Conscious Imagining for a Changing World

Beautiful Planet

If the first three months of 2011 are any indication of what the rest of the year holds, then I think it would be a gross understatement to suggest that it’s going to be quite a ride.

What that statement means to you reveals a lot about where you’re putting yourself in the matrix of potential outcomes.

A large proportion of the population fears that the current chain of events represents the beginning of the end of the world. But that’s not the only possible interpretation. We all agree that change is occurring right now. The vast majority of us would likely agree that change is needed. So if we can agree on those two points, the events that are unfolding is simply how the beginning of what lies ahead looks right now. Everything else that unfolds is potential. It can be heart breaking, or heart warming, a nightmare, or the realization of our most wonderful dreams.

I see this time as a one of great opportunity to learn more about who we are, our spiritual/energetic nature, and what that means, and to imagine new and different outcomes that involve qualities best described in words other than “doom” and “gloom.” Imagination is the unacknowledged power that rests within every human being, used most often unconsciously, or stimulated through fear, limitation, and dread. We’ve grown accustomed to dismissing or discounting this great ability, thinking that the creative experiential process couldn’t be that simple. In other words, it seems unlikely that imagination/visualization plus belief could coalesce into experience.

I ask you to consider while you are reading these thoughts, that it is that simple. Consider that we don’t have to convince anyone else to change in order to change the world. We only have to change ourselves. The motive force behind all harmonic change, is being moved by, through, and in love. It may sound hokey, but it’s true.

If you’re sick, imagine what your life would look and feel like after you healed. Believe it. Love it. Be grateful. Rejoice. If you’re concerned about radiation, imagine what your life would look and feel like as your immune system is protecting you. Believe it. Love it. Be grateful. Rejoice. It doesn’t matter what the problem is. Imagine what your life would look and feel like with the problem solved. Believe it, love it, be grateful and rejoice.

This doesn’t mean we won’t have new challenges (which themselves are opportunities), but let’s get some of the old, clearly outdated ones, off the table.

Guided into Fearful Imaginings

Through education, medicine, science, the media, and many other avenues, we are being guided to imagine far more ignominious outcomes for the planet Earth and humanity, and led to believe that they represent the only possible future. We’ve grown accustomed to fearing the doom and dreading the gloom.

There’s no need to be afraid, but if you are, an option is available. Inquire Within.

Many well-meaning experts are firing off instructions to their email lists, to help their audience best cope with the changing tide… doling out advice on how to survive the anticipated calamity. However, survival mode sets the quality of life index quite low.

This lies at the heart of old school, dualistic, linear thinking. It is “Good Guy/Bad Guy 101,” played out on a grand stage. So “convinced” are we that our methods represent the most advanced possible, we panic when the limitations of our current orthodoxies become self-evident.

Pick your apocalypse.

Pick your apocalypse.

We’ve grown accustomed to watching and rationalizing millions of deaths each year as a result of pharmacology-centered medical treatment schemes. The public is placated by stories of the valiant fight that individuals are waging against the “menace.” Fundraising campaigns suggest we’re getting closer to finding “the cure,” and you can do your part by helping the organizers reach their fundraising goals. Each year over $100 billion are raised, and people keep on dying from the same diseases. Readily available healing methods, which might be called cures, go unpracticed, which health insurance companies would refuse payment.

Do YOU want more of this?

If you don’t, then celebrate the changes that are happening, and imagine how you’d like your new world to be, and know that you won’t be alone.

This is One ‘Cloud’ We Can Do Without

Take the nuclear radiation problem that now troubles so many people around the world. Suppose there was/is an easy fix it? What if it could be achieved through a simple matter of transmutation where, under the proper circumstances and conditions, the toxic elements could, in effect, be “turned off?”

This is not a far-fetched idea. The key could be through the auspices of biological transmutation, a subject that was studied by Louis Kervran (1901-1983), an expert in radiation poisoning.

In The Secret Life of Plants, by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird write about Kervran’s work:

All of this further suggests that in living nature there exists, below the level of Lavoisier’s classical molecular chemistry, a deeper level of nuclear chemistry which associates and dissociates nucleons, the components of atomic nuclei.

Science et Vie has postulated that if plasma-type nuclear reactions take place in bombs, in nuclear reactors and in stars, then there must be a wholly different type of reaction, specifically utilized by life, which brings about fusion in a strangely quiet way. The magazine suggests the analogy of a strongbox which can be opened by dynamite or by a combination lock. Like the lock, the atomic nucleus can prove stubborn when confronted with blind violence but pliable to a skillful manipulation.

This raises the question of whether Dr. Wilhelm Reich was not on track of the discovery of the century when he purported that he had observed at the microscopic energetic visicles or “bions” which are not alive but “carry biological energy.” Exposed to sufficiently high temperatures and made to swell, all matter, even sand, undergoes viscicular disintegration, wrote Reich, and the resulting visicles can later develop into bacteria.

What that means to me is that life is indestructible. The disintegration can be described by such terms as chaos and anarchy. Yet, they are precursors to a reorganization and re-forming of life, and a coalescing into new, improved forms.

While there may be a number of ways to mitigate the effects of radiation, including products such as bentonite clay, iodine, and even MMS, wouldn’t it be better to simply turn off the radioactive clouds?

While I believe it can be done, you have to wonder how many people would scoff at the idea if “pundits” hadn’t already given their stamp of approval.

After seeing how ardently some people are intent on debunking MMS, trying to convince anyone not already familiar with the product that it is dangerous bleach, how open are we to even imagining solutions to human problems if they haven’t come from “approved” channels.

MMS use has been criticized by some apparently naturopathic “experts” who dismissed positive testimonies freely given by many thousands of people. Like their allopathic counterparts, the many stories of success that poured onto the internet after Jim Humble wrote his book, were treated as “anecdotal,” while the erstwhile experts continued to scoff at its use.

Criticism or not, MMS has shown itself to be effective in many areas where satisfactory pharmacological substitutes do not currently exist. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a.k.a. MRSA, the leading cause of hospital-acquired infections which claims over 18,000 lives each year (and rising), is one example.

Yet, for all the claims that MMS is a dangerous bleach, there has not been one death attributed, since its introduction, to its intake, whether used therapeutically as recommended, or even by inadvertent overdose.

Make no mistake, chlorine dioxide is not something you take lightly. It should be used with careful consideration, but without fear. Contrary to what the FDA has suggested in its 2010 warning on MMS, it should be used. We should understand the “when” and “how” to apply it best. This is research that Jim Humble has continued to advance.

In 2011 we have seen the collective Calamity Bar ascend to unprecedented levels, and there is reason to believe that Mother Earth is not done. In part because we, her children, still have some waking up to do.

“Wake up to what”… You ask?

For one, that neither “science” in its current form, nor scientists who consider The Scientific Method to be sacrosanct, have all the answers. And yet, they act as though they do. BP’s scientists and management sure acted that way in the Gulf oil spill of 2010, and we are seeing the pattern repeat itself in the wake of the 2011 earthquake in Japan.

