Walking Through the Flames

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Ken
Personal problems isn’t a “disease” any more than cancer is a “disease”; you can’t “catch it”, and you don’t become contagious. However, Just because it’s not contagious does not mean it is not a disease. Personal problems can lead to diseases like cancer. 
They are habits that can be broken when one has the desire to break them.
Even with the very addictive nature of alcohol and tobacco, the addiction can be broken when one is intent on doing so. That’s my personal belief, anyway.
I have never been to an AA meeting, but I do know one thing…… If you cater to a drunk, he’ll remain a drunk. That’s not a “disease” by any of the old standards. Cancer isn’t anything you can “catch” or should be cater to either it just happens. Even the normal process of cells splitting and dying to make room for a new cell, can go awry. If the dying cell isn’t removed by the immune system, it can begin to grow on it’s own, without control; Nothing but a malfunctioning or weakened immune system, would be the reason.. We can’t blame everything on a “disease”, and if/when they stop accessing blame to non-instrumental causes, perhaps they’ll find the cure for cancer.

For many cancer resulted from unhealthy lifestyle choices: toxic people in their life,
poor diet, prior excessive alcohol and tobacco use. Therefore, cancer is the result of environment and diet, though why we got it and not others under similar circumstances can never be explained……
If it were a simple illness we wouldn’t be still hoping for a cure. Its complexity, the innumerable pathways that it has to develop and spread, the various cells
it can mutate from….etc.

If survival of the fittest has any validity at the species level, surely it might too at the micro/nano level, with cancer cells competing against healthy cells as well as other cancer cells to survive and multiply-sort of like cock roaches…..they get used to one insecticide (chemo) after which you need an even stronger one (2nd,3rd line chemo)……

If cancer is not a disease, what is? 
It’s genetically passed on as cancer CAN be. Not always, but it can be. Also, supposed someone worked with asbestos for years and developed cancer then did it just happen. Some things cause cancer, you can’t [well, maybe you can:-)] dispute that. I do agree with you that sometimes it just happens too.

Some people are born with a pre-disposition for certain things. Homosexuality, cancer or alcoholism to name a few. To say that they are not diseases really distances oneself from the situation I think.
Of course there are always exceptions.
As far as cancer? The reason some get cancer from all those carcinogenic things, while others do not, should be self-explanatory in a totally mundane way.

Sure, genetics can be a problem, why not?
But being vulnerable to cancer is due to the immune system not doing it’s job, and a genetic quirk could possibly (and probably) cause the cancer. While some immune systems falter and others do well. But there isn’t an oncologist or cancer specialist in the world, that would deny that the immune system is important in the fight against cancer. They won’t give chemotherapy to one with a compromised immune system, or one that’s already fighting a disease; the reason is evident.

The chemicals used in chemotherapy are all well known carcinogenic. Radiation is a carcinogenic. Some of us will get second, unrelated cancers from those “remedies”, while others will not. Some smoke all their lives and never get cancer, and others blame their cancer on second-hand or even third-hand smoke. Is it the “causes”, or is it just the immune system not doing the job it was intended to do?
Again, the answer should be evident.

And since every “type” of cancer survives by the same very basic  process of life (fermentation), the banter about all “different kinds of cancer”, and all the necessary forms of drugs that are needed to kill cancer, is a real big drift from reality.
As the industry continues to baffle and obfuscate; they will do their best to tell you that it’s a complex matter that takes billions of dollars and years of research, yet never seems to resolve the real problem in any way, shape, or manner.

How can they? They’re not addressing the real problem.

You can call it what you want, but I don’t consider cancer a disease; I consider it an immune system problem….. And I’m among quite a few that feel strongly in that view; and some are well embedded in the field of cancer research.

I hope we all can find our remedy….. soon.
Just my point of view. One way to be healed, is that you need your cleansing regime to get your immune system working.

“Some people are born with a pre-disposition for certain things. Homosexuality, cancer, alcoholism to name a few.” This is the part (I think) that I meant to get across. I don’t think people choose to be gay. It certainly is NOT a disease.

Like I’ve said, cancer has many causes. Some you can control and some you can’t.
Some people swear the reason they live to be 104 years old is that they drank, smoked and ate fried foods. We’re all different so it’s hard to compare one person to another. These are the types of things that make cancer such a tough nut to crack. If there was only one cause of it I think it would be easier but it’s not like that. 

Even the word “Dis`ease” has many definitions. I think we both can find one that defines cancer to make our own point. We can call it whatever we want. My Dad used to say “Just because you call a horse a cow, it doesn’t make it one” which I will add “if you step in poop does it matter who pooped?”

Another expletives, sunglasses are good if you are out in the bright sunshine a lot. But for those that seldom do, they are very susceptible to cancer. Wearing sunglasses prohibits the eyes from telling the brain that it’s daylight, subsequently, the body doesn’t prepare itself to absorb the vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is detrimental in the fight against cancer. Even though you’re taking 5000 units of it, you still maybe lacking in vitamin D3. So you need some sunshine.

Tumor forms itself in an attempt to hold all the bad cells that the immune system can’t destroy. If the immune system is weakened eventually the tumor cells travel through the lymph nodes to other organs. By feeding the right foods to the immune system, getting sun light, staying positive we can put up a good fight. We are all different and have different nutritional needs, we should all seek to naturally help our bodies.

“Another answer to cancer is an acidic environment causes cancer.”
Ok, “Life accordingly needs balance”:

For awhile, I was caught up in that PH thing too. The fact is, that the body maintains a near constant PH for your blood, and too much deviation from that can result in an untimely death. Your system will keep a near perfect balance, in spite of what you eat, or how much or little you eat. The idea of just eating a well balanced diet instead of
trying to control things with diet, is a pretty damned good idea, when you study the facts.

Your digestive system is more acidic than you can possibly imagine, and trying to make it more alkaline will end up causing you major digestive problems. Your system needs that acid to digest food, without it, you’re going to be tossing away an awful lot of good things that you are eating, every time you defecate. Cancer uses glucose at a faster rate than a normal healthy cell.

The cancer cell steals the glucose away from our system, so trying to starve a cancer cell by withholding glucose, will starve the good cell first, while that cancer cell will roll happily along. The cancer cell uses glucose in the fermentation process that it is using for it’s basic survival. The waste from a cancer cell, is lactic acid. Lactic acid is also converted to glucose by your liver… So does it make sense to believe that a cancer cell likes an acidic environment? I don’t think so…. If anything, it would love an alkaline environment. The cancer cell’s methods of survival causes the system to become a bit more acidic, and the liver does it’s best to correct that situation.

I really don’t understand why there’s so much misconception and misunderstanding, regarding cancer cells; it’s as if the confusion is being promoted by some multi-billion dollar industry… The cancer cell, once a good cell, is trying to stay alive. It’s lost it’s means to communicate with it’s host (like our normal cells do), and begins surviving on the most basic of life methods. There’s nothing complex about how a cancer cell starts, or stays alive.

Chemicals designed to kill the cancer cell will kill it just fine, but there isn’t a good and accurate method to deliver that dose. The best means to single out a cancer cell, is with the immune system. And ironically, the average immune system does just that, naturally. Some of us have a quirk; a malfunction with our immune system, and our system didn’t do the job it should have.

Researchers are now apparently figuring out that the immune system can “learn” what a cancer cell is, and it seemingly does in many cases after a bulk of cancer cells die. When living things die, they release compounds and chemicals that are usually kept contained; a cancer cell is no different. The immune system can be sensitized to the chemicals that are released, and begin to search for more of that chemical in an effort to remove it from the system.

If the research is correct, it would be an explanation why so many patients are having better results from a rapid and short chemo treatments that leaves the immune system healthy, instead of long, drawn out chemo treatments that damages the immune system and leaves it incapable of fighting for your life. So you tell me, does cancer really love an acidic environment?

Or is acid just a by-product of it’s survival, burdening our liver in it’s clean-up duties?

Myths are facts, but they don’t help solve the problem.

Or:
“When it doesn’t sound like it makes sense, it’s a good indication
that it doesn’t make sense.”

That’s my two centavos worth.

Stay healthy!!

To stay healthy Vitamin D is real important, and from all I’ve ever read, the best way to get it, is to sit in the sun for 15 minutes and let your body uses sunlight to make it’s own Vitamin D. The process the body uses to manufacturer Vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, is unique and complex. Just taking vitamin supplements doesn’t do what happens when the body is making it, and isn’t as beneficial.

We can’t fool Momma Nature, well… not for long, anyway.
Most all vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc., are best received from their natural sources. This bologna about taking supplements, and having it added to everything we eat, is pure BS. It’s no wonder our systems malfunction. How can we have an immune system, a perfectly natural defense system, working the way it should if we only provide it phony manufactured substances to survive on.

I’ll leave you with this thought?
( I have to, my cheeseburgers are getting cold – haha.)

You best be Thinking Healthier than that~!
I would like to add this. I totally do believe that a compromised immune system is definitely a major and maybe the only risk factor for disease, whether it be cancer or another serious disease. I do believe it is a disease of the immune system so therefore disease is where
I would categorize cancer. I believe there are many many different things that will compromise our immune systems. Not only, negative emotions, personal problems, stress that causes, but also, chemicals, compounds, many environmental factors.
 There is no known alternative remedy for this malady. only the knowledge and validation why you are always the first to catch a cold, or why you feel like crap so often.  
There are many things that can cause a weakened immune system and stress is only one, so therefore my belief is that high stress individuals or those that don’t understand the importance of what stress does to the body.
Will end up taxing and already weakened immune system and run for the chemo drugs is indeed very frightening. Not to mention these same drugs are carcinoginic (sp) as well.
As the medical profession always made a big deal that my father was selenium deficient
but didn’t treat it or tell him lets get that treated.

The Game Changer

Posted on October 26, 2019 by Ken
The Game Changers – Documentary
Mens sana in corpore sano is a Latin phrase, usually translated as “a healthy mind in
a healthy body”. The phrase is widely used in sporting and educational contexts to express
the theory that physical exercise is an important or essential part of mental and psychological well-being.

While in the hospital doctors told me I was an 87 year old man in a 57 year old body – because of the way – I had cared for my physical-mental-spiritual body and labs et cetera were all close to normal. This they say helps my recovery. Do you think this is available for all of us and what we need to do to accomplish this. I am interested in your ideas. Of course! The mind controls all. And yes, you absolutely have to fuel that body a certain way. Put good in, get good out! Healthy mind, healthy body (and vice versa).  Avoid unhealthy toxic foods & unhealthy toxic people… and be happy and  positive and the healthier you will be.
I think mindset is huge. If you believe you can take care of yourself and heal yourself you
will be well on your way. Eating healthy organic foods, making time for self-care, movement, enjoyable relationships, helping others, and not holding grudges all go a long way to keeping one healthy.  I’m making serious changes as I head into this new chapter of my life.  
Did you ever read “Younger next Year”?  
You are what you eat, Eat organic, vegan with lots of raw fruit and vegetables, meditate daily, help others when I can, stay positive as much as possible, being grateful, use affirmations when needed, avoid negative people as much as possible, stay in touch with family, use FLFE energy continuous in my house, be dependable. exercise and socialization also helps!!  Thoughts are thing, so have Faith, love Family, enjoy friends and have lots of Fun, the 4 powerful F’s. Even when you think the cards are stacked against you remember those 4 powerful F’s. We do the best we can even when you think it doesn’t meet your standards for ourselves. Never berate ourselves-just keep loving ourselves for who we are. Pat stated: My Mother lived to be 97,
an Aunt 104, others in late 90’s. My Dad 89, he would have lived much longer
if he hadn’t used tobacco and sipped on 100 proof Ole’ Smokie White lightin’.
It was his sister that lived to be 104.  I grew up on a tobacco farm in the Smoky Mountains of NC. and my Daddy always thought he should smoke his own product. I don’t know what his excuse was for the white lighting. It has to be fun to make, fun to drink & fun to hide from the Revenuers! Just kidding you have to have a little levity in your life as well
(so laugh often and even at yourself ! )

Food and mental care is important. It also is important to have a healthy environment. It helps to live in a pristine area and grow your own food. Growing your own food is key I believe. We also grew our own fruit and vegetables when I was growing up and killed a pig and cow. . . before each winter. Because there was no refrigeration my mother canned the meat and vegetables and the potatoes and root vegetables were in the root cellar for the winter. I believe mindset is a lot of it. Sure taking care of your body certainly helps. I’m proof vitamins work. The way you think is part of recovery also.  Good health has something to do with telomeres being lengthening due to good nutrition, healthy lifestyle, good thoughts! 
Actually… I was just reflecting on this, I need to make a point of mentioning that the reason I’m not on pharmaceuticals is because of my self care practices. Yoga, massages, hot tub, meditation. Eating well with only fish for meat. Juicing and teas during flu season. I want it noted in my chart  I KNOW it makes a difference. Let me embrace it… Sending you LOVE!!!

