Big blow for big pharma's war against vitamins

In a newsletter from What Doctors Don't Tell You - (Lynn McTaggart's newsletter) this great snippet came through.. finally a court sees sense and creates a ruling that is of value to the natural health movement.

A US district court has overturned a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) bar on a manufacturer of selenium supplements from stating that the mineral helps reduce the risk of cancer. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle upheld complaints from the Alliance for Natural Health USA and others that the FDA ban went against the First Amendment that allows free speech. She said there was credible scientific evidence to demonstrate that selenium helps protect against cancer, and so the manufacturer should be allowed to include the fact in promoting the product.

Its also of note to see that the Alliance for Natural health was the instigaator of this complaint and that their work has been upheld.

It is also of interest to note that this Alliance has has their page deleted from Wikipedia! The 'watchdogs' are at it all over the place. It is amazing that they have the time and energy to hit the natural health industry at all levels - and for what investment? I once posted a very intersting article to Wikipedia about EAV (electro-acupuncture according to Voll) with absolutely no advertising in it at all which was almost immediately deleted from the site with the comment that it was advertising!

However don't let any of this action put us off continuing to put our hands up for health freedoms and freedom of speech and information generally. These rights are so important for us. Keep standing up for them in whatever way you find possible.

System Failure

Seth talks about this.. in the above post - how information is doubling rapidly - how overload is occurring. And all of this is added to by the bureaucratic nightmares that we live with daily. Sometimes I think.. roll on the predictions of a major shift in 2012 because do we ever need it. The systems are failing - they no longer support us but have become so top heavy and so embroiled in regulations and 'nanny' laws that we can no longer function with any clear intent.

And yes this is going to be a rant so if you are not ready for it.. you may as well stop reading here.

After our months of pandering to the powers that be - in the form of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (for you in the USA - our FDA) making sure that our website was stripped of any reference to any possibility that we could help anyone in their health challenges in any way. Ensuring in this way that we did not offend the straight laced narrow minded bigots that think that science and chemistry and genetics are the only things that have any relevance on this planet. Today we were attacked yet again.

We received another charming email.. stating that a complaint had been made against us.. from yet another department with more powers than they should ever have been given.
The complainant of course.. yet again .. did not have to reveal who they were. However we .. the attacked party were requested to answer to the attack.

But wait a minute.. this complaint was made about an advertisement that was published over 6 months ago.. and not only that.. also directed at a website that is

1. hosted overseas and
2. not a .au site, and
3. is simply addressed at selling to South East Asian countries and has a clear indication that the Avatar instrument which it is about.. is not for sale in Australia.

What a waste of everyone's time.

If by any chance that complainant is still digging and finds this post.. as he/she may well do as they seem to have no time to have any sort of life.. then may I simply request you to lay off.. stop hassling us, leave us to get on with our lives and our business which never killed a patient yet.. but in fact helps many.

And this beautiful planet which is run on energy, which only functions as a result of the energy of light, which is entangled in the mystery of itself far beyond this pettiness, beyond this superficial time wasting garbage.. will go forward past this superficial 'system failure' - the light will prevail.

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? How to Drive Your Career and Create a Remarkable Future

I am being inspired yet again by Seth Godin's writings - and highly recommend this book.. check it out..

This is a great book.. and not only do you get excellent information - Linchpin meetings are being organised throughout the world for a completely non-commercial chance to find and connect with other members of Seth's tribe, an opportunity to talk, challenge, and inspire your fellow travelers.

Gulf Coast Oil Spill – Sioux Prayer Request

Gulf Coast Oil Spill - Sioux Prayer Request

Gulf Coast Oil Spill - Sioux Prayer Request

****** A Great Urgency ****** To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders ******

My Relatives,
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc’I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Onipikte (that we shall live),

Kicking Depression

Statistics from research conducted by Organon (Australia) on behalf of the Mental Health Foundation of Australia in 2003.

• One in four women and one in six men will suffer from depression at some stage in their lives.
• Each year, almost 800,000 Australian adults will experience a depressive illness.
  
• Depression is the third most common cause of illness among women and the tenth most common cause among men.
  
• In 2001, Australian GPs reported depression as the fourth most common illness that they dealt with in their practices.
  
• Depression is the leading cause of disability in Australia.
  