A New Respect for Energy

Radiation is energy, and therefore, has a distinct vibrational frequency. If it has a frequency… of shall I say, if it is a frequency, then it has its own color (light) and audio tone. It may be possible to produce an audible (or inaudible) frequency that safely inactivates radioactive isotopes in the same way that chlorine dioxide inactivates pathogens.

Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971) isolated the frequency of a microorganism that was consistently present in cancer, which he inactivated through the application of a complementary (cancelling) frequency. Patients went into Rife clinics in Los Angeles and San Diego with cancer, and walked out cancer free… in 1931! The Rife device represented one of the first vibrational or therapeutic energy devices to be suppressed by the AMA, and the still nascent FDA, which officially bans the use of this non-invasive technology as a medical device to this day.

An opportunity to imagine a different scenario is at hand.

We have been practicing “checkbook science” for quite some time, long before Louis Pasteur deduced that microorganisms, or “germs” were bad things that could and should be killed off by chemicals. In this thinking we have remained oblivious to the environments, including energetic states, in which certain microorganisms grow. We have neither taught our children, nor ourselves to be aware of, or respect energy. Children who retain their innate sensitivity to, and awareness of energy tend to be “persuaded” to shut it down, or keep it to themselves.

We generally can’t see an energetic state, but we are always in one. That is, because we are one. As such, they tend to follow us wherever we go. They (we) have the ability to bring certain experiences and behaviors into our sphere while keeping others away. The tipping factor?

Us.

Making someone or something else the “bad guy” has played its course for many of us. If you listen to “experts,” they’ll tell you who and what to think of as “bad” today, although it may change tomorrow. Taking no time to do any research on their own, or even engage in creative and courageous imagining, they look to what other “experts” have opined, even if it means resolving ourselves to many years (or lifetimes) of suffering.

I don’t believe that any suffering is necessary and virtually all suffering from chronic and degenerative diseases can be mitigated; and health restored, IF it is truly desired. Not everyone who is chronically ill wants to be well again, but we have to assume that those who are sick, but say that they want to be well again and are willing to take the sometimes lonely journey, are sincere.

The business of degenerative and chronic disease is a sorry game that’s only fun for a very small few, if the word “fun” even applies. It is big business, very BIG. IF it is going to change – that is, if more people are going to become healthy, then they are going to need to be willing to have more, and be more fun. We’re often ready to be serious at the drop of a hat (or news release); having reasons to be heavy, instead of light. And yet, this is where limitation and fear predominates.

The answers that we seek that will resolve the personal, or social challenges of our times, are available to those who have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear. More importantly, to those who have the heart and wisdom to care for the whole, for Mother Earth, and humanity, Her Children, even those who don’t care for us, even over money itself.

The Money Factor

Our belief that money is the key to the solution of every problem, as well as the way to prevent solutions from being known, is part of why we are where we are. It is time to wake up to this fallacy. The “Golden Ring” that one human would think is so valuable, so as to step on, or over others in order to reach, would be fool’s gold. There is no real value in any “success” where the human heart has not been one’s guide.

On the other hand, there are legions among us who believe that their life is somehow “deprived” if they don’t have the latest this or that. They strive to “keep up with the Jones’” (who they may not even like), at the expense of their own happiness.

We are stressing ourselves out over meaningless distractions and pursuits, while meaningful discoveries and truths – about ourselves – go unexamined, and therefore, remain unembraced.

Money has been the goal of many, and the downfall of many more. It is neither a doorway to happiness nor power. Whatever one’s station in life, both happiness and power are abundantly available, if we liberate ourselves from unquestioned, self-limiting beliefs.

One place to begin this redefinition is by being willing to take a kind, loving, and benevolent look at ourselves and others (even if they don’t take us kindly), as well as the future, and don’t be surprised if it turns out just as we imagined.

Notes From the Road: Thoughts on Authenticity

Bridge over Table Rock Lake, MO

Bridge over Table Rock Lake, MO

KANSAS CITY, MO – It’s just a few hours before I wing back home after a fly/drive road trip that included time in four different states – Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, and Kansas. Illinois had been on the list, but has been rescheduled. Only sporadic access to a good WI-FI signal and full days of activity favored observation over participation in the flurry of exchanges in the Thought For Food comment forum.

It is almost laughable to see the current “resident skeptic,” “mmsdebunked,” himself a faceless, nameless, anonymous person — in some part of the world — express his doubts about the authenticity of my account of the young lady from Greece, some may remember Maria, who rid herself of HSV1 and HSV2 (herpes simplex virus) over a three-month period, using MMS. This relief, confirmed by lab tests, came after 10 and 2 years of standard and ineffective medical treatment, respectively.

The sheer effort that mmsdebunked has given in an effort to cast doubt and maintain a position of being at odds, over the simple sharing of information, reveals… well I don’t know what it reveals.

I don’t know this man, since he prefers not to subject himself to public scrutiny for “fear” of some form of reprisal – as if anyone cares that he is simply acting as a misinformation shill. Yet, he writes with a mock familiarity, as though he knows MMS, and me.

There is an irony in seeing someone talk as though they know, but coming from a place of NOT knowing. They want so hard to be believed, and make such an effort to appear as though they are knowledgeable, spouting every negative and incorrect or non-relevant interpretation that they can find while talking to people who do KNOW what they’re talking about from first-hand experience.

MMS has so not been “debunked,” that the opposite is actually true. It is being recognized as a superior and grossly under-used disinfectant. Its merits have become so obvious to those who SEE and KNOW that even continuing to portray one’s self as a “debunker” only reveals a disingenuous agenda, and not a desire to help the public.

During my travels, I came to meet and a husband and wife team of health practitioners, Tom and Joy Watson. Tom is a clinical kineseologist, and Joy is a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND), with practices in Healing Tree Health Club, in Blue Eye, Missouri and Osage Health Center, Berryville, Arkansas. They use natural, energetic, non-invasive and non-toxic methods to help their patients restore their health.

Tom and Joy Watson

Health Practitioners Tom and Joy Watson

Both have overcome major illnesses to restore their own health; Tom a debilitating back injury that suddenly took his life and livelihood away and had him in a cast for an extended time, and Joy, fully healed herself of breast cancer, without surgery, without toxic drugs. Not a “survivor,” she thrives once again.

During her healing journey, Joy used MMS. She didn’t stay on it – this was in the days of taking up to 15 drops one or more time daily (since modified to smaller, hourly doses over an 8 hour period each day). Her choice to seek methods other than MMS had to do in large part to the detox itself… which can be an unpleasant experience. While one is going through an MMS-induced toxin release, it may not be evident that it is (1) temporary, and (2) helpful. In addition, early MMS users were most often lone wolves, with very little in the way of familial or medical support.

Dr. Watson acknowledged to me that MMS is a superior antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal product, that warrants more study on how to give patients the best results and the best experience. Given its wide availability – derived from an unprocessed salt (sodium chlorite) and low cost, it could dramatically impact both the results as well as the economics involved in health care today, rendering a multitude of marginally effective, metabolically damaging pharmaceutical medications useless.