You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,
and deems length of days the least of Nature’s gifts
that can endure any kind of toil,
that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks
the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than
the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.
What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;
For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue.

Sometimes the best medicine is a huge dose of amazement !!!
Progress is an endless challenge and for those hit their stride and for those up for the challenge you can change the game?

As researchers learn how to naturally slow aging to keep us looking and feeling young, they’re looking at telomeres, the parts of chromosomes that control aging, for the answers. And with possible links to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some types of cancer, the stakes are high.

What Are Telomeres?
Telomeres are segments of DNA at the end of our chromosomes. Scientists frequently compare them to the plastic tips of shoelaces that keep the laces together. (1) Telomeres function similarly, preventing chromosomes from fraying or tangling with one another. When that happens, it can cause genetic information to get mixed up or destroyed, leading to cell malfunction, increasing the risk of disease or even shortening lifespans.
Each time a cell divides, its telomeres become shorter. After years of splicing and dicing, telomeres become too short for more divisions. At this point, cells are unable to divide further and become inactive, die or continue dividing anyway — an abnormal process that’s potentially dangerous.
Essentially, this is how our bodies age. As more of our cells lose their telomeres and go out of commission, without others to take their place, the body follows and begins breaking down. And telomeres don’t leave (or shorten) quietly. Their shortening process has been linked with aging, cancer and a higher risk of death. (2)
Each telomere’s ticking biological clock (unfortunately, ladies, there is another one) has the potential to alter our lives in drastic ways but, interestingly, it’s not our age that determines when the clock will stop — it’s the length of our telomeres.

What Do Telomeres Have to Do with Health and Aging? 
One of the largest studies to date on telomeres shed some light on telomeres’ effect on a person’s health. Researchers collected saliva samples and medical records of more than 100,000 participants. Their findings showed that shorter-than-average telomere length was associated with a boost in mortality risk — even after adjusting for lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol consumption and education that are linked to telomere length. (3)
The study found that individuals with the shortest telomeres, or about 10 percent of the study’s participants, were 23 percent more likely to die within three years than those with longer telomeres. The findings are trickier than expected, however. Researchers are still unsure whether telomere length is just a marker of aging, like gray hair or wrinkles, or if it’s an active factor in whether a person is more likely to have a disease like Alzheimer’s or die.
There’s also another key player in the game: telomerase.
Telomerase is an enzyme that lengthens telomeres and keeps them from wearing out too fast or too early. But with constant cell division, telomerase levels are depleted, enabling telomeres to shorten. It stands to reason that if science found a way to increase telomerase production, telomeres would remain long, lengthening life spans and possibly reducing the risk of some diseases.
In fact, one 2010 study on aging published in Nature performed on rodents seems to confirm that theory. Mice engineered to lack telomerase aged prematurely and became decrepit. But when the enzyme was replaced, they bounced back to health. By reawakening telomerase in human cells where it’s stopped working, normal human aging could be slowed. “This has implications for thinking about telomerase as a serious anti-aging intervention,” said Ronald DePinho, a cancer geneticist who led the study.
However, there are still serious doubts about whether reversing or slowing down aging via telomerase activity is the answer. Because while telomerase does lengthen telomeres, in humans with cancer, the enzyme helps existing tumors grow faster. At this stage, it doesn’t seem we know enough about safely harnessing telomerase to ensure that it works only to lengthen telomeres and doesn’t actually stimulate cancer.

How Can I Lengthen My Telomeres and Slow Aging?
While science still isn’t 100 percent sure how telomere length affects how we age, it’s clear that the longer our telomeres are, the better. The good news is that there are a variety of lifestyle changes you can make today to lengthen your telomeres. (4)

1. Control and Reduce Stress
Several studies have linked chronic stress to shorter telomeres. (5) A 2004 study compared healthy women who were mothers of healthy children (the control moms) and those who cared for chronically ill children (caregiving mothers). On average, the caregiving mothers had telomeres that were 10 years shorter than the control moms. (6) That is, their cells behaved as if one decade older.
Another study that examined African-American boys found that those who came from stressful environments had telomeres that were about 40 percent shorter than peers from stable homes. (7)
The takeaway? Chronic stress doesn’t just put you in a bad mood; it contributes to aging in a very real way. Exercising regularly, getting enough sleep and carving out time for yourself daily are all easy ways to help bust stress.

2. Exercise Regularly 
From boosting happiness to providing an energy boost, the benefits of exercise are well documented. Now there’s another reason to hit the gym.
A recent study found that a person who did some type of exercise was about 3 percent less likely to have super short telomeres than a person who didn’t exercise at all. (8) Not only that, but the more a person exercised, the longer their telomeres. The correlation between telomere length and exercise activity seemed to be strongest among those in middle age, suggesting that it’s never too late to start a fitness program and keep those telomeres from shortening.
Another study about how exercise keeps your cells young found that middle-aged adults who were intense runners (we’re talking 45–50 miles a week) had telomere lengths that were, on average, 75 percent longer than their sedentary counterparts. Now, this doesn’t mean you need to become an ultramarathon runner. It does, however, suggest that regularly engaging in intense exercise, like
HIIT workouts, can keep telomeres long and happy.

3. Eat a Range of Foods for Antioxidant and Vitamin Benefits 
Foods high in vitamins are believed to protect cells and their telomeres from oxidative damage. A diet high in antioxidant foods, like berries and artichokes, can slow down aging and help prevent or reduce cell damage.
Additionally, taking a multivitamin supplement to bridge the gap between the foods you’re eating and what your body needs might lengthen telomeres as well. One study found that women who took a daily supplement had telomeres that were about 5 percent longer than nonusers. (9)
But supplements still can’t mimic all the health benefits of eating real, wholesome foods. The same study found that, even after adjusting for supplement use, participants who ate foods high in vitamins C and E also had longer telomeres. Oranges, peppers and kale are among the top vitamin C foods. For vitamin E, turn to almonds, spinach and sweet potatoes.
As always, you should avoid sugary and highly-processed foods. One study found an association between sugar-sweetened soda consumption and shorter telomeres. (10)

4. Practice Meditation and Yoga 
It’s time to unroll your mat and unwind. In a 2014 study among breast cancer survivors, those who participated in mindful meditation and practiced yoga kept their telomeres at the same length; the telomeres of the control group, who did neither activity, shortened during the study time. (11)
A 2008 study among men found that, after three months of a vegan diet, aerobic exercise and stress management, including yoga, there was increased telomerase activity. A 2013 follow-up study found that those lifestyle changes are associated with longer telomeres. (12)
Meditation comes in different forms for different people. For me, it’s healing prayer and setting aside time to reflect. For others, it might be setting an intention for their day, attending a regular yoga class or spending time with loved ones without the distraction of technology or work. Whatever your meditation looks like, it’s clear it’s good for our minds and bodies.
While we wait for science to unravel all the mysteries of telomeres and how they work for ­— and against — us, we can make changes to lengthen them and positively affect the rest of our lives.

A Harvard study, almost 80 years old, has proved that embracing community helps us live longer, and be happier.
By Liz Mineo

When scientists began tracking the health of 268 Harvard sophomores in 1938 during the
Great Depression, they hoped the longitudinal study would reveal clues to leading healthy and happy lives.
They got more than they wanted.
After following the surviving Crimson men for nearly 80 years as part of the Harvard Study
of Adult Development, one of the world’s longest studies of adult life, researchers have collected a cornucopia of data on their physical and mental health.
Of the original Harvard cohort recruited as part of the Grant Study, only 19 are still alive,
all in their mid-90s. Among the original recruits were eventual President John F. Kennedy and longtime Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee.
(Women weren’t in the original study because the College was still all male.)
In addition, scientists eventually expanded their research to include the men’s offspring, who now number 1,300 and are in their 50s and 60s, to find out how early-life experiences affect health and aging over time. Some participants went on to become successful businessmen, doctors, lawyers, and others ended up as schizophrenics or alcoholics, but not on inevitable tracks.
During the intervening decades, the control groups have expanded. In the 1970s, 456 Boston inner-city residents were enlisted as part of the Glueck Study, and 40 of them are still alive. More than a decade ago, researchers began including wives in the Grant and Glueck studies.
Over the years, researchers have studied the participants’ health trajectories and their broader lives, including their triumphs and failures in careers and marriage, and the finding have produced startling lessons, and not only for the researchers.
“The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health,” said Robert Waldinger, director of the study, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “Taking care of your body is important, but tending to your relationships
is a form of self-care too. That, I think, is the revelation.”

“The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest
at age 80,” said Robert Waldinger with his wife Jennifer Stone.

Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes. That finding proved true across the board among both the Harvard men and the inner-city participants.
The long-term research has received funding from private foundations, but has been financed largely by grants from the National Institutes of Health, first through the National Institute of Mental Health, and more recently through the National Institute on Aging.
 
Researchers who have pored through data, including vast medical records and hundreds of
in-person interviews and questionnaires, found a strong correlation between men’s flourishing lives and their relationships with family, friends, and community. Several studies found that people’s level of satisfaction with their relationships at age 50 was a better predictor of physical health than their cholesterol levels were.
“When we gathered together everything we knew about them about at age 50, it wasn’t their middle-age cholesterol levels that predicted how they were going to grow old,” said Waldinger in a popular TED Talk. “It was how satisfied they were in their relationships. The people who were the most satisfied in their relationships at age 50 were the healthiest at age 80.”

He recorded his TED talk, titled “What Makes a Good Life?
Lessons from the Longest Study
on Happiness,” in 2015, and it has been viewed 13,000,000 times.
The researchers also found that marital satisfaction has a protective effect on people’s mental health. Part of a study found that people who had happy marriages in their 80s reported that their moods didn’t suffer even on the days when they had more physical pain. Those who had unhappy marriages felt both more emotional and physical pain.
Those who kept warm relationships got to live longer and happier, said Waldinger, and the loners often died earlier. “Loneliness kills,” he said. “It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.”

According to the study, those who lived longer and enjoyed sound health avoided smoking
and alcohol in excess. Researchers also found that those with strong social support experienced less mental deterioration as they aged.
In part of a recent study, researchers found that women who felt securely attached to their partners were less depressed and more happy in their relationships two-and-a-half years later, and also had better memory functions than those with frequent marital conflicts.
“Loneliness kills. It’s as powerful as smoking or alcoholism.”
— Robert Waldinger.

“Good relationships don’t just protect our bodies; they protect our brains,” said Waldinger
in his TED talk. “And those good relationships, they don’t have to be smooth all the time.
Some of our octogenarian couples could bicker with each other day in and day out, but as long as they felt that they could really count on the other when the going got tough, those arguments didn’t take a toll on their memories.”
Since aging starts at birth, people should start taking care of themselves at every stage of life, the researchers say.
“Aging is a continuous process,” Waldinger said. “You can see how people can start to differ
in their health trajectory in their 30s, so that by taking good care of yourself early in life you can set yourself on a better course for aging. The best advice I can give is ‘Take care of your body as though you were going to need it for 100 years,’ because you might.”
The study, like its remaining original subjects, has had a long life, spanning four directors, whose tenures reflected their medical interests and views of the time.

Under the first director, Clark Heath, who stayed from 1938 until 1954,
the study mirrored the era’s dominant view of genetics and biological determinism.
Early researchers believed that physical constitution, intellectual ability, and personality traits determined adult development. They made detailed anthropometric measurements of skulls, brow bridges, and moles, wrote in-depth notes on the functioning of major organs, examined brain activity through electroencephalograms, and even analyzed the men’s handwriting.
Now, researchers draw men’s blood for DNA testing and put them into MRI scanners to examine organs and tissues in their bodies, procedures that would have sounded like science fiction back in 1938. In that sense, the study itself represents a history of the changes that life brings.

Psychiatrist George Vaillant, who joined the team as a researcher in 1966, led the study from 1972 until 2004. Trained as a psychoanalyst, Vaillant emphasized the role of relationships,
and came to recognize the crucial role they played in people living long and pleasant lives.
“When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment. But the key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.” — George Vaillant
In a book called “Aging Well,” Vaillant wrote that six factors predicted healthy aging for the Harvard men: physical activity, absence of alcohol abuse and smoking, having mature mechanisms to cope with life’s ups and downs, and enjoying both a healthy weight and a stable marriage. For the inner-city men, education was an additional factor. “The more education the inner city men obtained,” wrote Vaillant, “the more likely they were to stop smoking,
eat sensibly, and use alcohol in moderation.”
Vaillant’s research highlighted the role of these protective factors in healthy aging. The more factors the subjects had in place, the better the odds they had for longer, happier lives.
“When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment,” said Vaillant.
“But the key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.”
The study showed that the role of genetics and long-lived ancestors proved less important to longevity than the level of satisfaction with relationships in midlife, now recognized as a good predictor of healthy aging. The research also debunked the idea that people’s personalities
“set like plaster” by age 30 and cannot be changed.
“Those who were clearly train wrecks when they were in their 20s or 25s turned out to be wonderful octogenarians,” he said. “On the other hand, alcoholism and major depression could take people who started life as stars and leave them at the end of their lives as train wrecks.”