• Depression alone counts for more days lost to the workplace than those lost to industrial action.
  
• The World Health Organisation (WHO) has predicted that by 2020, depression will be the second biggest health problem world-wide, behind heart disease.

What is happening to us? is it the stress of modern living? Is it the insidious effects of the high exposure to toxic load in our environment - our food - our pollution? and what can we do about this?
There are so many factors that can be considered in this debilitating state of imbalance and I could write a whole book about it - let alone a short blog post.

But for now - I would just like to remind us of the six human needs - because if you have been 'in the cave of your depression' using alcohol possibly or drugs, or food or simply sleeping a lot and not talking to your friends and family - there will be at least one of these areas - if not more -that are simply not being met for (or by) you.

These needs are:

Comfort and certainty, (and paradoxically) - uncertainty and variety, significance, connection/love, growth, and contribution.

When we look at our lives in relation to these, and when we understand in what area we are not being fulfilled, this awareness can assist us to fill those gaps and when the wholeness can return to our lives, our mood lifts and we can once again turn our face to the sunshine.

Sometimes it is as simple as giving to another - giving of yourself - the emotional labour of love - the spontaneous smile to the check out girl in the supermarket, the hand to the laden Mum, the pat for the dog you pass in the street, the choice to go out to walk, the recognition of yourself by looking at your image in the mirror and telling yourself you are loved even if it sounds like a lie.

Do it anyway.. make a change - make a shift - move yourself toward the meeting of your needs.

You have a responsibility not only to yourself but also the rest of the world to be the fully realised human you were meant to be.

Live the life.. love yourself - just that little bit more each day.

It will help.

First Do No Harm

I was a straight laced medically oriented tunnel vision Occupational Therapist. Ready to shoot down anyone who suggested anything out of my belief system patterns. Until my husband – almost ready to die, was healed by a Balinese shaman.

That catapulted me out of my comfortable reality and into a journey which has no end in sight.

It moved me to be aware that there is much more to this world than meets our eyes. To realise that healing has many different shades and colours and that scientific studies and rationale is not necessarily always right or even in fact useful.

My husband - then suffering from severe recurrent pancreatitis - was told clearly by the medical profession that his days were numbered and they had no further answers for him and his incurable condition.

The healer, after sleeping in the family temple in order to dream the method of healing for my husband, used only his hands - and massaged my husband's body with some hot yellow paste. After two weeks he proclaimed him healed and he was.

My husband (now my ex) is still alive today more than 30 years later.

"Scientific?" - no where near it! (using the criteria we consider to be fit and acceptable in our Western mentality). "Placebo?" - if it was who cares.. my husband was healed.

Western Medicine is struggling with the load of chronic disease - and in their struggle they are having the tendency to kick out against anything they don't really understand.. there are many good healers in the firing line for speaking out and walking their truth.
Hippocrates famous advice more than 2000 years ago was "First do no harm".

In our more than 34 years (combined) of practice - neither Sahaja Springer - kinesiologist and facilitator of magic - nor myself - kinesiologist and EAV electrodermal screening practitioner (Avatar) - have ever killed a patient.

Nor have we ever done anyone any harm. There are many that live healthier more balanced lives as a result of working with us. They will tell you that.

We are very happy for that, and despite the huge ugly retraction notice right on the front page of our website, we are still here to serve you and to assist you to live happier healthier lives.

Please look behind the smokescreens that are placed in our way every day.. look deeper to enquire what is really the truth - dig just a little and you will be amazed at what is being purposefully hidden from your view.

Scientific studies on all manner of things from 'healthy margarine that reduces your cholesterol" to pesticides and chemicals that are 'harmless' and only later are revealed to be changing our gene pool (and most certainly not for the better). Drug company funded scientific studies proving that the latest and greatest wonder pill won't kill you have been highlighted in our prestigious newspaper The Australian so simply trusting the 'science' may be dangerous to your health.

Some of the places to look that will give you honest clear information are the following:
The Health Ranger - great entertaining news.. sign up for his newsletter.. its well worth it.
Dr Mercola - who has an amazing array of information for health matters.

Open your eyes - open your minds, allow the information that is out there to reach you through the jungle of advertisements, mis-information and lies. Your health demands it.

Roger, Roy, .... I cannot name you all.. just know you are in my heart...