I am not saying that MMS is the only thing that works, because it is not. I’m saying that it provides a vital and viable therapeutic function on polluted human physiologies, as evidenced by the results that so many people are reporting.

You can bet that IF pharmaceuticals did offer superior results than MMS, (1) they would be quick to prove it, and (2) we’d not be spending this time talking about using MMS, or (3) see federal agencies trying to dissuade the public from using it.

I did not go there to talk to them about MMS. Our conversation about it was over breakfast that Joy prepared on their beautiful 65 acre property on a mountain top just outside of Berryville, Arkansas. Their Osage Natural Health Center is also on the property. They showed me some of the other tools that they use, which I have captured on camera and will be in upcoming articles.

At home with Jeffrey Smith

At home with Jeffrey Smith

Yet, it is amazing to go places and meet people who have not only heard of, but are using, or know someone who is using MMS, such as Jeffrey Smith’s wife, Andrea. Jeffrey is the author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette. I interviewed him at their home in Fairfield, Iowa. Great, down to earth, genuine, and caring people.

For 15 years Jeffrey has traveled the world calling attention to the true dangers of genetically modified (GMO) foods, dangers that the Food and Drug Administration claims to have “seen no evidence of.” The more truthful statement would be to have admitted no evidence of harm, because evidence exists that they were informed about but chose to ignore such warnings and silence the whistle blowers.

Jeffrey founded the Institute for Responsible Technology to help raise public awareness of how pervasive GMO products are, and how to inform yourself, since neither the information released, nor policies issued by said federal agencies can be relied upon to work in the public’s behalf. If there is an “erring” by the agency, it is on the side of the industries that feed them.

Yet, who feeds the industries? Is it not you and me?

No one has any obligation to “stand up” for MMS unless they want to, or “prove” that it works to skeptics. There is such a thing as natural skepticism, but it’s not a place where anyone with an open mind takes up residence. People who need someone else to “prove” a concept to them are simply wasting their own time, and the energy of anyone who tries to convince them.

If your own energy, research, and intelligence isn’t part of how you go about deciding what modalities work for you, then you’re not really trying to learn anything, because such methods won’t yield any useful understanding.

Understanding isn’t the most important thing to people who are dealing with chronic diseases either; results are. I would go to Tom and Joy Watson any day because they have taken journeys that most medical doctors – if left to their training – never successfully work their way from. They are happy and healthy, and are helping their patients restore their health too… the happiness, as well as the healing is always, up to you.

I’ll be sharing more, but now it’s time to take another flight home.

A Little Good News Amid Much Fear

With all the fear and panic going around related to the possible effects of nuclear radiation, let me break up the angst with a little mundane good news.

A young lady from Greece visited this blog in December 2010, looking for some guidance as to how to use MMS to help eradicate an HSV1 and HSV2 (Herpes Simplex Virus) condition that has persisted for 10 and 2 years respectively. Preferring to keep her situation “private,” we exchanged occasional emails; she or me asking questions, and she or me answering them.

Then silence.

The other day I received an email from her… she had just received lab test results that confirmed she was VIRUS FREE! She becomes one more who KNOWS that MMS disinfection WORKS.

The fear and panic that so many people are demonstrating these days, comes from YEARS of using APPROVED, but medically ineffective treatments and methods.

It is time that we began favoring EXPERIENCED RESULTS over peer-reviewed, but meaningless OPINIONS.

It’s clear that we have much to learn about nature. Our problems escalate when we spend so much energy discrediting solutions that come from unconventional or even unconfirmed sources, while continuing to rely on ineffective, even harmful methods that come from “trusted” sources.

There is likely a way to safely remediate the nuclear toxicity threat that Japan and the rest of the world faces.

You almost have to wonder, if anyone other than a group of acknowledged “peers” brought it to the world’s attention, would anyone listen?

———-

I’m about to take to the road for memorable journey, this time over a week-long sojourn that includes trips to Branson, Missouri, Fairfield, Iowa, and South Beloit, Illinois.

I have to get ready for my flight, but I’ll have more to say as the journey commences.

————

It was a pleasure to be invited to be a guest on the John Barbour program. The time appeared to pass very quickly.

My side of the Barbour interview. [03/03/2011]

Video allows more information to be shared per moment experienced. Since it wasn’t possible to visit him in Las Vegas and do the interview in person, I did the next best thing… record it on camera from my side.

An MMS Potpourri

It is ironic how we have made distrust of personal experience the rule rather than the exception, in an attempt to give dominion to professional biases and impersonal conjecture over outcomes that really happened. This appears to be the modus operandi of critics of MMS. It’s not limited to MMS though… it applies to virtually any method that can be shown to mitigate many of the consequences of current social and medical thinking. Personal experience, a priceless guide, has been dubbed “anecdotal,” is routinely discounted or dismissed if it differs from the norm. The maverick approach is not to be believed unless a group of elite “peers” have studied the subject and given it their blessing. Furthermore, a publication… another elite one, must decide to publish the information.

Such thinking has brought us to where we are; at a crossroad.

All of these learned individuals are beholding to someone — personal or impersonal — who facilitates their ability to buy groceries, pay their rent, mortgages, auto loans, medical bills, put their children through school, and support their personal quirks. All are servants of the Money god, to which intelligence, honor, compassion, and humanity often takes a back seat to budget limitations, supply issues, and political expediency. Under these circumstances, objectivity is the first casualty. Truth may then be seen through a biased lens… that is, if it is ever seen at all.

This form of impersonal logic often shows itself in conversations with MMS detractors. The amazing results of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people are dismissed by apparently intelligent critics who have not exercised the courage to look into it on their own, forming a knowledge-based opinion, or respect the people who have. They hide behind initials and credentials that imply they (or their peers) know what they’re talking about, even when evidence of such knowledge is nowhere to be found.

Instead of being joyful at the specter of actually finding viable answers (including MMS or others) – that may be right under our noses to a wide spectrum of ailments that have robbed so many of their health, vitality, financial security, and their lives — we hear skepticism, consternation, personal judgment, misinformation, and disbelief. Furthermore we see disinterest in confirming the positive claims. The only interest the agencies and the critics have shown is in dissuading more use (even with misinformation), and going after sellers of the product.

Yet, the positive buzz continues.

I had a wonderful conversation yesterday, via Skype, with Andreas Ludwig Kalcker. He is a German researcher who, after using MMS to mitigate a medical condition of his own, began researching it himself, has personally introduced it to various parts of Africa, and envisions producing a documentary series in which MMS is looked at in the context to a greater look at our current practices of, and attitudes toward health care.

I’m pleased to be invited to be part of this undertaking.

Andreas also took umbrage to the Gabriela Segura slam of MMS, as I did. I got a copy of it the other day, and will share here. While fluid in English, it’s not his first language, so he’s pretty direct in his writing.

My name is Andreas Ludwig Kalcker and after reading this article i had no choice than to answer….i am researching 2 years from now on ClO2 related health issues on scientific bases, and definitively this Article is equal to: “The earth is Flat syndrome…….