Professor Robert Waldinger is director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development,
one of the world’s longest studies of adult life.
The study’s fourth director, Waldinger has expanded research to the wives and children of the original men. That is the second-generation study, and Waldinger hopes to expand it into the third and fourth generations. “It will probably never be replicated,” he said of the lengthy research, adding that there is yet more to learn.
“We’re trying to see how people manage stress, whether their bodies are in a sort of chronic ‘fight or flight’ mode,” Waldinger said. “We want to find out how it is that a difficult childhood reaches across decades to break down the body in middle age and later.”
Lara Tang ’18, a human and evolutionary biology concentrator who recently joined the team
as a research assistant, relishes the opportunity to help find some of those answers. She joined the effort after coming across Waldinger’s TED talk in one of her classes.
“That motivated me to do more research on adult development,” said Tang. “I want to see how childhood experiences affect developments of physical health, mental health, and happiness later in life.”
Asked what lessons he has learned from the study, Waldinger, who is a Zen priest, said he practices meditation daily and invests time and energy in his relationships, more than before.
“It’s easy to get isolated, to get caught up in work and not remembering, ‘Oh, I haven’t seen these friends in a long time,’ ” Waldinger said. “So I try to pay more attention to my relationships than I used to.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI

Secret is Out About Buddhism

Posted on October 24, 2019 by Ken
Hearing words tied to Buddhism can increase our pro-sociality and reduce our prejudice.
Being Rich is over rated:  True wealth is not of the pocket. But of the Heart, Mind  and of the Soul. In Buddhism Belief they express the desire is to desire nothing and at the end of desire — is the end of all suffering!! In Buddhism, the way to end suffering and desire is to follow the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, the Royal Road, or the Vedas?

The Four Noble Truths state that life is filled with suffering, that suffering is caused by a craving for worldly things, that suffering will stop when one learns to suppress desire, and finally that the way to suppress desire is by following the Eightfold Path. The eight steps on the Eightfold Path are Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Vocation, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. The Right View would involve understanding the Four Noble Truths, especially the truth that suffering is caused by desire.
The Eightfold path set out by the Buddha provides the path towards the cessation of suffering. Thus, the Eightfold Path addresses the questions raised by the fourth truth. It is important to understand the Four Noble Truths because they explain the origin of suffering and how to overcome its triggers. The Four Noble Truths can be viewed as the journey, while the Eightfold path is the destination. The Four Noble Truths do not innately provide a way to end suffering.
The Eightfold Path provides an eight-step system towards the realization of spiritual enlightenment and the cessation of suffering. Therefore, by following the eight-step system, one is able to overcome desire and transcend suffering. https://www.learnreligions.com/greed-and-desire-449725

In Buddhism, you have to create a difference between craving/desire (attachment) and aspiration. Attachment means you over-exaggerate the attractiveness of your desired object, which always leads to suffering. Like when you fall blindly in love and only see the positive qualities in your partner, unrealistically exaggerated, while you often don’t see the negative qualities at all, or pretend they are just “cute”. If you contemplate this, you will probably find you virtually always exaggerate the qualities of worldly things you desire, which is also why the contentment with them seldom last forever. After some time, you want another thing. Then another. Then another. And so on.

Attachment (craving/desire) is always rooted in egoism, since you always want, want, want for yourself – even when you think it is love. “Possessive love” is a Western expression for the same thing. In Buddhist terminology, love is something quite different, namely the wish for others to be happy.

Aspiration, on the other hand, is not always negative. Aspiration just means you take a strong interest in something, and is what you use as a basis for enthusiasm, another important factor in Buddhism. Whether aspiration is positive or negative depends on the object or goal. Aspiration for enlightenment, others happiness, peace in the Middle East or freedom for the Burmese people is positive, whereas aspiration for superficial entertainment, worldly fame, the latest car model or drugs is normally negative.

Common Misconceptions of Buddhism!

The highest aspiration in Buddhism (as formulated in the Mahayana traditions) is to attain buddhahood for the sake of being able to help all sentient beings to be free from suffering and reach buddhahood themselves. This is called “bodhicitta” (the mind of enlightenment), and is not only a positive aspiration, but actually a prerequisite for attaining buddhahood. In English you might translate both terms “desire” or “craving”, but in Buddhism they are definitely different things.

If you want a clear explanation with definitions of the different minds and mental factors according to traditional Buddhism, Do you feel that you did something wrong?
That you could’ve changed fate? That your chances would’ve been better if you behaved, looked, or felt differently? Do you feel sad? Like you’ve lost something? Like you missed out?
Or do you feel that you desired something that did not come about. And that’s it. Imagine this news delivered from your thinking brain to your holy self in terms as factual as the morning news. “It is Wednesday in Texas.” “You were not selected for this position.” It’s just a fact like any other news that passes in and out of your brain throughout the day.      https://www.learning-mind.com/key-beliefs-of-buddhism/

A layman’s interpretation of Buddhism may be, “You should not have desired the job, for that creates suffering” where the realistic advice would be “You should not have attached your self-worth/identity to the job, for that creates suffering.” The part where you desired the job and took actions to get closer to that goal are not the problem. That motivation is a beautiful part of life. It only becomes a problem towards the end. If you get what you want, of course there is no problem. But if you do not get what you want, it can create tremendous suffering or tremendous nothing.

 If you desired it, but remained un-attached and had no expectations, then you are no worse off than before you applied for the job. If you hinged your self-worth upon the attachment to getting this job, then you feel like a failure, a loser, you feel not good enough. That is where the suffering lies.
Desire and commitment to goals is an admirable thing and can be done in a way where you remain unattached.
Isn’t the desire for giving up the desire, a desire?
You are right, its a dirty & Nasty trick. 
A trick played by your own mind. 
So, what are you trying to accomplish?

The word desire is often a translation of the word tanha. 
Many Buddhologist say that—like dukkha (translated above as suffering)—tanha is not really translatable. Perhaps closer to the root of meaning is craving or thirst. Obviously, in english we can have positive desires: I desire to live today to its fullest; I desire to do be a decent human; I desire to respond to this question clearly. As such, we can’t say that every nuance of the word desire is inherently bad. If you could create a word that has desire for its base, the implications of thirst and craving, yet with the immediacy of addiction, then you would start to get closer to the meaning of tanha and the reason your craving it.

The implication with equating tanha to suffering (dukkha) is the wrong-minded notion that if we fulfill the thirst/desire/craving/addiction we too will be fully sated and satisfied. Truth is, that which we focus on clinging to or pushing away will never fully satisfy our deepest needs or longings. And so we crave, we long, we desire, we become addicted… all the while feeling that satisfaction and completion is just one more thing away.
In the second noble truth (dukkha samudaya) that implicates desire, it notes that our dukkha originates from three sources: raga (greed/passions), moha (delusion/ignorance), and dosa (hatred/aversion). A very wise man with whom I studied, once said something that I thought was deeply profound. He said,

“In reality, the mind does not want a desire to be fulfilled for the happiness it brings, but for the moment of being free of desire when it is fulfilled.

So you see, you don’t work to be free of the desire because something is wrong with the world, but free of the burden of desire itself because nothing we think we attain is attainable from anything in the world. We want freedom from the burden of the world.

Freedom from desire is for the purpose of understanding the truth, not denying, but having greater access to joy and inner equilibrium. The world cannot always give us fulfillment to our desires. So, if we believe that our happiness comes from the world, we are deceived and our own belief denies us what is rightfully ours. In that respect, mind is a brutal but effective teacher.

Also one becomes disillusioned when desires, fame and fortune do not truly offer the expected lasting happiness. That is one reason why so many famous people overdose.
The weight of fulfilling the immensity of their desires becomes too heavy. They want more happiness then more then more and still, find themselves wanting more. That is because their soul yearns for constant experiencing of its truth. The mind, with its illusions that keeps joy at arms length, deprives one of that joy by sending one forever looking to fulfill yet another desire. But its never enough…..ever….And when you are famous and wealthy and still ‘unhappy’, where do you turn for escape? Many turn to drugs.
That is why when a person becomes more aware, they see the folly of the world, realize the absolute power of SELF and allow the mind to rest within the peace and joy that is its natural state free of desire. It is an incremental process. Think of all of the desires you have had in your life. Okay, now, how much lasting happiness did they give you? How are you feeling as you sit here? What do you want? Plenty.

I think it is at least important to understand the mechanic really going on.
That is how desires cause suffering on a very deep level. The mind untrained, drags us endlessly around by our HERE. Desire causes suffering because its a state of desperation of getting something you don’t have. When you know that you don’t have something then you feel poor and not abundant. After our current desire is fulfilled we find that that thing cannot satisfy us, and we desire more things! We are just not satiable. Its a state of mind. According to Buddhist theory there are three forms of suffering: the suffering of suffering, the suffering of happiness, and the suffering of embodiment.
They are on a spectrum from gross to very subtle.
Everyone knows about the suffering of suffering—stubbing your toe, having your house eaten by a lava flow, pretending all is well when your insides ache—but the second one requires some wisdom to see and the third, a lot of it.
Desire, unless it’s quite gross (like dying of thirst), registers for many people as a kind of happiness. It’s a sort of “pre-joy” or anticipation of the consummation of the joy, the eating of the actual ice cream, fools the brain into putting out hormones like it’s actually happening. The dog salivates when it hears the bell.
But the feeling, even at that stage, is a bit uncomfortable, isn’t it? It’s a sort of excitation that you want to get rid of by getting the thing that will get rid of it. Ahhh…. Finally, ice cream. And then, if you eat too much ice cream, you feel sick. Too much sex, or the wrong sex without Love, or the whatever, and you feel bored, or unsatisfied. It’s like licking honey on a razor’s edge. That is a traditional analogy. Worldly happiness always melts away, leaving its opposite, as well as the craving for more. This is why it’s also called the suffering of change. So on a gross level, desire causes suffering; on a more subtle level, it is suffering.
Finally, while desire (better words might be greed, craving, want, envy, need) is considered a mind poison (because it hurts and makes you do things that don’t benefit you), some wishes are quite different. My desire does not cause my suffering. I cause my suffering. As several others have pointed out, that at  times I can have a desire without causing myself to suffer. I can’t even cause myself to feel joy or happiness with a desire. So it is I who cause my suffering, not my desire.

The way I cause my own suffering is to _allow_ a desire to give rise to feelings of anger, resentment, jealously, injustice, loss, etc., instead of giving rise to feelings of joy, connectedness, happiness, love, etc. But in all cases, it is my perception of my desire (including my emotional reaction to my desire) that causes me pleasure or pain, happiness or suffering–not the desire itself, nor the object of my desire. No one is responsible for my suffering but me because no one is responsible for what I feel and how I feel but me.
‘Desire’, when balanced with contentment for that which occurs in the present, without anxiety (expectation) for what is to occur with it tomorrow does not lead to suffering. Desire for a goal one is working towards to the best of one’s ability, for the good of both oneself and others. Certainly, when seeking to accomplish that desire by one’s own ability, the thought of not accomplishing should not be there. But if one falls short, not being attached to the outcome but being hopeful for more venues to pursue TOWARDS THAT SAME single-pointed outcome will not lead to suffering. NOTHING can be an end-all, be-all, except that you must work towards it as if it is so.

However, those who are consumed by their desire will often miss the entire journey taken towards their ultimate destination. They will forget the gardens, the malls, banks, and car shops they need to stop by before reaching there. Oft impatient they are! They will forget about other people that they ought to treasure in pursuit of one. They forget their very selves and their duties for themselves and for the greater good. Desire necessarily draws on imagination and imagination possesses little competence yet to distinguish with clear vision which paths are only illusions and which cannot even be entered upon. To believe that what is seen is “real” and then to pursue it, believing that it “exists” can only lead to suffering.
It hurts when you don’t have it. If you don’t have what you want it always hurts a bit. And because of the fact that there is only so much stuff, we can expect that most of the time somebody loses something every time we get something. It isn’t always like that but it is sometimes. Every thing we get comes out of the earth in some way and when we take it out of the earth we change it in a way that it can never be the same again. The suffering of change is a great suffering and things change because we desire them to stay the same. 

