathtakingly beautiful.  But if we only focus on what surrounds us from here on Earth, we don’t see the garden as a whole.  Instead, we compare ourselves to the other flowers and judge ourselves accordingly.  But what’s even more important is that while one flower may need lots of water, another may need only the sun.  This is why it is significant for each flower to read the bible themselves, and not follow the belief of another.  A priest, a rabbi, a minister, their personal interpretation does not necessarily apply to you. 

God gave us free will for a reason.  Free will is free to think for your self.

Jesus said, “I came in the name of my Father, but you do not accept me; yet if another comes in his own name, you will accept him,” John 6:43.

So if you say you love me, but do not think that I am entitled to the same basic human rights as you, as afforded under man’s law, because of something you read in the Old Testament, then you are ignoring the teachings of Jesus.   You are denying your self the freedom to grow and to become a better human being.  For all people are equal and should be treated with the same respect as you expect for yourself.   When Jesus gave us the last commandment and said to love one another, he didn’t mean love without respect.  To love is to accept and support; for love knows no boundaries. And as demonstrated by the Gay and Lesbian culture, love knows no gender. 

John 16:1-3, “I have told you this so that you may not fall away.  They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God.  They will do this because they have not known either the Father or me.”

THE POWER OF WORDS

Whether we like it or not, the thoughts and opinions of others can and do influence our lives.  In December of 2014, I woke up after exploratory surgery to find that I now had to wear colostomy bag (temporarily).  While I was more concerned about simply walking again and regaining my strength, I found that most of my family and friends put more emphasis on that colostomy bag.  “Don’t worry Kim, it’s just temporary. The year will fly by in no time.”  Then they would shoot me that look; the one of pity as the visitor waved goodbye.    
 
The hospital supplied me with information regarding how to care for this instrument that was attached to my abdomen.  They told me I could go swimming, and work a job just like before.  Yet my family frowned and said there was no way I could work as long as I had to wear this bag.  What if you get in an embarrassing situation?  What if you have to empty your bag, or even worse yet, what if you have an accident, like a blowout?

I did eventually have that blowout.  I just happened to be at home when it occurred, and my other half was there as well.  If this accident had happened at work, it most certainly would have been one of the most embarrassing moments in my life, and I don’t think I would have been able to cope rationally.  I would have probably run out of the building screaming.  It would have been just as bad if I was at home alone. 

I suddenly came to realize that I had a handicap.  I filed for short-term Social Security Disability.  I answered hundreds of questions regarding my current situation.  And eventually I found myself playing the victim, instead of being a survivor.  I even found myself in the hospital a second time.

This time I had drains hooked to both sides of my body.  I had four total; three of which I had at the same time.  This went on for about 5 weeks.  It really sucked and I knew I had to do something about it, if I was going to have any chance of living a full and happy life again. 

The colostomy bag was mute in comparison to the drains that hung from my sides.  One of the drains had to be flushed daily.  It wasn’t a pleasant experience by far.  Every once in a while I would move the wrong way or too fast and I would feel them pulling at my side.  One of them eventually came lose from my body.

When the drains were finally removed, I felt free.  Even with the colostomy bag, I felt this heavy burden lift from me.  I had lost a lot of weight and strength in the past 6 months due to my illness, but I’m no longer a victim.  I’m a survivor! 

So please, don’t think of me with pity in your heart.  Do not plant the seeds of doubt in my mind by telling me what I can or can not do.  If anything, demand of me now as you had before.  And I in turn will do the same.  Only then are you a help instead of a hindrance. 

Never forget that your words and actions carry power.