What long term side effects? ClO2 disintegrates when oxidizing to oxygen and salt !!!! nothing else.

Quote:
Before we continue, an important lesson on oxidation and free radicals is needed, Oxygen is an essential element that supports life, but in the wrong place or at the wrong time, oxygen can wreak much havoc on our cells, causing cancer, contributing to cardiovascular disease, degenerative diseases, and aging through a process called oxidation.You have seen the effects of oxidation whenever you have observed an apple turn brown and go bad after being exposed to air, or when you see the flame of a candle. – GS

Wrong again !!!:
The free radicals theory is a postulate from Denham Harman in 1958 !!!

The oxidative capacity of oxygen is 1.3V and the mitocondria can handle this very good, but Ozone has an oxidative potential of 2.07V and is too strong and would do harm. Clo2 has only 0.97V and Can not harm our cells due to too low electron potential. Oxidative stress is proven to elongate lifespan! Free radicals = electric potential, the voltage counts! 12V is not the same as 220V

The free-radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically-relevant free radicals are highly reactive. For most biological structures, free radical damage is closely associated with oxidative damage.

Glucose Restriction Extends Caenorhabditis elogans Life Span by Inducing Mitochondrial Respiration and Increasing Oxidative Stress

· Summary

· Increasing cellular glucose uptake is a fundamental concept in treatment of type 2 diabetes, whereas nutritive calorie restriction increases life expectancy. We show here that increased glucose availability decreases Caenorhabditis elegans life span, while impaired glucose metabolism extends life expectancy by inducing mitochondrial respiration. The histone deacetylase Sir2.1 is found here to be dispensable for this phenotype, whereas disruption of aak-2, a homolog of AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK), abolishes extension of life span due to impaired glycolysis. Reduced glucose availability promotes formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), induces catalase activity, and increases oxidative stress resistance and survival rates, altogether providing direct evidence for a hitherto hypothetical concept named mitochondrial hormesis or “mitohormesis.” Accordingly, treatment of nematodes with different antioxidants and vitamins prevents extension of life span. In summary, these data indicate that glucose restriction promotes mitochondrial metabolism, causing increased ROS formation and cumulating in hormetic extension of life span, questioning current treatments of type 2 diabetes as well as the widespread use of antioxidant supplements.

Almost 70 clinical trials with more than 230,000 participants have shattered the supposed benefits of antioxidant supplements.

“Our findings contradict the claim that antioxidants improve health. Given that between 10% and 20% of the adult population in North America and Europe consume the products evaluated, the public health consequences may be substantial “, say the authors, from the Hospital of Copenhagen (Denmark).

Controlled clinical evaluations of chlorine dioxide, chlorite and chlorate in man.

Lubbers JR, Chauan S, Bianchine JR.

To assess the relative safety of chronically administered chlorine water disinfectants in man, a controlled study was undertaken. The clinical evaluation was conducted in the three phases common to investigational drug studies. Phase I, a rising dose tolerance investigation, examined the acute effects of progressively increasing single doses of chlorine disinfectants to normal healthy adult male volunteers. Phase II considered the impact on normal subjects of daily ingestion of the disinfectants at a concentration of 5 mg/l. for twelve consecutive weeks. Persons with a low level of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase may be expected to be especially susceptible to oxidative stress; therefore, in Phase III, chlorite at a concentration of 5 mg/l. was administered daily for twelve consecutive weeks to a small group of potentially at-risk glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient subjects. Physiological impact was assessed by evaluation of a battery of qualitative and quantitative tests. The three phases of this controlled double-blind clinical evaluation of chlorine dioxide and its potential metabolites in human male volunteer subjects were completed uneventfully. There were no obvious undesirable clinical sequellae noted by any of the participating subjects or by the observing medical team. In several cases, statistically significant trends in certain biochemical or physiological parameters were associated with treatment; however, none of these trends was judged to have physiological consequence. One cannot rule out the possibility that, over a longer treatment period, these trends might indeed achieve proportions of clinical importance. However, by the absence of detrimental physiological responses within the limits of the study, the relative safety of oral ingestion of chlorine dioxide and its metabolites, chlorite and chlorate, was demonstrated.

The popularity of MMS and its fervent, almost religious marketing involved the claim of curing malaria in tens if not hundreds of thousands of people. Sounds very noble indeed, but this is only natural as MMS’ sodium chlorite is well known to cause hemolysis in red blood cells - meaning that red blood cells are ruptured and destroyed. It is actually by killing red blood cells that the malarial parasite is killed since it invades red blood cells. – GS

Chlorine dioxide and hemodialysis.

Abstract

In the United States chlorination of potable water supplies has been the standard method of disinfection for about 75 years. In recent times concern has been raised about the propensity of chlorination to introduce potentially carcinogenic trihalomethanes (THM) such as chloroform into finished water.. The levels of THM introduced depend on many factors including the quality of the raw water. Numerous community water treatment facilities are experiencing difficulty in meeting current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards, and it is likely that the permissible levels may be lowered in the future. An alternative to chlorination which does not generate THM during disinfection is chlorine dioxide, but there are concerns about the acute and chronic toxicity of ClO2 and its disinfection by-products, chlorite and chlorate. Deleterious effects of moderately high levels of these oxychlorines have been demonstrated experimentally on red blood cells, thyroid function, and development in laboratory animals. Adverse effects in controlled prospective studies in humans and in actual use situations in community water supplies have as yet failed to reveal clear evidence of adverse health effects. Among groups who may be at special risk from this suggested alternative are patients who must undergo chronic extracorporeal hemodialysis. The special needs, precautions, and experience to date in regard to finished water are reviewed. Again, very limited human experience has failed to reveal adverse health effects. Further study, caution, and extreme vigilance are indicated, but dialysis patients in carefully controlled facilities may be at no greater risk than the general population.

‘Getting Real’ with John Barbour

Real People Cast on Cover of TV Guide

On the Cover of TV Guide

Once a critic for Los Angeles magazine, and KNBC-Los Angeles, John Barbour was creator, and one of the hosts of NBC’s Real People television series, which ran between 1979-1984. The show was so popular it sometimes garnered a 50% audience share, a monumental feat even in the pre-Internet era.

Not bad for a man who, in his early days in Los Angeles, won bit parts in movies with James Cagney, Doris Day, and Glen Ford, unfamiliar names for many in this generation… a generation whose “stars” are becoming ever more foreign to me.

Never one to pass on an opportunity to speak his mind, Barbour also won Emmy’s for his work as a television critic. He left KNBC just before I arrived in L.A. in 1979 from Chicago, so I was unaware that he had been a familiar presence in the city’s local media community when Real People emerged.

I have found many reasons to put off writing about this, but I’m going to be a guest on Barbour’s broadcasting return via his Real People Radio show.

The invitation came from the radio show’s producer, David Chu, who contacted me several years ago after he watched my documentary on MMS. It was David who suggested that I make the DVD available in bulk quantities for people who may want to make the information available to larger groups. We’ve stayed in contact, even when he moved for a time to Argentina. Now in Oregon, he’s still committed to positive change.