In Buddhism there are 3 types of suffering
1. the suffering of suffering
2. the suffering of change
3. the suffering of things composite

The suffering of suffering is sickness, old age, and death.
The suffering of change the suffering we get from changes in life
and the suffering of things composite is the suffering we give to others from our joy.
When we enjoy milk we take advantage of the cow. When we walk on the grass we hurt the grass. When we make money off of people they lose money and so on. Everything is suffering according to Buddhism, the point is to overcome suffering. We cant avoid suffering but we don’t have to let it ruin a beautiful life. From my perspective, desire causes suffering by forcing you to live in the future. You don’t get to enjoy what you have. You’re always looking for the next best thing and everything else you’ve acquired through that same desire is placed in the “old” pile. The thrill of ‘having’ dies quickly.
 
If you have no way of acquiring what you desire, your mind convinces you that there will always be a hole somewhere in your consciousness because of it, and that you will fall into that hole time and again. The desire to ‘have’ is not the same as the desire to get ahead in life, or to change things for yourself. These are positive desires that generally involve engaging the co-operation of others.

Acquiring ‘things’ is purely selfish.
https://carm.org/is-buddhism-compatible-with-christianity

My desire to live without chronic pain causes the suffering I experience. If the desire is gone, even with the pain still present, no more suffering. I suffer only because I want the pain to go away. This is a mental/emotional/spiritual trick I have not mastered, nor even come close. But, I am told, there are those who have mastered this and live at peace with pain. Other, so-called positive desires — love, sex, food — can cause suffering, as well. When I let go the desire, no more suffering. Pretty esoteric,

Namaste

Ann Beat Cancer With No Chemo or Radiation!

Posted on October 23, 2019 by Ken
Ann E. Fonfa was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993.

because of extreme chemical sensitivities, she couldn’t do any conventional treatment. What she could do, however, was establish life style changes. Almost immediately she switched to an all organic, plant based diet. Additionally she incorporated up to 60 minutes of daily exercise and nutritional supplementation. She didn’t wait for things to get worse. 
Since her initial diagnosis, Ann has had 25 tumors and every single one of them has grown slower than normal tumor cells. She attributes this to the changes she was able to make right away.
⚡ What alternative therapies did you do and which ones helped you the most? ⚡
Started with metabolic enzyme therapy, changed eating to all organic, no meat, chicken or turkey. Occasional fish, no dairy but yogurt rarely.
Tried 714X (Nessons), had applied kinesiology, acupuncture, many supplements. Went to Gerson Therapy clinic in Mexico.
Never developed metastatic disease even after 5 years of tumors on the left side.
Used Maitake Mushroom D-Fraction Extract, high-dose vitamin A which both reduced tumors and also Eventually began taking (April 1999 – August 2001) Chinese herbs from Dr. George Wong. Never got another tumor, chemical sensitivity symptom changed immediately, and intensity reduced by (my estimate) 60%.

“It’s important to know that it really makes a difference,” Ann says. “Studies show that when children eat organic food for a week, the chemicals that we don’t want in their bodies come out. There are up to 200 chemicals in the umbilical chord that brand new babies get. So even in the womb, they get chemicals, because that’s the world we live in. That’s why we need to take precautions. Even if you don’t have cancer, it’s a good idea to make moves. But if you think that something is wrong and you’re about to get a scan or you’re scheduled for surgery, make your changes now.”
Ann believes that many cancer patients can feel “stuck” after their diagnosis and can sometimes do nothing, out of here. This lack of action she warns, can be deadly. Instead Ann preaches that patients take control of what they direct influence over….namely diet, mind set and attitude.
Below she has outlined 9 tips that she feels will help:
Ann’s 9 Tips To Your Success
1) Food Matters! This is the #1 thing Ann pointed out in the interview.

2) Eat organic whenever possible, no preservatives, artificial colors, and bring your own food when going to restaurants with loved ones.

3) Enjoy life! Don’t let the fear of cancer overwhelm you and focus on simple things, birds at the park or the
breeze by a lake to unwind. 

4) Be Physically active! Walk around when you can. The body was designed to MOVE around.

5) Stay positive and share that positivity in group settings. Smiling is contagious


6) If you’re going to CHIPSA, go to the classes! The lectures and educational pieces are crucial. 

7) Go with your gut feeling! Believe you can and will heal. The Power of the Mind cannot be overstated.
  8) Detox! Ann still does coffee enemas 25 years later!

9) Stay committed, strong, and make it possible. Many have done it before you and it’s now your turn.
Ann E. Fonfa and Her Annie Appleseed Project
Ann E. Fonfa, is the creator and founder of the  Annie Appleseed Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation which provides information, education, advocacy, and awareness for people with cancer and their families and friends who are interested in complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) and natural therapies from a patient’s perspective. has been free of breast cancer for 25 years. 
What books, products, and supplements do you recommend?
I founded the Annie Appleseed Project, online since 1999. We’ve linked to thousands of useful pages, posted information for everyone regardless of what they are doing – complementary and alternative therapies.

Our Feelings are 0f High Importance.

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Ken
✦꧁❦- ღ Everything Around Us Is Energy ღ -❦꧂✦

When we are living in a peaceful and loving state of mind, we will influence the world around us, for sure. The universe is absorbing every vibration we are creating, no matter bad or good, and it will echo.
Furthermore, if we collect all the vibration around the world, we will have obtained the whole human consciousness. In the internal state of human origins, we can see war, aggravation, famine, scarcity, violence, hatred, frustration, etc., so we can find them in the world too.
On the other hand, every day, we might be witnesses of the vibration of growth, love, kindness, expansion, forgiveness, having fun with others and change. These vibrations are made from the bottom of our souls and will return to the natural state, so we can continue living our lives in a brighter future and prosperity. This process is called energetic awakening, and it is happening on the planet now.

Human Consciousness and Earth Dynamics

Only by understanding the universe, we can change our world. Seeing and understanding nature will change your way of thinking. The real change will start with comprehension of the principles of the universe and the ones to our life. The function of this information is to awake us all and tell us that we are all some sort of energy, spreading uniquely.
Each thing in the universe is a vibration of energy. Each atom, each molecule, and all of the objects that we think they are in solid form are literary made of 99.9% space. The physical and material world that we are dealing with is neither physical nor material. Basically, it is something far more complicated than that. This theory has been proved by many physicists, winners of the Nobel Prize, including Niels Bohr who was a Danish physicist to whom we are grateful for the understanding of atomic structure and development of the quantum theory. “If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. “–Niels Bohr.
All around us is energy, and we ourselves are energy. When you start believing this and perceive yourself as a spiritual being that hasn’t been touched by the space and the time, the barricades around you will begin to fade. The best ways to understand the information above are through meditation and self-contemplation.  After each noticed frequency,  our body produces vibrations.  In case your frequency in on a high level, it means that you are in a positive state of mind, and the negativity won’t influence you. But, in case you are stressed, depressed, you will have low and slow vibration, which will allow the negative energy to influence you even more.

The human body is part of the soul of planet earth.

We each individualize ourselves that the soul which consists of four lower bodies representing the elements of the planet which are, fire, air, water, and earth. Every one of our interpretations is based exclusively on our “inner map” of reality, but not the real truth. Our “inner maps” are a result of the collective experience of our personal lives. Our thoughts are also associated with this invisible energy and they also determine what form it is going to take. They can change the universe “particle after particle,” creating our 3D life. They have proved that our thoughts are responsible for holding this ever-changing energy field together in the form, as well as the shape of the objects that we know.

You should look around you.

Everything that you can see in our physical world starts as an idea that kept growing until it materialized into a physical object through a series of steps.
So, why do we see a person, as a human life form instead of flashing clusters of energy?

You should think of a film roll. A fill is a collection of about 24 frames per second. Each of the frames is separated from the other by a small space. In comparison to the speed these frames change with, our eyes are tricked and see them as a continuous film. Also, you should think about television. The cathode tube is just a simple tube that has a bunch of electrons hitting the screen in some way, making an illusion of shape and movement. Anyway, this is how all the objects are actually made. Every person has five physical senses – sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. 
Each of them has a specific range, for instance, a dog hears a different range of sound that people do; snakes see a different spectrum of light than us and so on. In other words, our senses actually perceive the energy from a certain fixed point of view, and that is how they create images and form our perception.
Everything that you can see in our physical world starts as an idea that kept growing until it materialized into a physical object through a series of steps.

You literally turn into your most frequent thoughts.
Your life has become what you imagined, as well as believed in.

Our world is literally our mirror which permits us to experience everything that we believe to be true in this 3D plane…until we change it.
Quantum physics actually tells us that the world is not a constant as it may appear to be. 
Instead of that, it is a place of a constant motion that our individual and collective thoughts keep building, as well as tearing down and rebuilding. 
It is a Perpetuum mobile.  What we actually believe to be true is an illusion which is almost tragic.
Luckily, we begin exposing the illusion and, what is most important we are learning how to change it.

Everything is Electricity

 Here, we will give you a simple explanation. What are the components of our body?
The human body is comprised of nine systems, which include the circulatory, digestive, endocrine, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal and urinary system. And, what actually makes these systems? Tissues and organs. So what are tissues and organs made of? Cells. So what actually makes the cells? Molecules. What makes a molecule? Atoms.  What makes an atom? Sub-atomic particles. What makes a subatomic particle?  Energy!

So, we are an energy light in its most beautiful and intelligent configuration.
The energy which constantly changes under the surface and all of this… is controlled by our powerful minds.

If you have the capability to see it under a strong electronic microscope, as well as do some other experiments on it, you would see that you are made of clusters of forever changing energy in the form of electrons, neutrons, protons and other sub-atomic particles too. So is everything else that surrounds you. Quantum physics also tells us —  that the act of observing the object –  is actually the one which causes the object to be there.  The object does not exist individually of its observer.  So, as you can notice,  during observation, your attention is focused only on something and your intention literally creates that certain thing.

That has been scientifically proven. Your world consists of soul, mind, and body. Each of them has a unique function. What we can actually see with our eyes and experience with our body is the physical world, which is called the BODY. It is an effect which is created by a cause. And that cause is called THOUGHT. The body cannot produce, but it can only experience and be experienced. It is a unique capability.  On the other hand, the thoughts cannot experience, but it can only make, as well as create and interpret. It needs a world of relativity in order to be experienced.

Our soul is everything, and it gives life thought and human embodiment. The body has no power to create, even though it gives the illusion that it does. 
So, this illusion is actually the reason behind so many frustrations. The body is a pure effect, and it has no power to cause, as well as to create.

What is the soul?

Everything that exists is a vibration of energy which includes the soul. Many speak of the soul without really knowing what the soul is. The human body is part of the soul of planet earth and we each individualize that soul consists of four lower bodies representing the elements of the planet which are, fire, air, water, and earth. The soul consists of unique vibrations of energy, respectively, of the identity body (fire), the mental body (air), the emotion body (water), and the physical body (earth). The four lower bodies interact with each other and the energies of each can become unbalanced in the material realm resulting in karma.

All souls (persons) are subject to the law of cause and effect based on thoughts and actions which becomes karma. Karma is neither good nor bad but provides the opportunity to learn the truth about oneself. The identity body represents the super-conscious mind. It is how we identify ourselves in the material realm regardless of the name given at birth. It is the higher mind that links to higher realizations and provides guidance for the conscious mind.
The mental body represents the conscious mind; it is how we think in order to conduct ourselves in the material realm of form, time and space, and linear thinking.
The emotion body represents the sub-conscious mind; it is the seat of memory, desire, and feeling, and causes action.
The physical body represents the unconscious mind which operates the body functions such as the heartbeat, breathing, digestion, and the healing of cuts and wounds, etc.

When life leaves the body upon so-called death, the mental, emotion, and the physical bodies decompose.
The patterns of the mental, emotion, and physical body of the lifetime is stored in the identity body to be used for reincarnation of the soul. In most cases, 
the soul is allowed to reincarnate until the life stream makes the ascension to a higher realm with no need for a material body that needs a soul. The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.
Composition of Soul:-
Soul is anti-matter which is required for any energy transaction, transfer, creation, sustenance and destruction. Its effect is consciousness which flows through matters and causes everything. It is covered by subtle senses by choice which makes it isolated and limited from other soul and Super soul but it is by choice. Soul reaches, perceives, communicates and acts by the network of its consciousness. It’s made of emotion. The “soul” is the “feeler”, it is the source of all human emotions.
 It is the source of all love and beauty, but also all hatred and ugliness. It is also sometimes called Atman, “consciousness” or “God”. It is ephemeral, non-physical. In self-realization one often takes the identity of the soul and literally “becomes” consciousness. One could then say “I am not my body, I am consciousness” or “I am a soul in a body”. The soul is the source of the feeling of “I am”.
It is usually discovered when the egoic identity falls away. Once discovered, the soul begins to suffer, which is why after self-realization people can become very sensitive, naked, emotional. Everything hurts. Tears out of the blue. All of that comes out. It is the soul’s ultimate destiny to completely surrender to The Absolute and become non-existent along with the ego. But you could also say that both constitute ego and in self-realization only the core of it is gone, and throughout the successive journey to enlightenment the rest of it goes away. 

