Disappear Demons

It’s kind of scary knowing that most of the people who spent the evening watching the Presidential Debate had already made their minds up about whom they were voting for months ago, but still decided to participate.  It’s like they sit there glaring at the T.V. just so they can bitch about who they’re not voting for.  That’s what I’m seeing on Facebook the day after – you know who you are; you can’t deny it. 

If you are one of these people, step back and take a look at your behavior and realize that you had intentionally chosen to allow yourself to engage in an act of aggression. It’s like joining a congress of baboons beating on their chest.

I have one friend who actually video taped the debate from her cell phone camera and made time stamped comments throughout the post, against the candidate that she’s hated on all along, while she’s video taping.  I love this friend to death, but man that’s just funkin’ crazy mad. 

My advise, please just disconnect yourself from that world.  That is not you.  Hating and fightin’ is not the way of love (God, Jesus, Buddha, etc).  Feeding that fire is going to swallow your soul whole; step away from the dark side Skywalkers.  
 
The only power you have in this election, is voting for your favorite candidate on November 8th.  No matter who wins, you will live; you will survive.  Much love ~


 

Arthritis, Gout, Rheumatism Herbal Remedy

(From the book, “Natural Healing With Herbs,” by Humbart Santillo, BS, MH; 1991)

 
Avoid meats, dairy products, coffee, tea, tobacco, and refined foods.  A three day fruit fast monthly will aid in cleansing the blood and joints.  Eating just grapes for two weeks is excellent to overcome this condition.  Clean the bowels weekly with an enema.

Drink distilled water and fresh juices made from carrot, orange, kale, wheatgrass, parsley and apple.  Juice one raw potato and dilute with 25% distilled water or vegetable broth for a morning cocktail.

Two ounces of liquid chlorophyll can be taken daily mixed with apple or carrot juice.


A.                 Internal:  Mix the following herbs together:
                

                              4 parts chaparral

                              2 parts yucca

                              1 part dandelion

                              1 part sassafras

                              1 part prickly ash bark

                              1 part black cohosh

                              1 part ginger root

                              1 part burdock root


      Powder herbs and put into #00 capsules.  Take two, three times each day.


B.                 External:  All purpose liniment:

 
                              1 quart rubbing alcohol

                              ½ ounce oil of eucalyptus

                              ½ ounce of wintergreen


           Mix all ingredients together.  Use for arthritis, rheumatism, sprains, backaches, etc.


C.                Ginger Fomentation

For painful joints, grate five ounces of fresh ginger root and simmer in two quarts of distilled water for ten minutes.  Use as a  fomentation – dip natural fiber cloth into hot liquid and cover the  body part.  Cover this with heavy wool blankets and keep heat in.  Repeat procedure when fomentation cools off.


D.                External:  Fomentation for pains, sprains, and rheumatism:

 
                  2 parts ginger root

                  1 part slippery elm

                  1 part cayenne

                  1 part lobelia


      Make into a fomentation and apply to affected area.


E.                External:  Dry brush the skin daily and get plenty of exercise. Massage and  spinal manipulations will aid in circulation.
 

F.         Hydrotherapy:  Morning and evening take alternating warm and  cool showers for ten minute durations.  Take warm, whole baths three to four times a week.

Earth Health

Which addiction is greater?  The one where a human being shoots heroin in their veins? Or the one where we inject pipes into the Earth, robbing her of her life force? 
 
Our environment most certainly has an impact on our health.  What we do to the Earth is a reflection of how little concern we hold toward our own personal health. We express more fear over second hand smoke than vehicle emissions.  Yet I dare you to wrap your lips around your cars exhaust pipe and take a puff.
 
Plane, train, or automobile, if you travel then you most certainly are contributing to the fever pitch of an ailing planet.  And no, it isn’t as if any of us want to intentionally cause harm to our Earth Mother, but what are we doing to change this addiction to oil and gasoline?
 
We know that the technology to produce electric cars has been available since the 1920’s, and we have spent the past decade or so creating cars that can drive themselves without human interaction, yet we can not produce a car that is environmental friendly?
 
The only way to fight corporate greed is to hit them in their pockets.  Stop purchasing those gasoline operated vehicles from the manufacture.  If you want to buy new, then at least have the courtesy to buy a hybrid or an electric car.  And if you are like me and your pockets are not that deep, then buy used from a local car lot or from a private individual. 
 
Think global and buy local.  You will be doing a favor for yourself as well as the Earth and all of its descendants. You, the consumer have the power!