That commitment to positive change is a bond I see in many people these days. I hear it in the voices of many that are being raised in the call for freedom.

I had a great “get acquainted” conference call David and John a couple of weeks ago, and now we’ll do it on the air, before a listening audience.

Voices need to be raised for freedom in America. I point America out because we feed ourselves the notion that we’re the “Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave,” but are fearful, docile, angry, chronically sick and steadily degenerating, and the health and food production industries are leading us further down the same sorry river. We can change this; but only if we wake up to what we’re doing, and admit to ourselves, what’s not working.

Consciousness needs to be raised for health and healing. Minds need to be opened to methods and modalities that work, with the willingness to kick those that do not, to the curb.

The conversation will air this Wednesday, March 9, from 5pm – 6pm Pacific. I believe that listener call-ins are also part of the show.

WATSON Supercomputer: If We Feed it GMO Information, Expect More Medical Heartburn

While change is the only constant in the entire universe and what we often find ourselves wanting most, it could also be what we fear most. Yet, we are in a time of change. Geopolitical, geophysical, climatic, cosmic – if it can be categorized, it is changing.

The Real Jeopardy Begins: IBM’s WATSON Being Groomed to Become an M.D. Assistant

IBM Corporation scored a major publicity coup by handily winning a game of Jeopardy against the two most successful contestants in the history of the program. This “victory” is deemed convincing reason to see if the system, which can access the information of roughly 2 million books in three seconds, would be any better at diagnosing disease than what are now being referred to as “overloaded” medical doctors.

The Jeopardy Contestants and HAL2011 (WATSON)

The Jeopardy Contestants and HAL2011 (WATSON)

Acknowledging that today, over 20% of medical diagnoses are wrong, IBM researchers have partnered with Nuance Communications, publishers of Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) speech-recognition technology (see story), to make the supercomputer’s analytics capability available to the health care field. They are touting WATSON as a logical candidate for medical or diagnostic assistant, given its ability to process voluminous amounts of information in a short period of time. The Columbia University Medical School, and University of Maryland School of Medicine are also collaborating with the computer giant.

My problem with this is manifold. I’m not against IBM or WATSON itself, but the present thinking behind how it would be used would not achieve the stated desired results.

IBM’s motto, THINK, has served it well for over 50 years, but healing is a journey of the heart and human spirit, which would best be expressed in the very non-linear term of FEEL. This is beyond the scope of thinking, in an entirely different, but encompassing realm; one that medicine has been inclined to either ignore, dismiss, or attempt to medicate.

Until the people who program WATSON, and the medical schools that are advising them, get that memo themselves, the Watson effort will amount to no more than become the next latest version of the calculator, able to quickly sift through encyclopedic volumes of MIS-CONCEIVED information in order to give a CONFIDENT and legally defensible MIS-diagnosis. Let me tell you why I FEEL this is true.

  • In a WATSON-era medical paradigm, the human will still be considered a dissectible organism wherein disease symptomologies and pathologies are discrete and unrelated, and simultaneous, parallel medication practices are not only tolerated, but encouraged.
  • Homeostasis and ways to restore it would, at best, be an afterthought.
  • Medical THINKING would still be operating under the assumption that pharmaceutical or technological approaches – and even then, only the FDA approved ones – are the only viable, “curative” ones. It is unlikely that the appalling results of chemical treatment practices will be factored in, or weighed to allow arguments against their use and the adoption of more plausible and effective alternatives, when the institutions of medical education, treatment, and payment haven’t yet received or acknowledged that memo.
  • The belief that genetics rule the organism still prevails, when epigenetics prompts us to actually interact with the patient and recognize his or her active involvement in owning the problem, and with a conscious change of heart, effectuating a true cure.
  • The belief that disease “happens” to people, and that attacking it — whatever it happens to be — is the “battle” that must be won, still predominates most medical thinking. This conspires against unconventional and non-linear approaches being considered, since Watson will only analyze information in the context of the dualistic thinking that is allowed in.
  • Nature is given scant consideration with respect to its ability to influence or facilitate healing, nor is energy and the energetic state of our environment, as well as our patterns of thinking/believing. These are all factors that, by the results we’ve witnessed, cannot be, and haven’t been replaced by medication.
  • Pouring over historical records of hundreds of millions of pharmacological interactions after interactions to generate a credible medical recommendation in 10 seconds or less could certainly help the process of convincing the patient to try the procedure that the doctor is recommending. However, the odds of success will still have to be factored in, and the odds of failure remain high.

This is neither a negative, nor pessimistic assessment; it is predictive, based on what I see as current predominant medical, scientific, and social thinking.

If IBM wishes to help people to heal, i.e., to restore their health from a chronic or degenerative condition, they will have to include information about methodologies that have yielded the results that patients – not pharmaceutical companies, or their finance companies (a.k.a. health insurance organizations), or protection agencies – are seeking. If HAL2011… I mean WATSON were to be allowed to access all that data from the standpoint of the advisability of such measures as chemo and radiation therapies, or antibiotic treatments that don’t require concomitant probiotic replenishment, or the simple act of increasing hydration and salt replacement (crystalline for processed) that have been used successfully to mitigate a myriad of conditions, it could in fact, change everything. In the absence of that latitude, this effort will simply accelerate the demise of medical treatment as we currently know it.

In either case, this is good.

Let the Water Dance Begin

MJ Pangman (L.) and Melanie Evans, co-authors of Dancing With Water

MJ Pangman (L.) and Melanie Evans, co-authors of Dancing With Water

I had a great time visiting with MJ Pangman, co-author, along with Melanie Evans, of Dancing With Water: The New Science of Water (2011 Uplifting Press). Evans, who lives three hours north of Pangman, met us in Lava Hot Sprints, Idaho, where we had a chance to visit on camera. I interviewed the two of them together and separately, and interviewed MJ again the next day for an upcoming edition of Talk For Food. I also came back with books, which is now available online both here and at the Photonic Water site (www.photonicwater.com).

This is an unusual, and beautiful collaboration. Pangman, editor of The Water Puzzle and the Hexagonal Key, by the late Dr. Mu Shik Jhon and author of Hexagonal Water: The Ultimate Solution, holds an MS degree. Evans brings an intuitive sensitivity to the table, with an ability to see and FEEL in a way that IBM’s HAL2011, err, WATSON and its team of creators, can’t presently fathom. Melanie became a conduit for understandings that came through her developed, intuitive channel, which were eventually confirmed scientifically. In the same way that there is a fundamental difference between crystalline salt and table salt – enough to explain the sheer idiocy of current salt processing methods for human consumers – there is likewise a vast energetic and behavioral difference between processed water and water that is its crystalline form. It is the difference between health and disease, a simple fact that WATSON would most likely either not THINK to see, or be allowed to reveal. As much as we want to think of it as a possible overlord, humans and money will still control what WATSON is allowed to be fed, which will be as nourishing as cereal made from GMO corn. Information born of GMO-era THINKING will do us no better.