Then you don’t need a special term for “soul”.
Both interpretations would be correct, it doesn’t matter.

SO WHAT IS THE SOUL MADE OF?
Asking what a thing is “made up of” refers to the material dimension of a being, whereas what a thing is “made into” is more properly the formal dimension.

WE ALL KNOW that atoms and cells may be said to be what a human being is “made of”, i.e. the material dimension, but the soul refers to the kind of life-form that it is, i.e. the formal dimension. The soul is the formal principle behind living things (not just human beings), which gives a particular life-form its continual identity, since matter does not provide differentiating identities. 
For example, cats and dogs are “made up of” same kind of matter, but are very distinct species. Also, the cells in one’s body are completely replaced in certain cycles, yet one remains the same person. The soul is not as ridiculous a notion as some would believe; it’s a philosophically necessary factor in accounting for distinct living beings (if such distinctions are real), and the qualitative difference between a living thing and a dead one (if such a difference is recognized at all). 
The alternatives usually end up with a form of Monism (“there’s only ever one kind of thing, in the end”), which contradicts both common sense (which upholds the two distinctions mentioned above) and common conduct (which acts based on those two distinctions). Everything Around Us is Energy, and We Have the Ability to Control it With the Power of Our Thoughts Without any doubt. The Nobel Prize awardees in physics proved that the physical world is one big ocean of energy which materializes and dematerializes in a split second, over and over again. 
Everything is energy that the 5 human senses cannot fully perceive. Both the nonphysical and physical aspects of our universe are made up of energy and intelligence that vibrates. Nothing rest still…. The difference between physical matter that we can perceive with our senses and the unseen … Some call this The Unified Field or The Matrix. Others talk about pure potentiality – all being energy. To attract positive things in your life, start by giving off positive energy!!

Nothing Is Solid & Everything Is Energy – Scientists Explain The World of Quantum Physics. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” Each and every one of us brings energy to our co-workers, loved ones, and even the stranger in line behind us at the grocery store. 
It would serve us all well to realize that the energy we radiate affects others’ lives, and we need to be responsible for it.

— Everything around us is made up of Energy.. Be the Energy you want to attract..

You Attract the Energy that you give off. Spread good Vibes.

They’re all around us: People who suck all the positive energy out of us to fuel their relentless hunger for negativity, leaving us drained, exhausted, and unhappy. Whatever you call them—energy vampires – whatever. “Rage — whether in reaction to social injustice, or to our leaders’ insanity, or to those who threaten or harm us — is a powerful energy that, with diligent practice, can be transformed into fierce compassion.” Everything around us is made up of energy. To attract positive things in your life, start by giving off positive energy

What Is Human Aura – By Nishant Sharma Since ancient times we have seen pictures and paintings of different spiritual leaders across various traditions but one thing that is common among all of them is the aura that surrounds their head which is known as the energy field. https://www.bing.com/videos/

Here’s a simplified explanation of quantum physics and how much of what goes on around us in the world is beyond what our limited senses can perceive, but yet still exists.

https://www.practical-

Energy Around Us uses the concept of energy to help us describe how and why things behave the way they do. We talk about solar energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, et cetera. If you apply a force to an object, you may change its energy. This means that everything and everyone around us, even us – everything is energetically entangled. Moreover, this energy that all existence is made up of, possesses all the information of all there was, is and will be.

E = mc 2 E = mc 2, equation in German-born physicist Albert Einstein ’s theory of special relativity. That expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. Energy comes to us in different forms. The chair you’re sitting on, the music you’re listening to, or the book you just finished reading, all provoke some sort of reaction within you.

MC is us and everything around us and E is Energy and we are all energy made up of the same thing = square 2.

Energy is a bit of a mystery. Most of the time we can’t see it, yet it is everywhere around us. Revving car engines burn energy, hot cups of coffee hold energy, street lights that shine at night are using energy, sleeping dogs are using energy too—absolutely everything you can think of is using energy in one way or another. Trauma, emotional and mental stress, false belief systems, physical distress, environment stress, and other blocks to our personal growth can be stored in the energy fields of our bodies, impacting our ability to function at our full potential.

Energetic healing facilitates the healing process by clearing blocks in the energy fields, repairing and rebalancing the energy so that the body can move to its optimal level of balance from where it is able to access its inherent ability to heal itself. Energetic healing can also help identify “issues” before they manifest as pain or similar distortions in the physical body. It opens our consciousness to the areas we need to work through and heal in order to bring our lives into balance and maintain health, harmony and vitality. 

Energetic healing takes a holistic approach that looks beyond the physical to manipulating the subtle energy systems (meridians, auric bodies, chakras, nadis) where the cause of the dis-ease can be located. https://blog.mindvalley.com/negative-energy/  Through the 1990’s, Dr. Masaru Emoto performed a series of experiments observing the physical effect of words,  prayers,  music and environment on the crystalline structure of water.  Dr. Emoto also hired photographers to take pictures of water after being exposed to the different variables and subsequently frozen so that they would form crystalline structures.
The results were nothing short of remarkable..

ALL YOU HAVE TO Remember —
Everything Is Energy and…
Energy is Everything!!!!

My Children Are My Rock

Posted on October 20, 2019 by Ken
I was born and raised from a wealthy happy respectful family back in the Philippines and the youngest of 5 siblings. Growing up my siblings weren’t always spoiled by material things. But by the love and attention from our parents, family and friends. My parents always talk to us about life challenges, the good and the bad. Dealing with the trials and tribulations and truth or the consequences and makes us stronger as a person and that, is all that matters in life.
As an adult I was a happy go lucky kind a person, always very energetic and full of life, I don’t get upset that easy and when I do.  I just think about my wonderful parents. Specially my dad who was the most patience, loving, considerate person I’ve ever known in my life. When I graduated after college I decided to explore outside the Philippines and my first destination was Singapore.
Where I backpack all around Asia until I decided to go farther and
landed in Canada many moons ago.
While on working Visa, I met my ex-husband at the party Long story short, I get pregnant got married and decided to become a stay at home mom as we were blessed with 2 beautiful children (and one still born.) I took care of our kids while my husband were working until my daughter Shannon was nine and my son Granger seven.
My two children are the best thing to ever happen in my life. Although with so many obstacles and challenges and pain on the married side.
I decided to stay in the relationship because of the love I have to my children. It was always what upbringing by my parents taught me, ” once you bring children into this world, is not about you anymore — but your children ” that made me decide to raise and nourish them even though I was suffering from emotional problems. My kids always seen me as a happy mom whom always play with them and taught them how to handle life so does their dad. Our priority is our children and still.
Then the unthinkable occurred: My husband got laid off from his job in 2008. Then he became the stay at home dad and I went back to work.
That’s when the relationship started to turn sour and shit starts happened. We became like two roommates raising 2 beautiful kids. In 2014 , we decided to move to  Vancouver island BC, Canada and that’s when shit starts getting worse and worse. Our children we had together are 13 and 11.
Then we bought a freight business which he manages.
My name wasn’t attached the business, but he bought a brand new truck and my name wasn’t attached to the truck and ( i thought that was a red flag ) yet all these bills was on my name. As he makes very little to almost no Contributions to paying the Bills. I had 3-4 jobs to juggle on my schedule and very little sleep and started eating unhealthy foods.
Before this I was big on eating healthy and organic whole foods. But I became engross with loads of bills to pay budgeting was my top priority. As  I’m to tired to shop or cook, thereby In October 2017, my family doc asked me to get a mammogram and it was my first time ever. When I went to get the mammogram, then the ultrasound; they find a lump on my breast.
Then my doc sent me to biopsy and the results was I have breast cancer. IDC . On November 2nd 2017 I went through surgery (a mastectomy on my right breast.) Most of my family and friends didn’t know about this episodes of my life. Because i am very private person and I thought to myself they don’t need to know. Besides I don’t need to ask for help or talk to them about anything. Because it is me: I am the one dealing with the battle and wilI  know exactly what I want and need to do. If I stay focus. on a positive side and I do not let other people to distract m from doing what I know will be right for me.
My dad used to say,  no matter what happens in your life, only you can make it better, only you can make your own destiny
( before the breast cancer diagnosis I was always a bit confused about this fact of life.)
When diagnosed with breast cancer after a mammogram, Maria Fassbender from Campbell River British Columbia was given the usual options: chemo, radiation and surgery. She did have surgery but chose a natural route with cannabis after discovering cannabis health radio podcast and hearing about other breast cancer success stories. She decided she wanted to have a survivor story and not become just another casualty of cancer.

Most times cancer is imbalance That probably caused the conflict in your body?

Within this time in my life I lost my ex-husband, even though to this day is a good father to my kids. But I gained millions peace of mind, happiness and very healthy lifestyle. When I was in a very depressed emotion of my life, I went to a bridge and thought of suicide but then I heard Gods voice behind me say you aren’t alone. Then I ask GOD, do you think my life is worth living ” what did I do wrong? I sort of questioning God, then he gave me a sign. He told me shortly there will be someone who will show up in your life that will care and respect who you are. Then after few months I met a man of my dream  who accepted me for the person that I am — without questions – who my children truly love and respect because they see how much he cares for us.
Within my illness: I’m so proud I did cannabis oil and I’m so proud of my research that brought me to cannabis health radio. Because if I didn’t do my research. I wouldn’t know those in my life who I met doing the research and would not have known about C.H.R.  The universe loves me, I’m not a religious person and not a church going kind a person but I believe in God and knows the universe guides me. The universe also helps you find the people you need when you need them. You have to believe in the power of the universe and that it will find you…

The Universe “GOD” is great!!

Some people I found give sort of funny advice. But what I have learned is that I have become my best adviser. Because I’m the one feeling the battle and I’m the negotiator not a fighter kinda person.  I don’t know which strain of cannabis they used. I received my cannabis package from Tilrey which is my prescription from my doctor in http://mcrci.com/. They make sure I do the right dosing. At first I got a little paranoid and called my doctor in tears saying it’s not working and he would always tell me be patient give it more time.

Also juicing is the rainbow of my life: Beets, water melon rind , carrots, kale, parsley, celery and lemon. I prefer more vegetables in my juice (80% vegetables juice to 20 % fruit juice.)  I try to include Roy-G-Biv, all the colors of the spectrum into my juicing. It depends on my moods sometimes I mix them and experiment. Which one is the best mixed. It all depends what my taste buds want that day.
Happy taste buds, will create a happy body.

Most of my family and friends didn’t know about this episodes in my life.  Because I am very private person and I thought to myself they don’t need to know this and besides I don’t need to ask for help or talk to them about it.  I am the one dealing with the battle and I will know exactly what I want and need to do. So I focus on a positive side because I do not like distractions from anyone else.

Also I don’t like anybody feeling sorry or crying over me Because I had the disease. My dad used to say,  no matter what happens in life, only you can make it better, you can make your own destiny ( I was a bit confused of that till this breast cancer came ) that means,  I know I was so stressed and yet I don’t want to get out of the marriage so I made my own destiny?

The Autumnal Equinox

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Ken
Are the solstice and the equinox the same thing?
No, but both have to do with Earth’s relationship to the sun.
As we’ve established, during an equinox, the sun crosses the equator, making that date’s stretches of day and night about the same length of time. A solstice, on the other hand, is a period in which the sun is at its farthest point from the equator.
Like the equinoxes, there are two solstices a year.
During the summer solstice, the North Pole tilts to a point closest to the sun, making it the longest day of the year. The opposite happens during the winter solstice: the South Pole is tilted closest to the sun, making the day of that solstice the shortest, darkest day of the year (again, we’re specifically referring to the Northern Hemisphere here). The beginnings of winter, spring, summer, and fall are ushered in by four events: The winter solstice, the vernal equinox, the summer solstice, and the autumnal equinox, respectively.

October being Breast Cancer Month:

Breast cancer patients know what the stresses of having breast cancer can do to their stress levels. As with Rural farmers — know all to well the harvest moon brings days getting shorter after your body is use to longer days and an added work load to their body,

Katie Lyons grew up on an Illinois farm and experienced first-hand how depression can change farm families. “When I was younger, he was always out playing with us in the yard having fun,” Lyons says of her father, David Hulsizer. “We used to go swimming and do a lot of different activities. I try to hold those memories close because that’s all I have left.” In 2013, the unthinkable changed their family forever when Lyons’ father died by suicide at 51. She says her dad battled depression and anxiety for years, but when anyone would try to address it, he shut down.