In my conversations with Pangman and Evans, we talked about current THINKING about water, which itself is part of our current problem. We tend to think of it as a wet, almost inert substance, devoid of any consciousness or life of its own, yet we cannot have life, or health unless it is healthy. These facts haven’t been deemed important enough for us to make it an imperative to understand what constitutes healthy water, IF it can be restored, and if so, then how.

Fortunately, such restoration is possible, and we can change our “water view.” We discussed why restoring water to its crystalline state (coherent) is necessary prior to consumption, and an entire range of methods by which to do it. These methods include technology that uses flow forms to induce a vortexing event, such as our PHOTONIC Water transformation devices, and other, less costly options, including the use of triskelions, a natural, hand-made energy device that has been used for thousands of years.

Needless to say, there’s much more to learn. Yet, it is this kind of information that, if included in the HAL2011/WATSON’s database will begin to change things. In my book, A Freed Man: An Emancipation Proclamation, I wrote that truths are real, but not absolute. In other words, what we hold as “true” today is always open-ended, and subject to supersession by new information, knowledge, and understanding. Feeding a computer with SELECTED “truths” of the past will not make useful knowledge available in the present, nor will it make an already very fallible system, infallible.

Enter the MMSwiki

How about HAL2011, I mean IBM’s WATSON computer analyzing the efficacy of oxygen infusion therapies, and even recommending options such as MMS? We won’t hold our breath for that just yet.

Given the refusal of the editors at Wikipedia to get out of the perception poisoning game with regard to MMS, please note the birth of the MMSwiki (www.mmswiki.com), an objective, information site dedicated to disseminating information on the Miracle (Master) Mineral Supplement known as “MMS.” This is not to be an advocacy site, but simply one that states the facts about the therapeutic use of chlorine dioxide via the MMS product, not only as we know it, but as we learn more.

On the Road to Explore Water, Healing

Healing Pool at the New Earth Center, Austin, TX

Healing Pool at the New Earth Center, Austin, TX

Just some quick thoughts before hitting the road to Park City, Utah to interview M.J. Pangman and Melanie Evans, authors or the new book, Dancing With Water: The New Science of Water (www.dancingwithwater.com). I have been aware that this book was coming down the line for the past year. In it, they explain, in clear, understandable terms, many of the dynamics and factors that both influence, and contribute to water’s behavior, particularly its states of health and ill-health.

We cannot be healthy while steadily consuming unhealthy water. Most people are using chaotic, energetically discordant water, unaware of what, or even if there is anything they can do about it. The answer is, it is a factor, and we can do something about it. M.J.’s book covers the subject in a very accessible way.

This is one reason why I got involved with water transformation technology after meeting Clayton Nolte. After helping sales of his product get started, with the help of my radio and video interviews on the subject with Clayton, I started PHOTONIC WATER SYSTEMS (www.photonicwater.com), with my friend George Clark, a Certified Nutritionist and wise man in his own right. Now we’re taking steps to distinguish our product, and product line. You’ll see how very soon.

We will be talking more about water in this blog space, and certainly with M.J.

413BGBFWP6L._SL500_AA300_[3] M.j. edited another book on water, The Water Puzzle and the Hexagonal Key, written by Dr. Mu Shik Jhon. She also authored a book titled, Hexagonal Water: The Ultimate Solution.

I first met M.J. several years ago, via a mutual interest in MMS. At one time she was interested in producing a print publication, with news and articles related to MMS. However, another project came up, which turned out to be Dancing with Water.

What we don’t collectively know about water is a major part of our current health malaise. Water transformation technology can help, but self-understanding and awareness is even more important. I intend to bring more information out that will assist in that journey.

Wikipedia Struggles Continue

The battle for control of your perception continues behind the scenes at Wikipedia’s “Miracle Mineral Supplement” entry.

Please visit the entry, and read it. Then click the Discussion tab, and particularly the History tab. You will see that its version has changed almost 100 times in the past 6 days!

The word “Fraudulent” has been fought over, with not one, but several editors doing their best to keep it there by undoing each attempt to remove it. When I checked a short time ago, the word Fraudulent was not in the entry, but the impression of MMS being a harmful, toxic chemical, remains.

If you are concerned about creating and then preserving the correct perception of MMS, I encourage you to create a presence for yourself on Wikipedia, and help 98.247.58.102 and others who are speaking up on its behalf.

If We’re Not Healthy, We’re Not Free

It has been wonderful watching the liberation events that have unfolded in Tunisia and Egypt. Oppression takes many forms, but always with the cooperation, willing or unwilling, of the “oppressed”. It takes real courage to stand up to the status quo and say “No more!,” unafraid of dying, yet without seeking or needing to kill or vilify.

Contrary to the unspoken impression that we hear and see over most mass media outlets, chronic and degenerative diseases are not inevitable. They don’t even appear to be genetic; meaning that there appears to be no real reason not to be able to restore health that a change in attitudes, beliefs, and restoring balance, can’t fix. If it doesn’t fix it, it would certainly help.

Of course, if you “ask your doctor,” you’re likely to get a different view.

It is refreshing to know that anyone and everyone can heal, be healthier, and freer. The concept of Free Will means that we are also free to be sick, infirm, and debilitated. We are free to deny responsibility, think we are powerless, and argue for our limitations. The Will to be truly free rests within each of us, and can only be turned on from that sacred, inner place. My solace is in knowing that when the Healer (one’s self) is truly ready, the healing can and will happen.

Reflections on Health, Healing, and Freedom

Capital Building, Austin, TX

Capital Building, Austin, TX

Austin, capital of Texas, is a city of charm, diverse culture, warm hospitality, pleasant surprises. That is, it was for me after a visit that spanned a short but intensive five days. Traveling between cold weather fronts, and not the least inconvenienced thereby, I had a chance to meet and interview a small sampling of the amazing people who are dedicated to natural health, healing, and well-being, who call Austin home.

The group included: dr_zhang

  • Dr. Dongxun Zhang, DAOM, PhD, founder of Austin-based China Health Center, and an intriguing new modality called Intended Evolution Fitness (www.ifit150.com). We discussed his exercise regimen whose purpose is to facilitate and effectuate the extension of normal human life-span to beyond 150 years.

  • Teresa Mullan Frease, from Fairfield, IA, one of Dr. Zhang’s original IEF students and coordinator of the practice’s public unveiling.

perrya

adam_arttemis

  • Arttemis Keszainn, who with his partner Krystalle, are co-founders of the New Earth Center, which he refers to as a conscious community. In addition to discussing the vision of New Earth Center, we had great conversations on what has become, to me, two of the most important elements to restore or sustain our health – i.e., coherent water, and crystalline salt.

These conversations will become upcoming editions of Talk For Food, as the understanding that the power to heal is within becomes First Nature to us. Knowing that the power is within invites and stimulates introspection, self-investigation, and self-reliance. It encourages us to build a relationship of trust and faith, not only in our design, but in the transformational traits that come as standard equipment to all, when we have grown accustomed, and even encouraged to believe otherwise.

On the 7-acre property that is the New Earth Center is a unique healing pool where highly energetic and coherent waters are generated, not through electrolysis or simple filtration, but through natural vortex action, supplemented with crystal and magnetic energies.

Vortex Healing Pool

Given the cold weather that preceded my arrival, I was able to see the pool first-hand, but didn’t get in. In fact, on that morning a thin sheet of ice lined the surface, which had thawed by the time Arttemis and I had finished our first conversation.

I plan on returning.

9781594773600[1] I am currently reading The Spiritual Life of Water: Its Power and Purpose, by Alick Bartholomew. The author offers further insights into Austrian naturalist Viktor Schauberger’s (1885-1958) work, but incorporates findings of contemporary water researchers, such as Mae-Wan Ho, Theordor Schwenk, Patrick Flanagan, Jacques Benveniste, Cleve Backster, and Masaru Emoto.

Of particular interest, he discusses the energy of water, and how it influences molecular behavior, even though said energy may itself not be detectable by particle-oriented technology that we currently base many scientific assumptions by.

The insights that I am gaining from reading this, and many other recently published books on water, as well as energy, go a long way to explain why Jim Humble’s MMS – now dubbed the Master Mineral Supplement – has shown such effectiveness. I believe it is particularly helpful when used (referring to the original, “MMS1”) in conjunction with a coherent water source. Indeed, if used with coherent water, I would even suggest that one consider dialing dosages down a few notches, or ramping up even slower, if ingested with water alone, versus juice.

…the most extraordinary fact that Schauberger discovered is that water has the power of self-purification and can restore its generative properties in the same way that other living things can heal themselves. – A. Bartholomew

This sentence alone gives you a clue to the value of a new outlook on water, and the potential value of water transformation technology to supplement or supplant current water treatment methods.

I had a chance to explore Austin a teeny bit, but there is way too much to potentially digest in a few day’s time.

Demonstrators for a free Egypt

Demonstrators for a free Egypt

A group of demonstrators gathered before the capitol building one morning calling for President Hosni Mubarak to resign, a position I support.

Healing can take many forms, particularly when the ones seeking health overcome their own fears. The people of Egypt are seeking health, for they are seeking freedom. A large segment of the American population has grown “comfortable” with their diseases, or have become complacent in the belief that real cures aren’t yet available. We continue to allow ourselves to be fed synthetic chemicals, not knowing that these products are actually turning off or compromising the body’s natural, dynamic, self-regulating (meaning healing) abilities. Perhaps distracted by the precious health we see fading as we move into the sunset of our lives, we often fail to notice intrusive inroads to freedom.

As these individuals are helping us to see, Life’s Gifts are available, not for the asking, but for the awareness, and the willingness to respect and embrace once again, natural ways.

Here’s to health, healing, and freedom.

When Government-Authored Health Guidelines are Unhealthy

 

Useless Information Guidelines

“Government guidelines” will give you the appearance of being a good idea, but in truth, following them can deliver you into an ever lowering sinkhole of infirmity and disease. New dietary guidelines published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, are the latest case-in-point.

 

A 112-page document, titled, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, is compiled by a committee of Ph.D’s and other experts on diet and nutrition. However, it manages to give the public little useful information that would help a reader to truly regain, or sustain one’s health.

In the Executive Summary, the authors explain that Dietary Guideline recommendations have been traditionally intended for healthy Americans, aged 2 years and older. “However, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 is being released at a time of rising concern about the health of the American population.”

“Rising concern” indeed.

In spite of this concern, their guidelines read like previous ones, focusing on such issues as caloric intake to manage body weight, reducing the risk of food-borne illness by cooking and chilling food, and staying away from unpasteurized milk and cheeses, just to name a few.

Among the foods to reduce are:

  • Sodium intake to less than 1,500 milligrams (mg). This is generally implied to mean salt.
  • Consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids by replacing them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
  • Consume less than 300 mg per day of dietary cholesterol.
  • Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible by limiting foods that contain synthetic sources of trans fats, such as partially hydrogenated oils, and by limiting other solid fats.
  • Reduce the intake of calories from solid fats and added sugars.
  • Limit the consumption of foods that contain refined grains, especially refined grain foods that contain solid fats, added sugars, and sodium.
  • If alcohol is consumed, it should be consumed in moderation—up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men—and only by adults of legal drinking age.

On the increase side are:

  • Increase vegetable and fruit intake.
  • Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green and red and orange vegetables and beans and peas.
  • Consume at least half of all grains as whole grains. Increase whole-grain intake by replacing refined grains with whole grains.
  • Increase intake of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese, or fortified soy beverages.6
  • Choose a variety of protein foods, which include seafood, lean meat and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, soy products, and unsalted nuts and seeds.
  • Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry.
  • Replace protein foods that are higher in solid fats with choices that are lower in solid fats and calories and/or are sources of oils.
  • Use oils to replace solid fats where possible.
  • Choose foods that provide more potassium, dietary fiber, calcium, and vitamin D, which are nutrients of concern in American diets. These foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and milk and milk products.

Now, that is government thinking at its best. The remaining 100 or so pages explains what they mean in greater depth.

The end result is that all of this “advice” only gets the reader more of the same, which will result, in another five years, in an update in the Guidelines, which will say that the situation is even more acute, because not enough people listened to the previous one.

I’ll mention a couple of areas needing change that fly in the face of what the government thinks is best.

Cut Back On Salt? Get Real!

First of all, they say to dial one’s salt (sodium) intake back. Doing so would only slow down the rate of increase in one’s metabolic imbalance, and eventually, disease, because the white substance that most people have at home, and are in virtually all restaurants and used to prepare foods, is not real salt. The proportions of sodium chloride that Americans consume are far more than is natural, needed, or beneficial. Reducing the intake of what amounts to, metabolically speaking, a poison still means consuming a poison.

In the book Water & Salt: The Essence of Life, is a section titled, “White Gold to White Poison,” where the authors, biophysicist Peter Ferriera and Dr. Barbara Hendel, explain how the trace minerals in natural salt were “chemically cleaned,” which resulted in the base elements of sodium and chloride (along with a few “necessary” elements), which make up 97% of crystallized salt. They conclude:

However, sodium chloride is an unnatural, isolated, unwholesome substance having nothing in common with salt.

The authors go on to say that while the human body only requires about 0.007 ounces of salt per day (about 200 mg), most people still suffer from a lack of enough salt, even though they are over-saturated with sodium chloride.

The new government guidelines don’t help. 1,500 milligrams of sodium chloride still amounts to 0.053 ounces, or 7.5 times more than is needed. Current intake levels, of 0.4 to 0.7 ounces, equates to 11,339 to 19,845 milligrams respectively, or 57 to 99 times more than the body requires. Imagine just some of the potential consequences of following this same habit day in and day out, year in, and year out. It’s actually quite easy to imagine, because the very health statistics that the Guidelines warn against are happening right now!

We’re looking at the enemy, but its so familiar and so accepted, that we’re hard-pressed to see how we can be the problem. It’s easier to fight the diseases, but the problem is not the diseases, but our habits that have to change. When our habits change, so will our health.