“There’s a huge stigma around mental health. We think it’s a weakness or something is wrong with us, but [mental illness] is a true medical condition,” Lyons says. ”Sometimes it’s hard to admit we need help. There are resources out there. I don’t want    this to happen to another farm family.” Mental Stress Causes Physical Pain: A baseball flies to the back of the batting cage as Indiana farmer Greg Doms, 48, readies another pitch. For a few minutes, the stress of farming and his off-farm job takes a back seat to the simple joy of hitting baseballs. This year, spending a few precious moments, bat in hand, has seemed nearly cathartic. “I don’t know if I’m visualizing Mother Nature on the face of that ball or what,” Doms laughs.

His seasonal nemesis nearly put him in the ground his family has been tending for four generations. In June, amid the relentless rains Doms ended up in the ER. “I thought I was having a heart attack,” Doms says. “I wasn’t, thank goodness, but it was so much stress mounting up.” For several weeks, doctors searched in vain for the culprit. Today the best guess as to what caused his multiple ailments is stress from farming. Now, thanks to a little honesty, dry weather and a few baseballs, Doms is back on his game.“We live by the F’s,” Doms says. “It goes faith, family, friends, farming and maybe a little fun.”

The Pressure To Succeed Erodes Confidence:

The most difficult endeavor Chris Adams has faced in his nine years of full-time farming is the mental capacity and confidence the profession requires. As a child coming into a successful empire, it might seem like a road paved in gold, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. ”You don’t know whether you can keep the family business going or if you’ll be the generation that fails,“ says Adams, 32. ”I really feel for the younger producers who are in this position, and nobody ever talks about it. While Adams has battled mild depression and confidence issues for most of his life, the mental strain deepened when he transitioned to the farm.

”I felt shadowed by the success of my dad, and I could not picture a scenario where I could add something to the farm,“ he says. ”Without my wife and parents, I would never have even diagnosed myself with depression or even thought I could feel success.” Through counselor visits and support from his family, Adams has learned to manage the day-to-day stress of running a large farm operation, overcome self-doubt and actually feel the success he‘s added to the farm. Loss of a Loved One Deepens Family’s Resolve Four years ago, John Baillie died from a heart event at the age of 71.“Our dad was hauling grain in the semi that day. Mom advised him not to drive after his lunch break [because he wasn’t feeling well],” says daughter Johneen Davis.

“Basically, Dad had always told us he would work until the day he died because he loved farming.” Despite the shock and grief, the family rallied to keep Terra Bona Farms going. Today Davis with husband, Doug; mom, Glenda; sister, Suzanne; and brother-in-law, Troy, run the 975-acre row-crop operation near Piper City, Ill. “Working together on the farm has brought us closer together, true family stewardship,” Davis says. “We have made changes the past few years to be safer, eat healthier and take better care of each other as we balance regular jobs in addition to growing the farm legacy.”

Caregivers Must Care for Themselves Farmers and ranchers have been on a stressful and emotional roller coaster ride in 2019 — and really the past few years. Relentless weather. Volatile markets. Trade wars. Drama in Washington. Machinery breakdowns. Tough financial decisions.  Information overload. Family quarrels. These are serious issues that need attention, an understanding team, expert advisers and a proactive plan to deal with the stress. While mental health has many stigmas, agriculture is unique, says Adrienne DeSutter, a farm wife who specializes in behavioral health, specifically agriculture wellness. “Farmers are some of the best caregivers in the world,” DeSutter says. “They care for crops, the land and their animals, but they’re not always the best caregivers of themselves.

”As naturally selfless, ambitious individuals, farmers rarely rely on others to fix something wrong, which makes it hard to reach out when they need help with issues such as depression, DeSutter adds.“ I know I am not the only person to go through this kind of mental stress,” says North Dakota farmer Chris Adams. “I think it is running rampant in all facets of business. However, I think it is far more dangerous in the ag world because traditionally farmers are not much for talking, let alone talking about feelings to someone else.”

Know The Signs Stress affects our body, mind and actions, explains Glennis McClure, University of Nebraska Extension farm and ranch management analyst. Stress symptoms can surface in the form of moodiness, anxiety, chest pain, forgetfulness, sleeping too much or too little, eating too much or too little, increased use of alcohol or withdrawal from others. In David Hulsizer’s case, he became detached. “He’d taken himself out of a lot of different organizations. He didn’t do a lot of extracurricular activities. It was basically go to work, come home and go to bed type activities,” recalls Katie Lyons, his daughter. DeSutter says those signs are different person-to-person.

“Look for something that has changed or multiple things that have changed,” she says. ”At the farm, you might find the livestock is being cared for less or see things looking a little more rundown than normal.” If any of these signs are starting to creep into the picture, DeSutter says the first step is to ask your primary care physician for help. The doctor can then refer you on to a specialist. “In many rural areas, a high percentage of visits to family physicians are due to stress-related illnesses,” says Brandy VanDeWalle, University of Nebraska Extension educator. For Greg Doms, stress was the culprit of multiple health issues.

As a seed-corn grower, his payments are based on how his crops stack up against the neighbor. Added on top, Doms and his wife, Jenny, both have day jobs. “It makes us weekend warriors,” Doms says. “We farm after work, we farm on the weekends, and we push that to the limit in good weather, and with bad weather it just digs that hole deeper.” It isn’t uncommon, during planting, for Doms to work all day, come home, farm until 2 a.m. and then head back to work at seven.

Remember you matter. “If you feel like depression is overwhelming you and you feel that sense of worthlessness and hopelessness, I need you to know your worth is not measured by the markets,” she says. “It’s not measured by your farm. You are a valuable person who needs some help. Talk to anyone who will listen.” After Lyons’ dad died, her family made tough decisions.

They sold portions of the farm so it was more manageable for their family to keep farming. Knowing when it’s time to walk away is what helps keep Lyons and her family going, as well as remembering to enjoy the little things in life. If you need immediate help, call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255.To learn the signs of suicidal risk and find more resources to help you manage mental and physical stress, visit www.AgWeb.com/rural-health

11 Ways to Deal With Depression Symptoms Without Drugs.

Also when Nintendo released their handheld Game Boy system in the U.S. and Japan in 1989, the first game most users experimented with was Tetris. Bundled with the system, the clever puzzler—which prompts players to line up a descending array of tiles to create horizontal lines—was the video game equivalent of an addictive drug. Some players described seeing the shapes in their dreams. The game was in the hands of 35 million portable players; by 2010, it had sold 100 million smartphone downloads.
Now, there’s evidence that Tetris players may have a solution to anxiety in the palms of their hands. According to a paper published in the journal Emotion, Tetris has the capability to relieve stress and troubling thoughts by providing a form of distraction.
As part of a larger study about the benefits of distraction, researchers at the University of California, Riverside conducted an experiment on 309 college students who were told to expect some anxiety-provoking news: They were told someone would be offering an evaluation of their physical attractiveness. While they waited for their results, a third of the subjects played a slow-moving, beginner-level version of Tetris; another group played a high-speed variation; and a third played an adaptive version, which automatically adjusted the speed of the game based on the player’s abilities.
Tetris games that were too slow or too fast bored or frustrated players, respectively. But the game that provided a moderate challenge helped reduce the subjects’ perception of their stress levels. They reported a quarter-point higher level of positive emotions on a five-point scale and a half-point reduction of negative emotions. The students still worried about the results of the attractiveness evaluation, but they experienced fewer negative feelings about it.
The key, according to the study, is that the students were experiencing “flow,” a state of mind in which you’re so engrossed in an activity that you lose your sense of self-awareness. While Tetris may be one of the best ways to quickly fall into flow, anything that consumes your attention—playing music, drawing, cooking—is likely to work.
The next time you have to wait for potentially life-altering news, you may find that a Tetris session will help you cope.
Always take symptoms of depression seriously. Don’t try to just handle things on your own. Talk to your doctor and discuss some of the self-help strategies that may support your treatment.

The Warrior Princess

Posted on October 15, 2019 by Ken
Get on your knee – pray and ask God to show you the way!!!

It’s October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month! October 15, 2011, marked 8-YEARS: the official day of my pet scan confirming I was cancer-free, NED, CURED. I knew I was healed even a couple months prior in August because I didn’t hurt! My bones did not feel broken anymore and I could breathe freely! One of my tumors had infiltrated an air passage.

I had to go to the ER for that one because it felt like I had inhaled a pebble! Well, hello October! Everyone’s still running for the cure! We have to make money for more research, mammograms, et… cetera. There are people out there getting well conventionally.

BUT that’s not the only way successful or unsuccessful results are happening. People are responding favorably to alternative treatments as well. I get asked all the time where did you get the courage to choose alternative cancer treatment at stage four?

Why would you refuse conventional treatment from a reputable hospital such as UCLA? What made you cross the border go to CMN Hospital? I couldn’t get there fast enough!

My intuition served me well and I think we all need to trust that tug more often to do something that feels like the answer, it feels right even if it goes against what others want for you.

Trust that tug. I call them Angel Nudges from God.

That question never stops baffling me because I know I am not the only one in my generation who grew up hearing about a loved who got cancer And linking that word to eminent death. Why? I’m not a morbid person. I naturally associated cancer with bald heads, vomiting burns, weight loss and quite frankly it scared the living daylights out of me. I watched some loved ones go through it and not make it.

I hated the funerals and that’s what scared me.

I have always been afraid of cancer and conventional treatments. I’m a big baby! When I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was told I only had 3-12 months I had anxiety attacks and started sleeping with the light on. Crazy, I know. I had to try something else (people think that was brave of me). No, no, no, let me tell you, I have seen the brave who did not cross a border to Mexico.

The brave are walking into the infusion rooms and most are having to go through those side effects. Especially the chemo cocktail like “Red Devil” (That’s the word they use for it and many have braved through every round even knowing it had no guarantee of curing them). I had neither guarantee either at CMN with alternative, however, what did I have to lose by trying something healthy? But Shannon knew that by staying that first night in Mesa, Arizona and having CMN Hospital Uber her across the border to the hospital made it a safe decision.

So, in Feb 2011, I marched myself, fearful yet courageous across the border to CMN Hospital to try something healing that would not put me through “hell” physically.

I knew that chemotherapy would always be there waiting for me. I was blessed my immune system responded to every treatment and by October 15, 2011 my paperwork showed I was cancer-free. I never used the word remission, I told everyone I was cured and I still say I am cured!

Years later. People are still to this day blown away because they don’t understand how having stage 4 breast cancer in all lobes of my lungs and bones can disappear! It’s hard for them to understand that some of us will have an immune system that responds to healthy cancer treatment choices. Obviously, there’s no guarantee for whatever we choose.

Thank you, God, for what you provided us here on this planet to heal our bodies. Thank you, Dr. Payan and everyone at CMN Hospital! I have been given the grace and gift of 8 years of incredible health! I knew that I was going to get healthier in one way or another and if God had that in the plan. Why not go to His pharmacy first and boost my immune system! It was hard for me growing up in modern America and trying to understand the standard approach to treating cancer.

When I was younger I thought the ONLY way to treat cancer was chemo, surgery and radiation. I never saw anything healthy being prescribed to my loved ones, so I thought cancer was the worse thing you could get. Now that I have a better understanding of what actually exists for treating cancer in a less barbaric way just beyond the US border in Mexico. I keep wondering why advanced America won’t allow it and why it has been proven to be just as successful as conventional. Why isn’t it covered with health insurance?

We should be able to use sensible healthy treatments options such as the ones I did and not just for cancer. Many health disorders can heal from what I did. My life depended on the choice I made and taking time out to do that treatment was not going to make me any sicker — but it could buy me time. It just felt like common sense to me and a wise choice.

Eight years later still cancer-free when UCLA only gave me 3 to 12 months prognosis.

We need to accept it now as a way to approach treating cancer both conventional and alternative and integrative. We must be aware that by using both have proven effective and also proven ineffective with some people.

Summarizing Shannon’s Story: In 2006 she had her first diagnosis of stage three and a stage 4 recurrence in 2010. University of Washington recommended chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Tamoxifen was recommended to prevent recurrence. 

Shannon accepted the surgery recommendation and had a bilateral mastectomy October 2006 with her first diagnosis. But when faced with stage 4 recurrence in 2010 the cancer came back aggressively spreading to all lobes of her lungs, ribs, sternum and also lymph nodes. UCLA recommended 40 radiation sessions to her sternum to prevent paralysis and she began immediately. 

Shannon was only able to complete 22 radiations due to severe infection and her cancer worsening.  At her next appointment UCLA delivered the frightening news she only had three to maybe 12 months to live. She had a strong intuition that said do not give up.

This also caused her to seek a healthier approach with alternative cancer treatment at CMN Hospital’s Alternative Cancer Treatment in San Luis, Rio Colorado Mexico. Choosing oxygen therapies, healthy IV treatments, Dendritic cell, bone marrow stem cell transplant all seemed like a healthier choice for an already compromised immune system instead of destroying it. https://www.cmnalternativecancertreatment.com/treatment-summary

We have an innate ability to know what is best for our healing.  We just need to quiet our minds and to be in tuned to what our soul is telling us. Today Shannon is devoted to leading individuals who endured emotional trauma and are also facing a diagnosis of cancer  to a place of empowerment and shines a light for all to see.  Shannon is a certified life coach with her focus on “The Emotional Connection to Healing Cancer”. Shannon shares her story — on how cancer physically, emotionally and mentally affected her. 

Over time she learned that there was a lot of emotional trauma that led to her illness.  Shannon was a victim of stalking and sexual assault.  She learned how to cope and heal physically, emotionally and mentally. When Shannon was diagnosed — with a stage four recurrence of breast cancer and given only months to a year to live she realized that illness was simply a call to action for her to slow down ~ take notice of unresolved emotional pain and how to find gratitude for everyday blessings that went unnoticed.  Her hardships only deepened her empathy and compassion for all who are facing a cancer diagnosis. 

She relates to the monumental decision of deciding how to save your life.  She teaches self-compassion and self-trust,  Shannon helps individuals gain new insight and perspective and how to listen to their God-given intuition when deciding what treatment is best for their body. With the choice on which treatment is a very personal one and most of the time people have the answer already within them.

Shannon is a noted author, a certified life coach for women, a keynote speaker and appears as a guest on radio, film and documentary. Shannon is a two-time breast cancer survivor who faced  it twice.  Her cancer type is one of the more common types.  In fact 80% who are diagnosed get have her type, IDC (Invasive ductal carcinoma).   She was ER+ (95% Estrogen + ) PR+ (90%Progesterone positive ) and she was (Negative for HER 2).

If God wants you to be a leader, warrior or change angel, what kind of training do you think that would require?

Think about it” The most extraordinary people I know are ones who have a story of overcoming the most trying circumstances. Not once or twice. Oh no…YEARS OF TRAINING IN THE MAKING.

You are the chosen ones.
I am grateful for all the Advocates, Counselors, Volunteers, and Good Leaders because most of them know the pain and are stronger because of having gone through such great adversities. I have never been counseled well by anyone who never went through hell first.

I am grateful to God for all the struggles that came my way. How else would I develop empathy, compassion, and understanding? Struggles shape us or fool us into believing we got the short end of the stick in life. Our perception is our truth and you can change in an instant. Life will bring adversity and it will be ugly and painful sometimes but how you handle it matters.

I’ve had excellent training and am grateful to feel more for others because of it. She remembers walking into the oncologist’s office to get the breast cancer diagnosis in 2006 and being handed a water bottle with a pink label on it. Again, in 2010, I received the news of breast cancer recurrence, stage 4, and being handed yet another pink promo item – a black canvas bag with a pink ribbon logo on it. The ribbon remains, I’m at stage four now at this point… yet still no cure! Yikes! I’m freaking out!

I had a bone and lung biopsy that confirmed cancer had spread to all lobes of my lungs and bones. I was in serious trouble! After doing the required surgeries to get my diagnosis, I was left sick with pneumonia and staph infection to do the recommended chemotherapy. At the end of their realm of treatment options, UCLA gave me 3-12 months to live. I did what many people think is scary, or even unthinkable, and I went to Mexico so I could try alternative cancer treatment. I refused to give up!

It took my loved ones and me. . . FIVE months to raise the money needed to leave my home country in order to receive non-toxic treatments. had no side effects or a promise to heal me. That’s the truth of the matter: no doctor can guarantee an outcome of successful healing, and if a doctor does, then you better run! Let’s call it for what it is – GOOD MARKETING A CANCER CURE DOES NOT MAKE!

When someone is diagnosed with breast cancer they are often given armfuls of pink propaganda to set them on a course designed to make them feel like a fool if they choose anything other than conventional cancer treatment. Coming from a place of love and good intentions, I was gifted a brand new accessories closet full of pink and I threw away all of the items (Sorry mom, auntie, and friends) because it triggered me – made me sick to my stomach because we are not allowed to believe there is a cure at stage 4.

Once we raised the money I needed, I went to Mexico (CMN Hospital in San Luis, MX) in February 2011. I completed treatment with no ill side effects, and I have been cancer-free ever since October 15th, 2011, with a clear PET Scan. Miracle or science? Eight years later, in 2019, I am grateful as I was 8 years ago to be alive. I am thankful that my fighting spirit and my faith allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and try other healing modalities.

Thank you, Dr. Payan. Thank you, CMN Hospital, and all the other holistic healing facilities trying a healthier approach to heal cancer and give hope to their patients! My twin sister was also diagnosed with breast cancer and went straight to CMN Hospital. Make no mistake about it: I use the word “cure” deliberately because it’s a powerful word and leaves no room for skepticism, worry, or doubt. Our thoughts are influential when it comes to healing. Saying remission sounds temporary to me as if I should constantly be concerned that cancer might come back.

I’m CURED and many people are afraid to claim it. What if claiming it was beneficial to stay healed. It is something to think about for sure — I pray for everyone’s healing from cancer, regardless of the choices made to try and get well. Choosing is not easy, and it is very personal. It takes a lot of thought, faith, hope, and trust. I wish all of you the best on your healing journeys, even if they are different from mine. What works for one person may not work for another, also I pray to God that you find peace and healing no matter what you choose.

Would it be tough? Would it hurt? Would it push you to the edge where you begin to discover abilities you never knew you had? Or would you be pushed to the limit where you feel like throwing in the towel?

When conventional medicine failed her, Shannon discovered alternative healing at an Alternative Cancer Hospital in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico. It was because of her courage to go on searching for the alternative cancer treatment that she is alive today. She survived! The death sentence hanging over her head has been removed for over five years. Shannon is also now a cancer advocate and certified life coach who has assisted many survivors who struggle with the emotional issues connected with cancer.

Shannon has deep empathy for all cancer warriors and understands what an individual goes through once they learn of a cancer diagnosis. She can relate with having to choose treatment and how difficult it is deciding how to save your own life. . . . especially if your doctor has given you only so much time to live. Shannon Knight is a survivor and thriver. Having survived breast cancer twice, including stage 4, she was faced with the challenge and fear of how to save her life. She refused chemotherapy did some radiation and had a mastectomy.

When conventional medicine failed, she discovered alternative healing at a hospital in Mexico. It was because of her courage and willingness to go on searching for alternative cancer treatment that she is alive today. I have been cured for 8 years. Others are cured, too. I want to be a warrior – not a victim — I want my faith to be stronger during trying times. We are not ever abandoned by God. Thank you – God, for your grace! I still have faith in healing therapies and always will.

Autumn in NewYorkCity

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Ken

Elyn Jacobs is a breast cancer survivor, professional cancer strategist, speaker and the former Executive Director for the Emerald Heart Cancer Foundation. Elyn empowers women to choose the path for treatment that best fits their own individual needs. She is passionate about helping others move forward into a life of health and well-being. Elyn has been featured on CNN Money, Talk About Health, and Breast Cancer Answers, is a Contributing Editor for The Truth About Cancer.

Also Elyn has written for the Pink Paper, Breast Cancer Wellness, Integrative Oncology Essentials, Surviving Beautifully, Body Local and more; she authored the Options for Life column for the Natural Healing-Natural Wellness Magazine. Elyn was creator and host of the Survive and Live Well Radio Show on the Cancer Support Network. She is on the Medical Advisory Board for BeatCancer.Org and is on the Advisory Board to the Radical Remission Project. Elyn lives in New York with her husband and two boys. https://elynjacobs.com/about/

Elyn’s story began in 2007 when she was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. At that time, Elyn’s own mother was losing her battle with breast cancer and conventional treatment and Elyn was relieved they were not trying to push those treatments on her. She knew there was more to cancer than burning and poisoning cancer. She choose mastectomy, sought out an integrative oncologist and began doing immense research. That oncologist told her something very important, that something had happened to her before she was five that was driving her cancer. She thought that meant forgiveness, but that all changed in 2014 when the cancer returned. She had missed something. She began working with healers who uncovered the traumas and helped her to release them.
 
While my cancer surely seemed to be an emotionally driven one, I still needed a protocol that would target cancer cells and help prevent the spread of this cancer. I still need to up the ante nutritionally. Working with my oncologist, Dr. Mitch Gaynor, and my alternative doctor,
Dr. Michael Schachter, I devised a protocol of weekly Intravenous Vitamin C treatments in addition to tweaking my targeted supplements. I also worked with Dr. George Wong, and diligently drank his teas daily.

While I was already a healthy eater, I ramped it up by juicing as well as eating sprouts in huge quantities (especially broccoli, watercress, kale and basil), and by consuming fresh herbs every day. Herbs such sage, rosemary, thyme, basil and oregano contain potent anti-cancer compounds and support the production of progesterone (needed to offset estrogen) and ultimately activate the P53 gene, known to cause cell reproduction to cease and cancer cells to die (apoptosis). Unopposed estrogen turns on the BCL2 gene, which is actually what causes cancer cells to grow rapidly and not die. (Vitamin C also boosts the production of progesterone, supporting the P53 gene and thus blocking BCL2).

I also started using Frankincense (Boswellia). At first I was taking this in supplement form, and then in June, began using Sacred Frankincense essential oil in my armpit and on the soles of my feet. What we know about frankincense is that that it boosts the immune system and kills cancer cells—quite effectively. Research shows that frankincense is extremely effective for brain, breast, colon, pancreatic, ovarian, stomach and likely many other cancers.

I also targeted cancer stem cells (CSCs). I know
that cancer stem cells are still to be dealt with. Trapped emotions can also stimulate cancer stem cells to regroup, which is yet another reason emotional stress is undoubtedly the  major cause of cancer and it recurrence, and is why I paid heed to addressing them. Cancer stem cells are the only cancer cells that can metastasize (chemo and radiation are not effective on CSCs and actually make them more powerful).  While I was already doing much to target these cells, I added modified citrus pectin, red raspberry seed powder, and ate even more broccoli sprouts–and again, dealt with those trapped emotions of mine.

I had no intention of taking of taking tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor—there are far better ways to manage estrogen than the use of toxic drugs. Tamoxifen is considered by many to be an anti-estrogen as it binds to estrogen receptor sites on cancer cells thus blocking estrogen from entering, interfering with cell growth and eventually leading to cell death. Soy and flaxseed are also anti-estrogens and can do the very same thing, as the damage of a toxic drug (and they contain other compounds that have been shown to reduce the growth and spread of cancer cells). Rosemary (extract or from the garden) blocks estrogen production and inactivates excess estrogen by stimulating liver enzymes to better metabolize estrogen.Vitamin D also enters cancer cells and triggers that very same cell death process—and researchers believe vitamin D may be just as powerful as the anti-estrogen drug.

I continued to eat scoops and scoops of freshly ground flaxseed (even more than before) and ate a lot of soy (tofu is fine, but fermented soy such as tempeh is far better). I consumed large amounts of rosemary (and other herbs) several times a day. I upped my intake of vitamin D3, which may in fact have been a big part of my healing as my October lab test came in at 95! And of course, I worked hard to raise my progesterone level as its vital to balancing estrogen.

While I don’t often advocate avoiding entire food groups, I did give up one thing–gluten. 
Dr Schachter strongly encouraged me to give up gluten.  At first I was reluctant, but after more suspicious nodes were found in January, I went cold turkey. Later I was to hear from one of my healers that my body cannot handle gluten. Not all people experience uncomfortable reactions to gluten, but the inflammation within is silently doing its damage.

I juiced like crazy until June, when my herb garden blossomed. I replaced my smoothies and juices with seed crusted ‘pizzas’ loaded with sprouts and copious amounts of fresh herbs. Sometimes we get ‘Food Fatigue’ and we need to change things up so we don’t get bored and quit eating or quit eating healthy.

Here is a recap of some of the things I did to beat cancer (understand that this was in ADDITION to what I was already doing, or in some cases, I just upped the dose from what
I was doing–and I take far more supplements than could be listed here).

Salvestrols and many other cancer-targeting, immune-boosting supplements such as
black cumin seed, graviola, cat’s claw, and medicinal mushrooms
Magnesium and vitamin E to boost progesterone and balance hormones
IVC and Liposomal C for its cancer killing pro-oxidant and progesterone building efforts
Rain Soul, a blend of organic seed oils; anti-inflammatory, immune booster, powerful antioxidant, loaded with essential fatty acids (you can order this via their website)
Red raspberry seed powder, black raspberry powder, modified citrus pectin and other supplements that target cancer stem cells: For more natural compounds that target CSC’s. . Read: Cancer Stem Cells—Could They Be the Key to Metastasis?
Daily juicing (leafy greens, carrots, fennel, celery and herbs)
Chinese Herbal Medicine (tea) with Dr George Wong
Copious amounts of sprouts and microgreens: broccoli, watercress, kale, basil, arugula
and added fresh herbs to every meal.
Plenty of D3!! Vitamin D decreases the expression of cancer causing genes and offers many other amazing anti-cancer actions, including the boosting of progesterone levels
Changed my water source, reducing exposure to BPA and tap water toxins (I now use mostly Mountain Valley Spring Water, but if you can install an in-home filter, all the better)
Boosted estrogen metabolism with DIM, milk thistle (and other supplements that support the liver, whose job it is to metabolize estrogen—for more information, please visit my Shop page.
Boosted progesterone production to offset estrogen (this is huge, and you can do it with food, supplements and stress reduction!)
Iodine therapy (and its co-partner Celtic sea salt)
Frankincense
Consumed large amounts of flaxseed and pumpkin seeds, which lower aromatase and offer multiple benefits. It’s been an interesting journey, an educational experience and one that has made me a better and happier person. Nothing happens by chance; perhaps it was all meant to be.