Food product producers aren’t going to change on their own, since they must comply with guidelines set by government officials, who won’t change until they count more deaths, or even face their own when illness knocks on the door, before they’re willing to admit that we’ve been on the wrong track.

Doctors and other health care personnel aren’t any better, since they are the first to whip out the prescription pad and suggest the latest whiz-bang drug when another poisoned citizen comes knocking. In the meantime the pathogens and pathologies have a field day on our energy and mineral depleted bodies.

Our schools aren’t helping either. The teachers are teaching students what they have been taught and graded for, which is just what the various industry lobbies want them and the public to know. So to the entire lot, the threat may really appear to be real.

What the government people don’t tell you is that the body requires that 3-percent of trace minerals (over 80 of them) that are processed out of real salt. Their new guideline doesn’t address this issue whatsoever.

There are others… such as the slam against unpasteurized milk. Pasteurizing and homogenizing milk is another contributor to the inevitable onset of disease, but you’d never guess it by reading this document. The body needs three things that raw, unpasteurized mild delivers; they are:

  1. aerobic bacteria (let’s let go of the “good bacteria” / “bad bacteria” terminology),
  2. digestive enzymes, and
  3. real vitamin D

You won’t find any of these life-giving components in the beverage that masquerades as milk in the grocery store. And yet, the committee of advisors all seem to believe that the “risks” of raw milk outweigh the reality of the real cost that people, including our children, are paying for the compromised metabolic functionality that they being exposed to each day, week, month, and year by consuming pasteurized dairy products.

They’re not even content with pasteurization being the dominant way of producing dairy products. They want you to believe that unpasteurized products are potentially harmful, so harmful in fact that some states even have enacted laws against its production.

A whole lot of back tracking is going to have to be done to undo the thinking that we have become mired in.

If you read the Guideline, you’d never imagine that artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, genetic modification, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical chicanery, are being done to the food supply, affecting even that which is considered “organic.” If food is being produced on a large-scale and delivered to mass consumer outlets, it is most likely not in an optimal state.

And with the FDA set to approve the unleashing of genetically modified alfalfa, we have more “fit” getting ready to hit the “shan.” There’s time to put a halt to that before it gets started, but it’s going to require more than a short read; it’s going to take some form of action, even if it simply means letting your opinion be heard before the fact, rather than complaining about it afterwards.

We’re a generation or two that have become disconnected from the soil, leaving others to do the work and deliver it to us, trusting that they know, and are doing what is best. However, the “food” that we routinely consume has been so adulterated, processed, dumbed, and dimmed down, that no amount of dietary adjusting, along the lines of the USDA Guideline, is going to result in increases in health, or decreases in disease.

The industrial salt product that is sold to consumers, and given in hospitals, should be banned. Let’s start there. It is not fit for human consumption; not for our children, not for us, not for the elderly, and certainly not for the chronically ill.

In its place should be full-spectrum, crystalline salt. Sea salt is better than the “bleached” stuff that we’re used to (that’s funny, given how many MMS critics referred to it as bleach).

The best salt product appears to be Himalayan, primarily because it contains all the minerals that the human body needs, and in proper proportion. Proportion is an important aspect of balance that appears lost to the calorie crunchers these days. However, being unadulterated, meaning not “corrected” through, or by industrialized technological process, appears to be the best.

One example of how true crystalline salt intake can affect all the negative and depressing numbers that the government watchdogs throw in front of the public in order to get support for their policies, is with blood pressure. According to the Guidelines, over 74 million Americans have high blood pressure (hypertension), which is a gateway condition for heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, and more. Another 75 million have what they refer to as pre-hypertension. This is virtually half the population of the United States.

In controlled clinical studies, two groups, one exhibiting high blood pressure, and the other, low blood pressure, were both given crystalline salt, dissolved in water to create a solution called, solé (so-lay). After a short time on this regimen, which involved taking only a teaspoon daily (diluted in a glass or drinking bottle of water), both groups experienced a normalization of their blood pressure into a healthy range.

The USDA/Dept. Health & Human Services Guidelines provide no suggestions, no methods, regimens or strategies that would bring about such results. There are many who will dutifully follow these guidelines. However, this is another reason why it’s time to know for yourself, what is right, best, and true for you.

Water and Salt in Optimal State Puts an End to Self-Desecration

Each day I gain a greater appreciation for the important roles that minerals and microorganisms play in the maintenance of health, as well as its restoration. Yet, if we choose to embark on the journey from the depths of chronic dis-ease and return to our home in Well-being, we’ll discover profound solace in natural elements. Central to that process are the natural properties and power of water and salt. Specifically, coherent water and crystalline, or full spectrum salt.

These factors go a long way to explain, in part, why chronic and degenerative diseases evolve (as we move away from healthy forms of these products), as well as why MMS – which is derived from a salt –is as effective as it is.

W_S-Cover-smallHaving just finished reading Water & Salt: The Essence of Life, by Peter Ferriera and Dr. Barabara Hendel, I am somewhat amazed that this information isn’t taught even in our first science courses. However, if it were, we’d have far less disease, and more robust health throughout the course of life, than we presently can lay claim to.

Instead, our industrialized, technological methods routinely, and as a matter of course, desecrate two of the most basic components that make life as we know it, possible, at a price we all pay to one degree or another.

The authors begin by making a clear distinction between biochemistry and biophysics, which they refer to as the realm of living energy. They conclude that all disease, as we know it, can be looked upon as expressions of an energy deficit. The term imbalance would also apply, since disproportion in any aspect – whether it is molecular, microbial, or even in consciousness – away from what is optimal will result in energetic degradation and a loss in coherency.

Seeing life and experience in holistic terms, which includes an energetic perspective, allows new insights and interpretations to emerge. New behaviors and then experiences will naturally follow.

Desecration is a most appropriate way to describe water and salt treatment, an often overlooked factor that contributes to the disease parametrics that we are currently experiencing. If that were the extent of the sacrilege, it would be a simple matter to fix. The problem runs through virtually every thread in the fabric and tapestry that is modern life.

It is neither my purpose, nor intention to get you down or piss you off in sharing this viewpoint, although such reactions would not be unreasonable. The realization of just how pervasive our collective ideological and technological perversity is, can mark the turning point where one makes the personal decision to not only claim, but exercise their innate and inalienable power to heal, and be well again.

WHEN we get “the memo” that the power to heal is innate and inalienable – when that simple idea begins to ring true, even though we may have no clue as to how, or even if everything we’ve done thus far has not worked – the new path that one must take becomes evident.

The closer our return to fundamentals – water, salt, food, environment, etc. – in their optimal state, the closer our return to health. Water and salt in their optimal states should be part of our daily intake, because they are necessary requirements to repairing the body and restoring, as well as sustaining health. They facilitate and deliver balance because they are integral parts of our Original Design.

More to come.

MMS & Dead Sea Salt

On the video edition of Talk For Food I conclude my conversation with Wil Spencer on the flap that developed on the Gulf Coast, and then talk about some of the powers of salt with Pavel Gershkovich of Salt Chalet, located in Scottsdale, AZ.