It’s been an interesting journey, an educational experience and one that has made me a better and happier person. Nothing happens by chance; perhaps it was all meant to be.

I figured if cancer could happen to me again with all that I had been doing, I must indeed have missed something and that there was more to do. I encourage you to look deeply within for the root cause of your cancer as I did.

I credit my healing to all of the changes I made. I will never know what, out of all what I did, made the difference, but I truly believe that if I had not healed the mind, I would not have healed the body and would surely see more cancer—and that my ‘recovery’ would be yet another Bandaid.

But I also believe that aside from my emotional healing, my high vitamin D3 consumption, my addition of frankincense and my huge consumption of flaxseed and progesterone boosting, anti-cancer herbs put me right over the edge of healing.
Do I regret my decision for surgery? Absolutely—perhaps I doubted my ability to heal, or perhaps I was just too busy with family issues to think I could manage that much healing. But after the initial node removal in 2014, I declined further surgery for the new affected nodes found in January, 2015. My sonogram October 13 th , 2015 showed the nodes to be clear and that I was NED. I now stick to the lessons I learned throughout my stint with cancer and remain cancer free.
I don’t have my head in the clouds—I know I must continue to nourish mind, body and soul and again, always, always have a plan B. 
Remember, something works for someone, but everything does not work for everyone….
I share with you my story to give you confidence that there are many ways to heal from cancer. Bottom line: ~~If you don’t know your options, you don’t have any.~~

Casein, IGF-1 and Bovine Growth Hormone

Posted on October 13, 2019 by Ken
The Plant Programme Written by Janet Plant.
Professor Jane Plant was one of the world’s leading geochemists, and was chief scientist of the British Geological Survey (BGS) from 2000 to 2005, as well as Professor of Geochemistry at Imperial College, London.

She graduated with a Class I Honors degree in geology at Liverpool University in 1967, gaining her PhD in geochemistry at Leicester University ten years later. Jane worked at the British Geological Survey for her whole professional career, taking a leading role from the start in developing Britain’s national geochemical database, with its direct applications in mineral exploration – and most significantly (and at first unexpectedly) in the new field of environmental health: during the 1970s it was Jane Plant’s team which identified links between deficiency diseases in livestock and the geochemistry of the land on which they lived.

Alongside her BGS position, Jane held other senior posts, including: Chief Scientist, Head of Geoscience Resources and Facilities Directorate 2000-02; Professor of Geochemistry, Imperial College, London; and Vice President, Middleton Exploration during
a sabbatical year in 1988-89.

It is with great sadness that we report that Jane Plant died on 4th March 2016.
You may be visiting this site because you have read Jane’s groundbreaking book entitled Your Life in Your Hands about preventing and treating Breast Cancer or her other recently published book about Prostate cancer.

You may have read other books such as The Plant Programme, Eat Your way to Better Health or the book on Osteoporosis – all packed with delicious healthy recipes- that she has written with her friend and fellow scientist Gill Tidey.

This site provides you with more information about Jane. You can read more about her books including extracts from recent press coverage. You can also learn more about Jane as a scientist and her role in science at the national and international level.
Professor Jane Plant wrote a number of books on the relationship between diet and health.

.She Cured Her Breast Cancer in 6 Weeks Flat — Here is Her Secret

This is her story…

Jane Plant was a professor of geochemistry at Imperial College, London when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42 and, no matter what the doctors threw at it, the cancer kept coming back. Even though she underwent chemotherapy, five years later, the cancer returned with a vengeance, recurring for the fifth time. 
“I asked my doctor to end my life for me there and then — I didn’t see how I could go on battling a disease that seemed hell-bent on finishing me off,” Jane told in an interview to Daily Mail.
She was ready to give up fighting, when she heard her 6-year-old son crying out for her in the next room. Even though her doctor gave her “at the very most, two months to live,” she decided to be strong for her family and try another approach in order to beat cancer.

Remarkably, only six weeks later, her tumor was gone.

This is her secret:

Jane Plant and her husband, Peter Simpson, did their own research and found a connection between the incidence of various types of cancer across the world and diet.

In China, the breast cancer rate was 1 in 100,000 compared to 1 in 10 in the UK, at the time.

(Today, the risk of breast cancer in the US and UK has raised to 1 in 8 women).
“Further research convinced me that it had to be diet-related, and so I adopted the kind of diet predominant in China,” Jane explained.

The Chinese diet:

The predominant Chinese diet (that destroyed Jane’s cancer and kept her alive to this day)
is pretty straight forward:

low animal protein (i.e. less or no meat)
no dairy
lots of fruits, vegetables,
nuts and pulses

And that’s it! Nothing fancy, expensive or not accessible.
“Six years later,” Jane recalls, “I stepped off a train in Reading, where I was giving a lecture, and I was struck with this epiphany: ‘I’m not dead — I’m still not dead.’”

“Those words repeated in my head over and over for the rest of the day. And I knew I could finally allow myself to believe I had beaten cancer.”
Jane Plant is now 70 years old and lives in Richmond with her husband. They have three children and six grandchildren.

Jane wrote The No-Dairy Breast Cancer Prevention Program and other books on the subject, where she details her personal experience and offers invaluable advice on how to prevent or beat cancer.

Conclusion:

It turns out, again and again, that a healthy diet (i.e. keeping your body alkaline) can both prevent and overcome cancer.

This is your long-awaited wake-up call: change your diet today!

Irish Independent – 26th August 2013
Click here for a recent news article about Jane 

From a Chinese medicine perspective, I would not say milk causes cancer. I will say homogenized is harder for the body to separate what is waste and what is to be used. So it has to store it somewhere. Both homogenized and homogenized can cause turbidity in the body that causes brain fog, disrupts the flow of blood, qi, and fluids, but I think processing makes it worse. For heck sakes, it is okay to shake up your milk. When qi can’t flow it generates heat and congeals turbid fluid into what we call phlegm.

We consider cancer hot phlegm. I would not say milk causes cancer. I would say a lifestyle of reducing flow and taking in toxicity causes cancer. This could include too much milk. This could include not enough sleep. This could include tightening in traffic or tensing up to use adrenaline to get what you want to be done in the day, rather than reserving that system for when there is a real threat or an actual roller coaster.
I don’t know of any solid evidence for the link between milk and breast cancer What is evident is the link between alcohol consumption and smoking and breast cancer.

The only way it can cause cancer is by the ways it is contaminated or possibly pasteurization. I think it’s the type of milk you drink. I prefer raw milk. All the hormones and antibiotics fed to dairy cows is awful. So organic is the way I go. There is research that acidic bodies breed cancer, allow cancer to live… If you Google dairy and acidity, it will say most dairy is acidic and acidic for the body with one exception, raw. Raw dairy is neutral.  organic milk has a really long shelf life. It’s pasteurized at a much higher temp, so it kills a lot of the bacteria that makes it go bad.

I saw that article. It says that cheese contains concentrated amounts of hormones from cows, which may be linked to breast cancer.  Yes, and a lot of commercial milk has hormones, too. That’s why I’m very cautious about milk and cheese I consume.   Hormones in milk aren’t actually so bad, unless they’re added. Many of them are actually beneficial. In Canada we don’t allow hormones or antibiotics to be given to our cattle.

Cherie Willoughby Dennard states: I think conventional, pasteurized milk is no good. Growth hormone in particular has been shown to cause breast cancer. I don’t take a chance with it. However, raw, organic milk from the farm is a superfood and has amazing health benefits.
I drink about a gallon of that a week (for 20 years now)

it is absolutely true that milk from cows treated with antibiotics, anti virals, and genetically modified feed. will have those drugs and chemicals including mercury they are found in milk in all industrial dairies. if you can find local natural fed cattle. then we can reduce the carcinogens immensely. we have been consuming milk for over 10,000 years. and we have a close symbiotic relationship with live foods and animals and our gut needs the microscopic enzymes and biotics provided in raw foods. including milk. if you take raw milk and put it on the counter covered with a cloth , it turns into curds and whey both are edible and safe. do the same with processed milk and it goes sour and inedible. all of our lives we kill off cancer cells. the main reason we start losing this battle is our food sources and the poisonous practice of concentrated monoculture food production.

Casein is a Carcinogen, Really? Many people have heard me say, “Casein [the main protein of cow’s milk] is the most relevant chemical carcinogen ever identified.” Guilty, as charged. Many times I’ve said this. For the sake of this discussion, let’s call it an hypothesis, that is, “Casein causes cancer”. Casein and whey are the proteins found in all types of animal milks. It differs in concentrations in different types of milk and is the highest in cow’s milk (87%). Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, has spent 50 years researching the correlation between diet and cancer. He’s dedicated his life to showing people how cancer prevention begins with what we put on our forks, and what we don’t. Dr. Campbell recently gave a speech in Hawaii where he proposed that our high protein intake isn’t just unnecessary, it’s also a huge problem when it comes to increased cancer risks.

It’s more to do with animal proteins than milk itself T. Colin Campbell talks about in his book the China study and 20 year study on humans regards diet after they showed they could turn cancer on and off in mice by diet changes particularly with regards to animal proteins

Here’s Good Read:
The Plant Programme Written by Janet Plant a medical person who had breast cancer six times!!! Very positive book Takes you through her battles and success! 
Imagine the amount of people who would have breast cancer if this were true. I put it right there next to the person that told me. . .  . to not let my baby burp while I’m nursing him because it’ll send an air bubble into me and cause a heart attack.  I just asked my nurse about this when I was in the hospital last week. She said the air bubbles was the first thing she asked about in nursing. They told her it would take an air bubble the size of a football to kill someone.  the same person also told me that if I didn’t empty the breasts properly when nursing, the milk would dry up inside me and cause calcium deposits which would give me breast cancer

There are many ways to get cancer. So possible but not probable. In my opinion the #1 cause of cancer is not getting enough sunlight. Sunlight generates vitamin D which kills pre-cancerous cells. Not getting enough means increase your cancer risk exponentially. This also could explain how consumption of dairy can cause high calcium in the blood. Without the other puzzle pieces like vitamin D and K calcium just wanders through the body.  sooo true! Could not agree more. The uk is told to supplement a deadly low level of d daily. 400iu I believe. I take 5,000iu with co factors k2 and magnesium.

We have 4 times the amount of calcium we need in our diets.
I am from one of the first families asked to be researched for the genetic component. For years i obsessed over causes and influences. After a bad mammogram led to a false diagnosis, two side breast and lymph node removal, and a further round of you have you don’t have, you have cancer,, i’d had enough and decided to live my life. If cancer comes — so be it. So far so good.

My doctor has made a comment similar to this. he then said in the same breath that every thing can cause some sort of illness unless consumed in moderation. Salt is another that can kill you if not taken in moderation, but you can’t live without it. You can most DEFINITELY live without the salt in the blue round box. Switch to the pink Himalayan salt. It is loaded with minerals.

There’s a whole heck of a lot of things that cause cancer a lot more clearly than milk – something humans have had for thousands of years…. Let’s start with the excessive aluminum, parabens, and fat free products marketed for women. For breast cancer specifically, it’s more likely caused by deodorant. Primarily aluminum containing ones.
The quadrant of the breast that the cancer typically starts is closest to the armpit. Between the aluminum and other chemicals that are applied daily if not multiple times a day then absorb into the surrounding tissues. Antiperspirants contain aluminum most deodorants don’t   Due to women wearing bras it limits the lymphatic drainage ability for the body to naturally detox the breast tissues.

I would first find a natural deodorant, then focus on finding a clean source of raw milk.
The homogenization process destroys the milk and makes it difficult for the body to digest. Depending on the health of the cow depends on the ability for it to nourish or promote disease. Personally I would be more concerned with synthetic vitamin D being a cause simply because it’s a chemical vs the natural form. Our bodies weren’t designed to process thousands if not millions of chemicals and toxins daily. Items like paint, makeup, nonstick pans, plastics, laundry detergents, the sun and pretty much everything we use in our daily lives.
